AbstractWe study the functional calculus associated with a hypoelliptic left-invariant differential operator $$\mathcal {L}$$ L on a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group G with the aid of the corresponding Rockland operator $$\mathcal {L}_0$$ L 0 on the ‘local’ contraction $$G_0$$ G 0 of G, as well as of the corresponding Rockland operator $$\mathcal {L}_\infty $$ L ∞ on the ‘global’ contraction $$G_\infty $$ G ∞ of G. We provide asymptotic estimates of the Riesz potentials associated with $$\mathcal {L}$$ L at 0 and at $$\infty $$ ∞ , as well as of the kernels associated with functions of $$\mathcal {L}$$ L satisfying Mihlin conditions of every order. We also prove some Mihlin–Hörmander multiplier theorems for $$\mathcal {L}$$ L which generalize analogous results to the non-homogeneous case. Finally, we extend the asymptotic study of the density of the ‘Plancherel measure’ associated with $$\mathcal {L}$$ L from the case of a quasi-homogeneous sub-Laplacian to the case of a quasi-homogeneous sum of even powers.

Abstract For a locally compact group G, we study the distality of the action of automorphisms T of G on Sub G , the compact space of closed subgroups of G endowed with the Chabauty topology. For a certain class of discrete groups G, we show that T acts distally on Sub G if and only if T n is the identity map for some $n\in\mathbb N$ . As an application, we get that for a T-invariant lattice Γ in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group G, T acts distally on Sub G if and only if it acts distally on SubΓ. This also holds for any closed T-invariant co-compact subgroup Γ in G. For a lattice Γ in a simply connected solvable Lie group, we study conditions under which its automorphisms act distally on SubΓ. We construct an example highlighting the difference between the behaviour of automorphisms on a lattice in a solvable Lie group and that in a nilpotent Lie group. We also characterise automorphisms of a lattice Γ in a connected semisimple Lie group which act distally on SubΓ. For torsion-free compactly generated nilpotent (metrisable) groups G, we obtain the following characterisation: T acts distally on Sub G if and only if T is contained in a compact subgroup of Aut(G). Using these results, we characterise the class of such groups G which act distally on Sub G . We also show that any compactly generated distal group G is Lie projective.

Let P be the set of primes, l ⊆ P a subset and l′ = P – l Recall that an H0-space is a space the rational cohomology of which is a free algebra.Cassidy and Hilton defined and investigated l′-isolated homomorphisms between locally nilpotent groups. Zabrodsky [8] showed that if X and Y are simply connected H0-spaces either with a finite number of homotopy groups or with a finite number of homology groups, then every rational equivalence f : X → Y can be decomposed into an l-equivalence and an l′-equivalence.In this paper we define and investigate l′-isolated maps between pointed spaces, which are of the homotopy type of path-connected nilpotent CW-complexes. Our definition of an l′-isolated map is analogous to the definition of an l′-isolated homomorphism. As every homomorphism can be decomposed into an l-isomorphism and an l′-isolated homomorphism, every map can be decomposed into an l-equivalence and an l′-isolated map.

TThe topic of this thesis is functional calculus in connection with abstract multiplier theorems. In 1960, Hörmander showed how the uniform boundedness of certain integral means of a function m in L ∞ (R^d) and its weak derivatives imply that m yields a bounded Lp -Fourier multiplier. Nowadays, this is known as the Hörmander multiplier theorem, sometimes Hörmander--Mikhlin multiplier theorem. A noteworthy detail is that a radial function m(|x|) satisfies Hörmander's condition if and only if m (|x|²) does. Hence, Hörmander's theorem is also a result on the functional calculus of the negative Laplacian -Δ. Hörmander's result has inspired a lot of research, and authors have also proven similar results for other operators such as certain Schrödinger operators, Sublaplacians on Lie groups, and later certain differential operators on spaces of homogeneous type. For us, the work of Kriegler and Weis is of particular interest. Starting with the PhD thesis of Kriegler in 2009, they showed how abstract multiplier theorems can be proven in a more general context. Namely, considering a certain class of 0-sectorial and 0-strip type operators on a general Banach space, one can construct an abstract Hörmander functional calculus based on the classical holomorphic calculus. Then, by using probalistic techniques from Banach space geometry involving so-called R-boundedness one can derive multiplier results in this generalized setting. In 2001, García-Cuerva, Mauceri, Meda, Sjögren, and Torrea proved an abstract multiplier theorem for generators of symmetric contraction semigroups, where a bounded Hörmander calculus is inferred from growth conditions on the imaginary powers of the generator. As the considered operators need not be 0-sectorial, this result is not covered by the methods of Kriegler and Weis. However, the result is based on Meda's earlier work, where he derived a bounded Hörmander if the given imaginary powers only grow polynomially fast. In this case, the operator is 0-sectorial, and Kriegler and Weis were able to recover the result while improving the order of the calculus. In this thesis, we introduce a generalized class of Hörmander functions defined on strips and sectors. Based on this and the classical holomorphic calculus, we construct a holomorphic Hörmander calculus for a class of operators which may also have strip type or angle of sectoriality greater than zero. The main result is a generalization of the multiplier theorem of García-Cuerva et al. to Banach spaces of finite cotype and Banach spaces with Pisier's property (α), where we retain and even improve the order given by Kriegler and Weis for the 0-sectorial case.

