Let Z be an algebraic homogeneous space Z=G/H attached to real reductive Lie group G. We assume that Z is real spherical, i.e., minimal parabolic subgroups have open orbits on Z. For such spaces we investigate their large scale geometry and…

For all spherical homogeneous spaces G/H, where G is a simply connected semisimple algebraic group and H a connected solvable subgroup of G, we compute the spectra of the representations of G on spaces of regular sections of homogeneous…

In this paper we explore homogeneous spaces Z=G/H of a a real reductive Lie group G with a closed connected subgroup H. The investigation concerns the decay at infinity of smooth functions on Z, and L^p-integrability of matrix coefficients.…

The solution of the eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian on a general homogeneous space G/H is given. Here, G is a compact, semisimple Lie group, H is a closed subgroup of G, and the rank of H is equal to the rank of G. It is shown that the…

A reductive homogeneous space $G/H$ is always diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of an orbit of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. We prove that if $G/H$ admits compact quotients, then the sphere bundle associated to this normal bundle is…

We give an introduction to basic harmonic analysis and representation theory for homogeneous spaces $Z=G/H$ attached to a real reductive Lie group $G$. A special emphasis is made to the case where $Z$ is real spherical.

In this note we classify all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ admitting a $G$-invariant $G_2$-structure, assuming that $G$ is a compact Lie group and $G$ acts effectively on $G/H$. They include a subclass of all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ with a…

We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative)…

Let Z be a homogeneous space Z=G/H of a real reductive Lie group G with a reductive subgroup H. The investigation concerns the quantitative decay of matrix coefficients on $Z$ under the assumption that Z is of spherical type, that is,…

Let G be a real reductive Lie group and H a closed reductive subgroup of G. We investigate the deformation of "standard" compact quotients of G/H, i.e., of quotients of G/H by discrete subgroups Gamma of G that are uniform lattices in a…

Let G be a real semisimple algebraic Lie group and H a real reductive algebraic subgroup. We describe the pairs (G,H) for which the representation of G in $L^2(G/H)$ is tempered. When G and H are complex Lie groups, the temperedness…

For any homogeneous space of a noncompact semisimple Lie group $G$, we define an exponent with multiple interpretations from representation theory and group theory. As an application, we give a temperedness criterion for $L^2 (G/H)$ for any…

A triple space is a homogeneous space $G/H$ where $G=G_0\times G_0\times G_0$ is a threefold product group and $H\simeq G_0$ the diagonal subgroup of $G$. This paper concerns the geometry of the triple spaces with $G_0=\SL(2,\R)$,…

For a compact homogeneous space $G/K$, we study the problem of existence of $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics such that each eigenspace of the Laplacian is a real irreducible representation of $G$. We prove that the normal metric of a…

In this paper we study the Plancherel formula for a new class of homogeneous spaces for real reductive Lie groups; these spaces are fibered over non-Riemannian symmetric spaces, and they exhibit a phenomenon of uniform infinite…

The classical Cartan-Helgason theorem characterises finite-dimensional spherical representations of reductive Lie groups in terms of their highest weights. We generalise the theorem to the case of a reductive symmetric supergroup pair…
