Stein–Sahi Complementary Series and Their Degenerations

  • 1708 Accesses

Abstract

The paper is an introduction to the Stein–Sahi complementary series and to unipotent representations. We also discuss some open problems related to these objects. For the sake of simplicity, we consider only the groups U(n, n).

Keywords

  • Unitary representations
  • Complementary series
  • Symmetric spaces
  • Non-commutative harmonic analysis
  • Classical groups
  • Unitary group
