چکیده

When G is a complex reductive algebraic group and G/K is a reductive symmetric space, the decomposition of C[G/K] as a K-module was obtained (in a non-constructive way) by R. Richardson, generalizing the celebrated result of Kostant-Rallis for the linearized problem (the harmonic decomposition of the isotropy representation). To obtain a constructive version of Richardson’s results, this paper studies the infinite dimensional Lie algebra X(G/K) of K-invariant vector fields using the geometry of G/K and the K-spherical representations of G. A finite set of generators is constructed for X(G/K) as a module over the K-invariant functions when G is simple and simply connected. A commutator formula is obtained for K-invariant vector fields in terms of the corresponding K-covariant maps from G to the isotropy representation of G/K. Vector fields on G/K whose horizontal lifts to G are tangent to the Cartan embedding of G/K into G are called flat. When G is simple and simply connected it is shown that every element of X(G/K) is flat if and only if K is semisimple. These results are applied in the case of the adjoint representation of G = SL(2, C) to construct a conjugation invariant differential operator whose kernel furnishes a harmonic decomposition of C[G].

‎Some‎ relations between ‎$‎L^p‎$‎-spaces on locally compact group ‎$‎G‎$ ‎and‎ double coset $Ksetminus G/H‎$

Let $H$ and $K$ be compact subgroups of locally compact group $G$. By considering the double coset space $Ksetminus G/H$, which equipped with an $N$-strongly quasi invariant measure $mu$, for $1leq pleq +infty$, we make a norm decreasing linear map from $L^p(G)$ onto $L^p(Ksetminus G/H,mu)$ and demonstrate that it may be identified with a quotient space of $L^p(G)$. In addition, we illustrate t...

ON THE USE OF KULSHAMMER TYPE INVARIANTS IN REPRESENTATION THEORY

Since 2005 a new powerful invariant of an algebra has emerged using the earlier work of Horvath, Hethelyi, Kulshammer and Murray. The authors studied Morita invariance of a sequence of ideals of the center of a nite dimensional algebra over a eld of nite characteristic. It was shown that the sequence of ideals is actually a derived invariant, and most recently a slightly modied version o...

Characterizations of amenable hypergroups

Let $K$ be a locally compact hypergroup with left Haar measure and let $L^1(K)$ be the complex Lebesgue space associated with it. Let $L^infty(K)$ be the dual of $L^1(K)$. The purpose of this paper is to present some necessary and sufficient conditions for $L^infty(K)^*$ to have a topologically left invariant mean. Some characterizations of amenable hypergroups are given.
