Current Representation

Let G be the group of R-rational points on a reductive, Zariskiconnected, algebraic group defined over R, let K be a maximal compact subgroup, and let g be the corresponding complexified Lie algebra of G. It is a curious fault of the current representation theory of G that for technical reasons one very rarely works with representations of G itself, but rather with a certain category of simultaneous representations of g and K. The reasons for this are, roughly speaking, that for a given (g,K)-module of finite length there are clearly any number of overlying rather distinct continuous G-representations, whose ‘essence’ is captured by the (g, K)-module alone. At any rate, this paper will propose a remedy for this inconvenience, and define a category of smooth representations of G of finite length which will, I hope, turn out to be as easy to work with as representations of (g, K) and occasionally much more convenient. It is to be considered a report on what has been to a great extent joint work with Nolan Wallach, and is essentially a sequel to [38].

Complex Tori

Let G be a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group and K ⊂ G a maximal compact subgroup. Let M be a compact complex torus equipped with a flat Kähler structure and (EG, θ) a polystable Higgs G-bundle on M. Take any C∞ reduction of structure group EK ⊂ EG to the subgroup K that solves the Yang–Mills equation for (EG, θ). We prove that the principal G-bundle EG is polystable and the above reduction EK solves the Einstein–Hermitian equation for EG. We also prove that for a semistable (respectively, polystable) Higgs G-bundle (EG, θ) on a compact connected Calabi–Yau manifold, the underlying principal G-bundle EG is semistable (respectively, polystable).

Reductive Algebraic Group

Let G be a p-adic connected reductive algebraic group and K a maximal compact subgroup of G. In [4], Casselman obtained the explicit formula of zonal spherical functions on G with respect to K on the assumption that K is special. It is known (Bruhat and Tits [3]) that the affine root system of algebraic group which has good but not special maximal compact subgroup is A1 C2, or Bn (n > 3), and all Bn-types can be realized by orthogonal groups. Here the assumption “good” is necessary for the Satake’s theory of spherical functions.

AbstractThe admissible representations of a real reductive groupGare known by work of Langlands, Knapp, Zuckerman and Vogan. This paper describes an effective algorithm for computing the irreducible representations ofGwith regular integral infinitesimal character. The algorithm also describes structure theory ofG, including the orbits ofK(ℂ) (a complexified maximal compact subgroup) on the flag variety. This algorithm has been implemented on a computer by the second author, as part of the ‘Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations’ project.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Baumslag–Solitar group and let [Formula: see text] be a complex reductive algebraic group with maximal compact subgroup [Formula: see text]. We show that, when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are relatively prime with distinct absolute values, there is a strong deformation retraction of Hom([Formula: see text]) onto Hom([Formula: see text]).

The Absolute

We study a relative variant of Serre’s notion of $G$ -complete reducibility for a reductive algebraic group $G$ . We let $K$ be a reductive subgroup of $G$ , and consider subgroups of $G$ that normalize the identity component $K^{\circ }$ . We show that such a subgroup is relatively $G$ -completely reducible with respect to $K$ if and only if its image in the automorphism group of $K^{\circ }$ is completely reducible. This allows us to generalize a number of fundamental results from the absolute to the relative setting. We also derive analogous results for Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra of $G$ , as well as ‘rational’ versions over nonalgebraically closed fields.

Finitely Generated Modules

In the modular representation theory of finite groups, much recent effort has gone into describing cohomological properties of the category of finitely generated modules. In recent joint work of the author with Jon Carlson and Jeremy Rickard[3], it has become clear that for some purposes the finiteness restriction is undesirable. In particular, in the quotient category of kG-modules by the subcategory of modules of less than maximal complexity, it turns out that finitely generated modules can have infinitely generated summands, and that including these summands in the category repairs the lack of Krull–Schmidt property.

AbstractFor a real vector space V acted on by a group K and fixed x and y in V, we consider the problem of finding the minimum (respectively, maximum) distance, relative to a K-invariant convex function on V, between x and elements of the convex hull of the K-orbit of y. We solve this problem in the case where V is a Euclidean space and K is a finite reflection group acting on V. Then we use this result to obtain an analogous result in the case where K is a maximal compact subgroup of a reductive group G with adjoint action on the vector component ρ of a Cartan decomposition of Lie G. Our results generalize results of Li and Tsing and of Cheng concerning distances to the convex hulls of matrix orbits.

A method is presented that allows one to compute the maximum number of functionally-independent invariant functions under the action of a linear algebraic group as long as its Lie algebra admits a basis of square-zero matrices even on a field of positive characteristic. The class of such Lie algebras is studied in the framework of the classical Lie algebras of arbitrary characteristic. Some examples and applications are also given.
