Unitary representations with Dirac cohomology: A finiteness result for complex Lie groups

Let G be a connected complex simple Lie group, and let {\widehat{G}^{\mathrm{d}}} be the set of all equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations with non-vanishing Dirac cohomology. We show that {\widehat{G}^{\mathrm{d}}} consists of two parts: finitely many scattered representations, and finitely many strings of representations. Moreover, the strings of {\widehat{G}^{\mathrm{d}}} come from {\widehat{L}^{\mathrm{d}}} via cohomological induction and they are all in the good range. Here L runs over the Levi factors of proper θ-stable parabolic subgroups of G. It follows that figuring out {\widehat{G}^{\mathrm{d}}} requires a finite calculation in total. As an application, we report a complete description of {\widehat{F}_{4}^{\mathrm{d}}}.

Unitary Representations with Dirac Cohomology: Finiteness in the Real Case

Let $G$ be a complex connected simple algebraic group with a fixed real form $\sigma $. Let $G({\mathbb{R}})=G^\sigma $ be the corresponding group of real points. This paper reports a finiteness theorem for the classification of irreducible unitary Harish-Chandra modules of $G({\mathbb{R}})$ (up to equivalence) having nonvanishing Dirac cohomology. Moreover, we study the distribution of the spin norm along Vogan pencils for certain $G({\mathbb{R}})$, with particular attention paid to the unitarily small convex hull introduced by Salamanca-Riba and Vogan.
