Given a real reductive group Lie group $G_\mathbb{R}$, the Mackey analogy is a bijection between the set of irreducible tempered representations of $G_\mathbb{R}$ and the set of irreducible unitary representations of its Cartan motion…
George Mackey suggested in 1975 that there should be analogies between the irreducible unitary representations of a noncompact reductive Lie group $G$ and those of its Cartan motion group $G_0$ $-$ the semidirect product of a maximal…
Attached to any reductive Lie group $G$ is a "Cartan motion group" $G_0$ $-$ a Lie group with the same dimension as $G$, but a simpler group structure. A natural one-to-one correspondence between the irreducible tempered representations of…
For a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ we describe an explicit collection of correspondences between the admissible dual of $G$ and the admissible dual of the Cartan motion group associated with $G$. We conjecture that each of these…
We describe our conjecture about the irreducible unitary representations of reductive Lie groups, in the special case of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$.
When $G$ is a real reductive group and $G_0$ is its Cartan motion group, the Mackey-Higson bijection is a natural one-to-one correspondence between all irreducible tempered representations of $G$ and all irreducible unitary representations…
Alain Connes and Nigel Higson pointed out in the 1990s that the Connes-Kasparov "conjecture"' for the K-theory of reduced groupe $C^\ast$-algebras seemed, in the case of reductive Lie groups, to be a cohomological echo of a conjecture of…
This paper is about the Mackey analogy between the tempered representation theory of a real reductive group and that of its Cartan motion group. We consider the embedding of reduced C*-algebras constructed recently in connection with the…
We classify irreducible SL(2,K)-modules of low Morley rank (at most 4.rk(K)) as a first step towards a more general conjecture.
The purpose of this paper is to make a further contribution to the Mackey bijection for a complex reductive group G, between the tempered dual of G and the unitary dual of the associated Cartan motion group. We shall construct an embedding…
The classical McKay correspondence for finite subgroups $G$ of $\SL(2,\C)$ gives a bijection between isomorphism classes of nontrivial irreducible representations of $G$ and irreducible components of the exceptional divisor in the minimal…
We study representations of the double affine Lie algebra associated to a simple Lie algebra. We construct a family of indecomposable integrable representations and identify their irreducible quotients. We also give a condition for the…
In the 1970's, George Mackey pointed out an analogy that exists between tempered representations of semisimple Lie groups and unitary representations of associated semidirect product Lie groups. More recently, Nigel Higson refined Mackey's…
Consider a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and any of its moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}(A,\mathbf{d})^{ss}_{\theta}$ of representations. We prove a decomposition theorem which relates any irreducible component of…
We present a finite algorithm for computing the set of irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive group G. The Langlands classification, as formulated by Knapp and Zuckerman, exhibits any representation with an invariant…
By work of De Concini, Kac and Procesi the irreducible representations of the non-restricted specialization of the quantized enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra g at the roots of unity are parametrized by the conjugacy classes of a group…
We present an application of Hodge theory towards the study of irreducible unitary representations of reductive Lie groups. We describe a conjecture about such representations and discuss some progress towards its proof.
We consider the groups G which arise from real semisimple Jordan algebras via the Tits-Koecher-Kantor construction. Such a G is characterized by the fact that it admits a parabolic subgroup P=LN which is conjugate to its opposite, and for…
We present an explicit construction of the unitary irreducible representations of the two-dimensional Euclidean and Poincar\'e groups, together with their Spin double covers, by means of Mackey's theory of induced representations for…
The purpose of this paper is construct an embedding of the C*-algebra of the Cartan motion group of a real reductive group G into the reduced C*-algebra of G itself. The embedding has a number of applications: we shall use it to…
