Let G = K ⋉ ℝn, where K is a compact connected subgroup of O(n) acting on ℝn by rotations. Let 𝔤 ⊃ 𝔨 be the respective Lie algebras of G and K, and pr : 𝔤* → 𝔨* the natural projection. For admissible coadjoint orbits [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we denote by [Formula: see text] the number of K-orbits in [Formula: see text], which is called the Corwin–Greenleaf multiplicity function. Let π ∈ Ĝ and [Formula: see text] be the unitary representations corresponding, respectively, to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by the orbit method. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between [Formula: see text] and the multiplicity m(π, τ) of τ in the restriction of π to K. If π is infinite-dimensional and the associated little group is connected, we show that [Formula: see text] if and only if m(π, τ) ≠ 0. Furthermore, for K = SO(n), n ≥ 3, we give a sufficient condition on the representations π and τ in order that [Formula: see text].

In a long sequence of notes in the Comptes Rendus and elsewhere, and in the papers [1], [2], [3], [6], [7], Lichnerowicz and his collaborators have studied the ‘classical infinite-dimensional Lie algebras’, their derivations, automorphisms, co-homology, and other properties. The most familiar of these algebras is the Lie algebra of C∞ vector fields on a C∞ manifold. Another is the Lie algebra of ‘Poisson brackets’, that is, of C∞ functions on a C∞ symplectic manifold, with the Poisson bracket as composition; some questions concerning this algebra are of considerable interest in the theory of quantization – see, for instance, [2] and [3].

Weight systems are constructed with solvable Lie algebras and their infinite dimensional representations. With a Heisenberg Lie algebra and its polynomial representations, the derived weight system vanishes on Jacobi diagrams with positive loop-degree on a circle, and it is proved that the derived knot invariant is the inverse of the Alexander-Conway polynomial.
