Continuity of the Mackey-Higson bijection

Representation Theory 2021-03-10 v2

Abstract

When GG is a real reductive group and G0G_0 is its Cartan motion group, the Mackey-Higson bijection is a natural one-to-one correspondence between all irreducible tempered representations of GG and all irreducible unitary representations of G0G_0. In this short note, we collect some known facts about the topology of the tempered dual G~\widetilde{G} and that of the unitary dual G0^\widehat{G_0}, then verify that the Mackey-Higson bijection G~G0^\widetilde{G} \to \widehat{G_0} is continuous.
