The Character of the Principal Series of Representations of the Real Unimodular Group
نویسنده
چکیده
The character of the principal series of representations of SL(n,R) is evaluated by using Gel’fand and Naimark’s definition of character. This representation is realized in the space of functions defined on the right coset space of SL(n,R) with respect to the subgroup of real triangular matrices. This form of the representations considerably simplifies the problem of determination of the integral kernel of the group ring which is fundamental in the Gel’fandNaimark theory of character. An important feature of the principal series of representations is that the ‘elliptic’ elements of SL(n,R) do not contribute to its character.

Analytic Continuation of the Principal Series
The purpose of this note is to announce results obtained in the analytic continuation of the (nondegenerate) "principal series" of representations of the nXn complex unimodular group. This study has as its starting point a similar one for the 2X2 real unimodular group previously carried out by us in [4]. We let G be the nXn complex unimodular group and C its diagonal subgroup consisting of elem...
متن کاملGroups with Two Extreme Character Degrees and their Minimal Faithful Representations
for a finite group G, we denote by p(G) the minimal degree of faithful permutation representations of G, and denote by c(G), the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C. In this paper we will assume that, G is a p-group of exponent p and class 2, where p is prime and cd(G) = {1, |G : Z(G)|^1/2}. Then we will s...
متن کاملMonomial Irreducible sln-Modules
In this article, we introduce monomial irreducible representations of the special linear Lie algebra $sln$. We will show that this kind of representations have bases for which the action of the Chevalley generators of the Lie algebra on the basis elements can be given by a simple formula.
متن کاملFiltrations of smooth principal series and Iwasawa modules
Let $G$ be a reductive $p$-adic group. We consider the general question of whether the reducibility of an induced representation can be detected in a ``co-rank one" situation. For smooth complex representations induced from supercuspidal representations, we show that a sufficient condition is the existence of a subquotient that does not appear as a subrepresentation. An import...
متن کاملQUASI-PERMUTATION REPRESENTATIONS OF SUZtTKI GROUP
By a quasi-permutation matrix we mean a square matrix over the complex field C with non-negative integral trace. Thus every permutation matrix over C is a quasipermutation matrix. For a given finite group G, let p(G) denote the minimal degree of a faithful permutation representation of G (or of a faithful representation of G by permutation matrices), let q(G) denote the minimal degree of a fai...
