Similarity:

One of the fundamental problems of abstract harmonic analysis is the determination of the irreducible unitary representations of simple Lie groups. After recalling why this problem is of interest, we discuss the present state of knowledge about it. In the language of Kirillov and Kostant, the problem finally is to «quantize» nilpotent coadjoint orbits.

Factor representations of diffeomorphism groups

Robert P. Boyer (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We give a new construction of semifinite factor representations of the diffeomorphism group of euclidean space. These representations are in canonical correspondence with the finite factor representations of the inductive limit unitary group. Hence, many of these representations are given in terms of quasi-free representations of the canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations. To establish this correspondence requires a generalization of complete positivity as developed in...
