Conformally invariant trilinear forms on the sphere

Jean-Louis Clerc, Bent Ørsted (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

To each complex number λ is associated a representation π λ of the conformal group S O 0 ( 1 , n ) on 𝒞 ( S n - 1 ) (spherical principal series). For three values λ 1 , λ 2 , λ 3 , we construct a trilinear form on 𝒞 ( S n - 1 ) × 𝒞 ( S n - 1 ) × 𝒞 ( S n - 1 ) , which is invariant by π λ 1 π λ 2 π λ 3 . The trilinear form, first defined for ( λ 1 , λ 2 , λ 3 ) in an open set of 3 is extended meromorphically, with simple poles located in an explicit family of hyperplanes. For generic values of the parameters, we prove uniqueness of trilinear invariant forms.

Conjugate and cut time in the sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions of a plane

Yuri L. Sachkov (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions (rototranslations) of a plane SE(2) is studied. Local and global optimality of extremal trajectories is characterized. Lower and upper bounds on the first conjugate time are proved. The cut time is shown to be equal to the first Maxwell time corresponding to the group of discrete symmetries of the exponential mapping. Optimal synthesis on an open dense subset of the state space is described.

Connected abelian complex Lie groups and number fields

Daniel Vallières (2012)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this note we explain a way to associate to any number field some connected complex abelian Lie groups. Further, we study the case of non-totally real cubic number fields, and we see that they are intimately related with the Cousin groups (toroidal groups) of complex dimension 2 and rank 3 .

Constant term in Harish-Chandra’s limit formula

Mladen Božičević (2008)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Let G be a real form of a complex semisimple Lie group G . Recall that Rossmann defined a Weyl group action on Lagrangian cycles supported on the conormal bundle of the flag variety of G . We compute the signed average of the Weyl group action on the characteristic cycle of the standard sheaf associated to an open G -orbit on the flag variety. This result is applied to find the value of the constant term in Harish-Chandra’s limit formula for the delta function at zero.

Contact and conformal maps on Iwasawa N groups

The action of the conformal group O 1 , n + 1 on R n may be characterized in differential geometric terms, even locally: a theorem of Liouville states that a C 4 map between domains U and V in R n whose differential is a (variable) multiple of a (variable) isometry at each point of U is the restriction to U of a transformation x g x , for some g in O 1 , n + 1 . In this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing the action of a more general semisimple Lie group G on the space G / P , where P is a parabolic subgroup. We solve...
