Let $G$ be a real compact Lie group, such that $G=G^0\rtimes C_2$, with $G^0$ simple. Here $G^0$ is the connected component of $G$ containing the identity and $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order $2$. We give a criterion for whether an…

We consider a dual pair $(G,G')$, in the sense of Howe, with $G$ compact acting on $L^2(\mathbb R^n)$ for an appropriate $n$ via the Weil Representation. Let $\widetilde{G}$ be the preimage of $G$ in the metaplectic group. Given a genuine…

A real representation $\pi$ of a finite group may be regarded as a homomorphism to an orthogonal group $\Or(V)$. For symmetric groups $S_n$, alternating groups $A_n$, and products $S_n \times S_{n'}$ of symmetric groups, we give criteria…

In this article, we consider a dual pair $(G, G')$ in the symplectic group $Sp(W)$ with $G$ compact and let $(\tilde{G}, \tilde{G}')$ be the preimages of $G$ and $G'$ in the metaplectic group $\widetilde{Sp(W)}$. For every irreducible…

We consider a dual pair $(G, G')$, in the sense of Howe, with G compact acting on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, for an appropriate $n$, via the Weil representation $\omega$. Let $\tilde{\mathrm{G}}$ be the preimage of G in the metaplectic group.…

Suppose $(G,G')$ is a dual pair of subgroups of a metaplectic group. The dual pair correspondence is a bijection between (subsets of the) irreducible representations of $G$ and $G'$, defined by the non-vanishing of…

When the gauge groups of the two heterotic string theories are broken, over tori, to their "SO(16)x SO(16)" subgroups, the winding modes correspond to representations which are spinorial with respect to those subgroups. Globally, the two…

Let W be a real symplectic space and (G,G') an irreducible dual pair in Sp(W), in the sense of Howe, with G compact. Let $\widetilde{\mathrm{G}}$ be the preimage of G in the metaplectic group $\widetilde{\mathrm{Sp}}(\mathrm{W})$. Given an…

We review the role in physics of the Pin groups, double covers of the full Lorentz group. Pin(1,3) is to O(1,3) what Spin(1,3) is to SO(1,3). The existence of two Pin groups offers a classification of fermions based on their properties…

For an irreducible dual pair $(G, G') \in Sp(W)$ with one member compact and two representations $\Pi \leftrightarrow \Pi'$ appearing in the Howe duality, we give an expression of the character $\Theta_{\Pi'}$ of $\Pi'$ via the character of…

We study general aspects of the reductive dual pair correspondence, also known as Howe duality. We make an explicit and systematic treatment, where we first derive the oscillator realizations of all irreducible dual pairs: $(GL(M,\mathbb…

We prove Howe duality for an exceptional theta correspondence. To that end we exploit a pair of see-saw identities and relate the $K$-types of corresponding representations.

We consider the dual pair $(G,G')=(\mathrm{U}_l,\mathrm{U}_{l'})$ in the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_{2ll'}(\mathbb{R})$. Fix a Weil representation of the metaplectic group $\tilde{\mathrm{Sp}}_{2ll'}(\mathbb{R})$. Let $\tilde{G\,}$ and…

We determine which orthogonal representations V of GL(n,q) lift to the double cover Pin(V ) of the orthogonal group O(V ). We cover all n and prime powers q, except for (n; q) =(3,4).

We study the Howe correspondence for unipotent representations of irreducible dual pairs $(G',G)=(\text{U}_m(\mathbb{F}_q),\text{U}_n(\mathbb{F}_q))$ and $(G',G)=(\text{Sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{F}_q),\text{O}^\epsilon_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q))$, where…

We study three exceptional theta correspondences for p-adic groups, where one member of the dual pair is the exceptional group G2. We prove the Howe duality conjecture for these dual pairs and a dichotomy theorem, and determine explicitly…

For all the irreducible dual pairs of type I $(G,G')$, we analyze the restriction of the oscillator representation as a $(\mathfrak{g}', K')$-module, when $G'$ is the smaller group. For all $(G,G')$ in the stable range, as well as one more…

Let $G$ be a classical group $\GL(n)$, $\oU(n)$, $\oO(n)$ or $\Sp(2n)$, over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible admissible smooth representation of $G$. It is well known that the contragredient…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field of characteristic $0$ and $G=Sp(4,F)$. Let $(\pi,W)$ be an irreducible smooth self-dual representation $G$. The space $W$ of $\pi$ admits a non-degenerate $G$-invariant bilinear form $(\,,\,)$ which…

In this article, we give a new method for proving Howe correspondence in the case of dual pairs of type $({\rm GL}_n, {\rm GL}_m)$ over a non-Archimedean locally compact field $F$. The proof consists in combining a study on Kudla's…
