Let G/H be a unimodular real spherical space which is either absolutely spherical or wave-front. It is shown that every tempered representation of G/H embeds into a relative discrete series of a boundary degeneration of G/H. If in addition G/H is of wave-front type it follows that the tempered representation is parabolically induced from a discrete series representation of a lower dimensional real spherical space. Final version. To appear in Acta Math.
Let $Z$ be a unimodular real spherical space. We develop a theory of constant terms for tempered functions on $Z$ which parallels the work of Harish-Chandra. The constant terms $f_I$ of an eigenfunction $f$ are parametrized by subsets $I$ of the set $S$ of spherical roots which determine the fine geometry of $Z$ at infinity. Constant terms are transitive i.e. $(f_J)_I=f_I$ for $I\subset J$, and our main result is a quantitative bound of the difference $f-f_I$, which is uniform in the parameter of the eigenfunction.
We continue our study of the poles of local Langlands L-functions through the theory of induced from supercuspidal representations of quasi-split groups. Here we study the odd special orthogonal groups, and hence determine poles of Rankin product L-functions. The pole of the intertwining operator is determined in terms of the theory of orbital integrals. This gives a description of the poles in terms of twisted endoscopy, as in previous cases. We use the language of functorial transfer to give precise descrption of the pole in terms of the local components of the global transfer, which has now…
We prove the Plancherel formula for spherical Schwartz functions on a reductive symmetric space. Our starting point is an inversion formula for spherical smooth compactly supported functions. The latter formula was earlier obtained from the most continuous part of the Plancherel formula by means of a residue calculus. In the course of the present paper we also obtain new proofs of the uniform tempered estimates for normalized Eisenstein integrals and of the Maass-Selberg relations satisfied by the associated C-functions.
The tempered spectrum of the similitude groups of non-degenerate symplectic, hermitian, or split orthogonal forms defined over $p$\snug-adic groups of characteristic zero is studied. The components of representations induced from discrete series of proper parabolic subgroups are classified in terms of $R$\snug-groups. Multiplicity one is proved. The tempered elliptic spectrum is identified, and the relation between elliptic characters appearing in a given induced representation is determined. Those irreducible tempered representations which are not elliptic and not fully induced from elliptic …
Let S(X) be the Schwartz space of compactly supported smooth functions on the p-adic points of a spherical variety X, and let C(X) be the space of Harish-Chandra Schwartz functions. Under assumptions on the spherical variety, which are satisfied when it is symmetric, we prove Paley-Wiener theorems for the two spaces, characterizing them in terms of their spectral transforms. As a corollary, we get relative analogs of the smooth and tempered Bernstein centers -- rings of multipliers for S(X) and C(X). When X= a reductive group, our theorem for C(X) specializes to the well-known theorem of Haris…
This paper gives a complete classification of the unitary irreducible spherical representations of split real and p-adic groups. The results were obtained around 2000, the changes to the new version are expository.
For an unramified connected reductive group $G$ defined over a number field $F$, consider the part of the spherical automorphic spectrum with cuspidal support $[T,\mathcal{O}(χ)]$, where $T$ is a maximal torus and $χ$ is an unramified automorphic character. We define a normalization of the Eisenstein series and we give the precise spectral decomposition of the closure of the subspace spanned by the normalized pseudo-Eiseinstein series. The proof uses residue distributions which were introduced by the third author (in joint work with G. Heckman) in the study of graded affine Hecke algebras, whi…

In a recent preprint, Sakellaridis and Venkatesh considered the spectral decomposition of the space $L^2(X)$, where $X = H\G$ is a spherical variety and $G$ is a real or $p$-adic group, and stated a conjecture describing this decomposition in terms of a dual group $\check{G}_X$ associated to $X$. The main purpose of this paper is to verify the above conjecture in many cases when $X$, has low rank. In particular, we demonstrate this conjecture for many cases when $X$ has rank 1, and also some cases when $X$ has rank 2 or 3.
We study the auto-correlation measures of invariant random point processes in the hyperbolic plane which arise from various classes of aperiodic Delone sets. More generally, we study auto-correlation measures for large classes of Delone sets in (and even translation bounded measures on) arbitrary locally compact homogeneous metric spaces. We then specialize to the case of weighted model sets, in which we are able to derive more concrete formulas for the auto-correlation. In the case of Riemannian symmetric spaces we also explain how the auto-correlation of a weighted model set in a Riemannian …
We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $Γ\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $Γ$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative) algebra $D(G/H)$ of invariant differential operators acting, as unbounded operators, on the Hilbert space $L^2(Γ\backslash G/H)$ of square integrable complex functions on $Γ\backslash G/H$. In the case of the Lorentzian symmetric space $SO_0(2,2n)/SO_0(1,2n)$, the representation theoretic spectrum is described explicitly. The strategy is to consider connected reductive Li…
Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a number field $F$. We consider the computation of the inner product of two $K$-spherical pseudo Eisenstein series of $G$ supported in $[T,\mathcal{O}(1)]$ by means of residues, following a classical approach initiated by Langlands. We show that only the singularities of the intertwining operators due to the poles of the completed Dedekind zeta function $Λ_F$ contribute to the spectrum, while the singularities caused by the zeroes of $Λ_F$ do not contribute to any of the iterated residues which arise as a result of the necessary contour shifts. In the co…
The spectrum of $L^2$ on a pseudo-unitary group $U(p,q)$ (we assume $p\ge q$ naturally splits into $q+1$ types. We write explicitly orthogonal projectors in $L^2$ to subspaces with uniform spectra (this is an old question formulated by Gelfand and Gindikin). We also write two finer separations of $L^2$. In the first case pieces are enumerated by $r=0$, 1,..., $q$ and representations of discrete series of $U(p-r,q-r)$, where $r=0$, \dots, $q$. In the second case pieces are enumerated by all discrete parameters of the tempered spectrum of $U(p,q)$.
The description of irreducible representations of a group G can be seen as a question in harmonic analysis; namely, decomposing a suitable space of functions on G into irreducibles for the action of G x G by left and right multiplication. For a split p-adic reductive group G over a local non-archimedean field, unramified irreducible smooth representations are in bijection with semisimple conjugacy classes in the ``Langlands dual'' group. We generalize this description to an arbitrary spherical variety X of G as follows: Irreducible unramified quotients of the space $C_c^\infty(X)$ are in natur…
The spectrum of a Gelfand pair of the form (K lx N, K), where N is a nilpotent group, can be embedded in a Euclidean space Rd . The identification of the spherical transforms of K-invariant Schwartz functions on N with the restrictions to the spectrum of Schwartz functions on Rd has been proved already when N is a Heisenberg group and in the case where N = N3,2 is the free two-step nilpotent Lie group with three generators, with K = SO3 [2, 3, 11]. We prove that the same identification holds for all pairs in which the K-orbits in the centre of N are spheres. In the appendix, we produce bases o…
After reviewing the algebraic structures that underlie the geometries of N=2 Maxwell-Einstein supergravity theories (MESGT) in five and four dimensions with symmetric scalar manifolds, we give a unified realization of their three dimensional U-duality groups as spectrum generating quasiconformal groups. They are F_{4(4)}, E_{6(2)}, E_{7(-5)}, E_{8(-24)} and SO(n+2,4). Our formulation is covariant with respect to U-duality symmetry groups of corresponding five dimensional supergravity theories, which are SL(3,R), SL(3,C), SU*(6), E_{6(6)} and SO(n-1,1)X SO(1,1), respectively. We determine the s…
