Cartan decomposition for complex loop groups

Representation Theory 2014-02-07 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

In this note we formulate and prove a version of Cartan decomposition for holomorphic loop groups, similar to Cartan decomposition for pp-adic loop groups, discussed proved by Garland (and later by the authors by geometric mathods). The main technical tool that we use is the (well-known) interpretation of twisted conjugacy classes in the holomorphic loop group in terms of principal holomorphic bundles on an elliptic curve.
