This paper contains a non-trivial generalization of the Harish-Chandra transforms on a connected semisimple Lie group $G,$ with finite center, into what we term spherical convolutions. Among other results we show that its integral over the…

Let $G_1,G_2$ be real reductive groups and $(\pi,V)$ a smooth, irreducible, admissible representation of $G_1 \times G_2$. We prove that $(\pi,V)$ is the completed tensor product of $(\pi_i,V_i)$, $i=1,2$, where $(\pi_i,V_i)$ is a…

In this paper we study the problem of explicitly describing the space of invariant linear forms on induced distinguished representations in terms of invariant linear forms on the inducing representation. More precisely, for certain tempered…

The coadjoint representation of a connected algebraic group $Q$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak q$ is a thrilling and fascinating object. Symmetric invariants of $\mathfrak q$ (= $\mathfrak q$-invariants in the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak…

We discuss the Berezin transform, a Markov operator associated to positive-operator valued measures (POVMs). We consider the class of so-called orbit POVMs, constructed on the quotient space $\Omega = G/K$ of a compact group $G$ by its…

For a non-compact simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\mathbb{R}$, we denote by $\mathcal{O}^{\mathbb{C}}_{\min,\mathfrak{g}}$ the unique complex nilpotent orbit in $\mathfrak{g} \otimes_\mathbb{R} \mathbb{C}$ containing all minimal…

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.…

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…

Let G=SU(2,1). In this paper we parametrize irreducible unitary (g,K) modules of G. The parametrization is done in two steps. Firstly, we parametrize irreducible (g,K) modules (Theorem 3). In the second step we find unitary (g,K) modules…

We work in the category $\mathcal{CLM}^u_k$ of [5] of separated complete bounded $k$-linearly topologized modules over a complete linearly topologized ring $k$ and discuss duality on certain exact subcategories. We study topological and…

We study special functions on euclidean spaces from the viewpoint of riemannian symmetric spaces. Here the euclidean space $E^n = G/K$ where $G$ is the semidirect product $R^n \cdot K$ of the translation group with a closed subgroup $K$ of…

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…

We consider random permutations which are spherically symmetric with respect to a metric on the symmetric group $S_n$ and are consistent as $n$ varies. The extreme infinitely spherically symmetric permutation-valued processes are identified…

We analyse certain Haar systems associated to groupoids obtained by certain natural equivalence relations of dynamical nature on sets like $\{1,2,...,d\}^\mathbb{Z}$, $\{1,2,...,d\}^\mathbb{N}$, $S^1\times S^1$, or $(S^1)^\mathbb{N}$, where…

We present a method to obtain infinitely many examples of pairs $(W,D)$ consisting of a matrix weight $W$ in one variable and a symmetric second-order differential operator $D$. The method is based on a uniform construction of matrix valued…

Let $K$ be a finite group and let $G$ be a finite group acting on $K$ by automorphisms. In this paper we study two different but intimately related subjects: on the one side we classify all possible multiplicative and associative structures…

A strong Gelfand pair $(G, H)$ is a finite group $G$ and a subgroup $H$ where every irreducible character of $H$ induces to a multiplicity-free character of $G$. We determine the strong Gelfand pairs of the dihedral groups $D_{2n}$ and the…
