An orbital integral formula is proven for the direct integral decomposition of an induced representation of a connected nilpotent Lie group. Previous work required simple connectivity. An explicit description of the spectral measure and spectral multiplicity function is derived in terms of orbital parameters. It is also proven that connected (but not necessarily simply connected) exponential solvable symmetric spaces are multiplicity free. Finally, the qualitative properties of the spectral multiplicity function are examined via several illuminating examples.

Restriction Problem

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we first investigate the Dirichlet problem for coupled vortex equations. Secondly, we give existence results for solutions of the coupled vortex equations on a class of complete noncompact Kähler manifolds which include simply-connected strictly negative curved manifolds, Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type and strictly pseudo-convex domains equipped with the Bergmann metric.

Oscillatory Properties

This paper concerns the determination of qualitative properties of linear vibrational systems, in particular for a single branch structure consisting of a pinned beam-rod system. First, we establish the characteristic equations satisfied by the Green’s function for this structure. The Green’s functions corresponding to support conditions where the left end of the beam was pinned-end are deduced by adopting the direct integral method. Using the theory of oscillation kernels established by Gantmakher and Krein, oscillatory properties of the Green's function for the beam-rod system are proved. Furthermore, four oscillation properties associated with frequencies and mode functions for the system are given.

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.

A compact simply connected complex homogeneous manifold is said briefly a C-space, which was completely classified by H. C. Wang [12]. A C-space is called to be Kählerian if it admits a Kählerian metric such that a group of isometries acts transitively on it. Hermitian symmetric spaces of compact type are typical examples of a Kählerian C-space. Let M be an arbitrary Kählerian C-space and R its curvature tensor. M. Itoh [6] expressed R in the language of Lie algebra and investigated various properties of R. In this paper, we study higher covariant derivatives of R.

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.

Minimal Embedding

W.Y. Hsiang, W.T. Hsiang and P. Tomter conjectured that every simply-connected, compact symmetric space of dimension ≥4 must contain some minimal hypersurfaces of sphere type. With the aid of equivariant differential geometry, they showed that this is in fact the case for many symmetric spaces of rank one and two. Let M be one of the symmetric spaces: Sn(1)×Sn(1)(n≥4), SU(6)/Sp(3), E6/F4, ℍP2 (quaternionic proj. plane) or CaP2 (Cayley proj. plane). We prove the existence of infmitely many immersed, minimal hypersurfaces of sphere type in M which are invariant under a certain group G of isometries of M. Following Hsiang and the others, the equivariant method is also used here to reduce the problem to an investigation of geodesics in M/G equipped with a metric (with singularities) depending only on the orbital geometry of the transformation group (G, M). However, our constructions are based on area minimizing homogeneous cones, corresponding to a corner singularity of M/G with the local geometry of nodal type; this can be viewed as a variation of some of their constructions which depended on some unstable minimal cones of focal type. We further apply the equivariant method to construct a minimal embedding of S1×Sn−1×Sn−1 into Sn(1)×Sn(1)(n≥2) and a minimal, embedded hypersurface of sphere type in [Formula: see text], ℍPn×ℍPn (n≥2) and CaP2×CaP2.

Abstract.We complete our recent classification (2011) of compact inner symmetric spaces with weakly complex tangent bundle by filling up a case which was left open, and extend this classification to the larger category of compact homogeneous spaces with positive Euler characteristic. We show that a simply connected compact equal rank homogeneous space has weakly complex tangent bundle if and only if it is a product of compact equal rank homogeneous spaces which either carry an invariant almost complex structure (and are classified by Hermann (1955)), or have stably trivial tangent bundle (and are classified by Singhof and Wemmer (1986)), or belong to an explicit list of weakly complex spaces which have neither stably trivial tangent bundle, nor carry invariant almost complex structures.
