We show that if every module W for a vertex operator algebra V satisfies the condition that the dimension of W/C_1(W) is less than infinity, where C_1(W) is the subspace of W spanned by elements of the form u_{-1}w for u in V of positive…
In 1978 Kostant suggested the Whittaker model of the center of the universal enveloping algebra U(g) of a complex simple Lie algebra g. The main result is that the center of U(g) is isomorphic to a commutative subalgebra in U(b), where b is…
Let $L(\lambda)$ be a highest weight Harish-Chandra module with highest weight $\lambda$. When the associated variety of $L(\lambda)$ is not maximal, that is, not equal to the nilradical of the corresponding parabolic subalgebra, we prove…
Let $G$ be a complex reductive algebraic group. In this paper, we give a geometric definition of a unipotent representation of $G$. Our definition generalizes the notion of a special unipotent representation, due to Barbasch-Vogan and…
It is proved that an indecomposable Harish-Chandra module over the Virasoro algebra must be (i) a uniformly bounded module, or (ii) a module in Category $\cal O$, or (iii) a module in Category ${\cal O}^-$, or (iv) a module which contains…
A famous theorem of Harish-Chandra shows that all invariant eigendistributions on a semisimple Lie group are locally integrable functions. We give here an algebraic version of this theorem in terms of polynomials associated with a holonomic…
A basic exact sequence by Harish-Chandra related to the invariant differential operators on a Riemannian symmetric space G/K is generalized for each K-type in a certain class which we call `single-petaled'. The argument also includes a…
We classify Harish-Chandra modules generated by the pullback to the metaplectic group of harmonic weak Maa{\ss} forms with exponential growth allowed at the cusps. This extends work by Schulze-Pillot and parallels recent work by…
We develop an algebraic quantisation approach, based on quantisation ideals, and apply it to integrable non-Abelian differential--difference equations. We show that the Toda hierarchy admits a bi-quantum structure whose classical…
In this article we consider the centre of the reduced enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group in very good characteristic p > 2. The Harish-Chandra centre maps to the centre of each reduced enveloping algebra…
We consider the extended superconformal algebras of the Knizhnik-Bershadsky type with $W$-algebra like composite operators occurring in the commutation relations, but with generators of conformal dimension 1,$\frac{3}{2}$ and 2, only. These…
In a celebrated unpublished manuscript Beilinson and Drinfeld quantize the Hitchin integrable system by showing that the global sections of critically twisted differential operators on the moduli stack of G-bundles on an algebraic curve is…
The purpose of this article is to give the first complete proof of the Whittaker Plancherel Theorem. The proof uses Harish-Chandra's Plancherel Theorem for a real reductive group and its exposition can be used as an introduction to…
We study a category of Whittaker modules over a complex semisimple Lie algebra by realizing it as a category of twisted D-modules on the associated flag variety using Beilinson-Bernstein localization. The main result of this paper is the…
We prove a localization theorem for affine $W$-algebras in the spirit of Beilinson--Bernstein and Kashiwara--Tanisaki. More precisely, for any non-critical regular weight $\lambda$, we identify $\lambda$-monodromic Whittaker $D$-modules on…
We construct a new class of algebras resembling enveloping algebras and generalizing orthogonal Gelfand-Zeitlin algebras and rational Galois algebras studied by [EMV,FuZ,RZ,Har]. The algebras are defined via a geometric realization in terms…
We make a first step towards a classification of simple generalized Harish-Chandra modules which are not Harish-Chandra modules or weight modules of finite type. For an arbitrary algebraic reductive pair of complex Lie algebras $(\g,\k)$,…
Many examples are given of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for type C having reducible leading term cycles. Examples are also given of irreducibles in category O having reducible associated varieties in type C.
A method of G. Wilson for generating commutative algebras of ordinary differential operators is extended to higher dimensions. Our construction, based on the theory of D-modules, leads to a new class of examples of commutative rings of…
For a real reductive linear Lie group G, the space of Whittaker functions is the representation space induced from a non-degenerate unitary character of the Iwasawa nilpotent subgroup. Defined are the standard Whittaker (g,K)-modules, which…