AbstractFor a connected open subset Ω of the plane and n a positive integer, let be the space introduced by Cowen and Douglas in their paper, “Complex geometry and operator theory”. Our main concern is the case n = 1, in which case we show the existence of a functional calculus for von Neumann operators in for which a spectral mapping theorem holds. In particular we prove that if the spectrum of , is a spectral set for T, and if , then σ(f(T)) = f(Ω)- for every bounded analytic function f on the interior of L, where L is compact, σ(T) ⊂ L, the interior of L is simply connected and L is minimal with respect to these properties. This functional calculus turns out to be nice in the sense that the general study of von Neumann operators in is reduced to the special situation where Ω is an open connected subset of the unit disc with .

Given a Lie group, it is often useful to have a parametrization of the set of its lattices. In Euclidean space ℝn, for example, each lattice corresponds to a basis, and any lattice is equivalent to the standard integer lattice under an automorphism in GL(n, ℝ). In the nilpotent case, the lattices of the Heisenberg groups are classified, up to automorphisms, by certain sequences of positive integers with divisibility conditions (see [1]). In this paper we will study the set of lattices in a class of simply connected, solvable, but not nilpotent groups G. The construction of G depends on a diagonal n×n matrix Δ with distinct non-zero eigenvalues, of trace 0; we will writeformula here

We are concerned here with the problem of describing the direct integral decomposition of a unitary representation obtained by restriction from a larger group. This is the dual problem to the more commonly investigated problem of decomposing induced representations. In this paper we work in the context of completely solvable Lie groups—more general than nilpotent, but less general than exponential solvable. Moreover, the groups involved are simply connected. The restriction problem was considered originally in [2] and in [6] for nilpotent groups.

AbstractLetFbe ap-adic field of characteristic 0, and letMbe anF-Levi subgroup of a connected reductiveF-split group such thatGLnifor positive integersrand ni. We prove that the Plancherel measure for any unitary supercuspidal representation ofM(F) is identically transferred underthe local Jacquet–Langlands type correspondencebetweenMand itsF-inner forms, assuming a working hypothesis that Plancherel measures are invariant on a certain set. This work extends the result of Muić and Savin (2000) for Siegel Levi subgroups of the groups SO4nand Sp4nunderthe local Jacquet–Langlands correspondence. It can be applied to a simply connected simpleF-group of typeE6orE7, and a connected reductiveF-group of typeAn,Bn,CnorDn.

Criterion for proper actions has been established for a homogeneous space of reductive type by Kobayashi (Math. Ann. 1989, 1996). On the other hand, an analogous criterion to Kobayashi’s equivalent conditions was proposed by Lipsman (1995) for a nilpotent Lie group . Lipsman's Conjecture: Let  be a simply connected nilpotent Lie group. Then the following two conditions on connected subgroups  and  are equivalent: (i) the action of  on  is proper; (ii)  is compact for any  The condition (i) is important in the study of discontinuous groups for the homogeneous space , while the second condition (ii) can easily be checked. The implication (i)  (ii) is obvious, and the opposite implication (ii)  (i) was known only in some lower dimensional cases. In this paper we prove the equivalence (i) ? (ii) for certain affine nilpotent Lie groups .
