Let be a semisimple algebraic Lie group and a reductive subgroup. We find geometrically the best even integer for which the representation of in is almost . As an application, we give a criterion which detects whether this representation is tempered.
Let S be a semidirect product S = N⋊ A where N is a connected and simply connected, non-abelian, nilpotent meta-abelian Lie group and A is isomorphic to , k>1. We consider a class of second order left-invariant differential operators on S of the form , where , and for each is left-invariant second order differential operator on N and , where Δ is the usual Laplacian on . Using some probabilistic techniques (e.g., skew-product formulas for diffusions on S and N respectively) we obtain an...
In this paper we derive, using the Gauss summation theorem for hypergeometric series, a simple integral expression for the reciprocal of Euler’s beta function. This expression is similar in form to several well-known integrals for the beta function itself.We then apply our new formula to the study of Whittaker functions, which are special functions that arise in the Fourier theory for automorphic forms on the general linear group. Specifically, we deduce explicit integral representations of “fundamental”...
We prove the Paley-Wiener theorem for the Helgason Fourier transform of smooth compactly supported 𝔳-radial functions on a Damek-Ricci space S = NA.
