Gelfand Pairs with Coherent States

The notion of solvable Gelfand pairs (K,N) (K is a compact Lie group acting on N, a solvable connected and simply connected Lie group) is due to Benson, Jenkins and Ratcliff. Thanks to the localization lemma, they came back to the case where K is a connected subgroup of U(n) acting on N = Hn, the 2n + 1-dimensional Heisenberg group. They gave a geometrical condition for such a pair: (K,Hn) is a Gelfand pair if and only if the intersection of each coadjoint orbit of G = K Hn with (Lie K) contains at most one integral K-orbit. Using coherent states, we define here a generating function of multiplicity m for each in K^. m is holomorphic on D(0,1), m (r) = n = 0 an rn, an and limr 1 m (r) = mtp (, W) (W is the generic representation of Hn naturally extended to K). (K,Hn) is thus a Gelfand pair if and only if limr 1 m 1. We prove here that if m is a non homogeneous function, then there is at least two K-orbits in the intersection of the generic coadjoint orbit associated to with (Lie K).     

Gelfand–Tsetlin Pattern and Strict Partitions

We give a representation-theoretical interpretation of the Gelfand–Tsetlin pattern for strict partitions. Using the Howe duality involving a pair of the queer Lie superalgebras and an analogue of the Littlewood–Richardson rule for Schur Q-functions, we show that such patterns give the branching rule for the irreducible tensor representations of the queer Lie superalgebra.
