Kac-Moody groups, hovels and Littelmann paths

Stéphane Gaussent, Guy Rousseau (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give the definition of a kind of building for a symmetrizable Kac-Moody group over a field K endowed with a discrete valuation and with a residue field containing . Due to the lack of some important property of buildings, we call it a hovel. Nevertheless, some good ones remain, for example, the existence of retractions with center a sector-germ. This enables us to generalize many results proved in the semisimple case by S. Gaussent and P. Littelmann. In particular, if K = ( ( t ) ) , the geodesic segments...

K-finite Whittaker functions are of finite order one

(2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove a finite order one type estimate for the Whittaker function attached to a K-finite section of a principle series representation of a real or complex Chevalley group. Effective computations are made using convexity in ℂⁿ, following the original paper of Jacquet. As an application, we give a simplified proof of the known result of the boundedness in vertical strips of certain automorphic L-functions, using a result of Müller.

Kikkawa loops and homogeneous loops

Michihiko Kikkawa (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In H. Kiechle's publication ``Theory of K-loops'' [3], the name Kikkawa loops is given to symmetric loops introduced by the author in 1973. This concept started from an analogical imagination of sum of vectors in Euclidean space brought up on a sphere. In 1975, this concept was extended by him to the more general concept of homogeneous loops, and it led us to a non-associative generalization of the theory of Lie groups. In this article, the backstage of finding these concepts will be disclosed from...
