Fourier transform on graded Lie algebras

Abstract

In this paper we study the Fourier transform on graded Lie algebras. Let GG be a complex, connected, reductive, algebraic group, and χ:C×G\chi:\mathbb{C}^\times \to G be a fixed cocharacter that defines a grading on g\mathfrak{g}, the Lie algebra of GG. Let G0G_0 be the centralizer of χ(C×)\chi(\mathbb{C}^\times). Here under some assumptions on the field k\Bbbk and also assuming two conjectures for the group GG, we prove that the Fourier transform sends parity complexes to parity complexes. Primitive pairs have played an important role in Lusztig's paper \cite{Lu} to prove a block decomposition in the graded setting. A long term goal of this project is to prove a similar block decomposition in positive characteristic. In this paper we have tried to understand the primitive pair and its relation with the Fourier transform.
