Characterizations of G-tube domains

Let G be a real connected Lie group for which the universal complexification G ^ℂ has a polar decomposition G ^ℂ≅G exp(i?), where ? denotes the Lie algebra of G. The present paper is concerned with Riemann G-domains over the complex group G ^ℂ viewed as a G-manifold via the left multiplication. Such a Riemann domain X is said to be of Reinhardt type if G contains a discrete cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ for whichG/Γ is a Stein manifold. Here the following is proved: Every Riemann G-domain of Reinhardt type is schlicht, hence a G-tube domain, i.e., a G-invariant subdomain of G ^ℂ. As an application one obtains conditions for a holomorphically separable G-manifold to be a G-tube domain. Received: 22 October 1998     

Nonexistence of invariant semigroups in affine symmetric spaces

Let be an affine symmetric space with a simple Lie group, an involutive automorphism of and an open subgroup of the -fixed point group . It is proved here that the existence of a proper semigroup with and implies that is of Hermitian type, as conjectured by Hilgert and Neeb [4]. When exists, it turns out that it leaves invariant an open -orbit in a minimal flag manifold of . A byproduct of our approach is an alternate proof of the maximality of the compression semigroup of an open orbit (see Hilgert and Neeb [31]).

On complex analytic compactifications of complex parallelizable manifolds

Globalizations, fiber bundles, and envelopes of holomorphy

We describe a relationship between globalizations of local holomorphic actions on Stein manifolds induced by global actions of certain non-compact Lie groups, and holomorphic fiber bundles with smooth Stein base and fiber and connected structure group. To this end we prove a univalence result for particular Stein Riemann domains with a free and properly discontinuous action of a discrete group of biholomorphisms. We then derive some consequences on the existence of Stein globalizations. Received August 11, 1998; in final form March 8, 1999

The local Rankin-Selberg convolution for GL(n): divisibility of the conductor

Let F be a non-Archimedean local field and an integer. Let be irreducible supercuspidal representations of GL with . One knows that there exists an irreducible supercuspidal representation of GL, with , such that the local constants (in the sense of Jacquet, Piatetskii-Shapiro and Shalika) are distinct. In this paper, we show that, when is an unramified twist of , one may here takem dividingn and , for a prime divisor ofn depending on and the order of : in particular, , where is the least prime divisor of . This follows from a result giving control of certain divisibility properties of the conductor of a pair of supercuspidal representations.

Classification of sequentially weakly continuous $JB^*$-triples

Let D be the open unit ball of a -triple A and let Aut(D) be the group of all biholomorphic automorphisms of D. It is shown that every element of Aut(D) is sequentially weakly continuous if and only if every primitive ideal of A is a maximal closed ideal and is a type I -triple without infinite-spin part. Implications for general structure theory are explored. In particular, it is deduced that every -triple A contains a smallest ideal J for which the sequentially weakly continuous biholomorphic automorphisms of the open unit ball of A/J are all linear.

Some equivalent definitions of high order Sobolev spaces on stratified groups and generalizations to metric spaces

Recently, in the article [LW], the authors use the notion of polynomials in metric spaces of homogeneous type (in the sense of Coifman-Weiss) to prove a relationship between high order Poincaré inequalities and representation formulas involving fractional integrals of high order, assuming only that is a doubling measure and that geodesics exist. Motivated by this and by recent work in [H], [FHK], [KS] and [FLW] about first order Sobolev spaces in metric spaces, we define Sobolev spaces of high order in such metric spaces . We prove that several definitions are equivalent if functions of polynomial type exist. In the case of stratified groups, where polynomials do exist, we show that our spaces are equivalent to the Sobolev spaces defined by Folland and Stein in [FS]. Our results also give some alternate definitions of Sobolev spaces in the classical Euclidean case. Received: 10 February 1999 / Published online: 1 February 2002     

Espace de Hardy pour les quotients Gamma backslash G

Résumé. Soit G un groupe linéaire réel simple hermitien, un sous-groupe arithmétique de covolume fini. Soit C un c?ne régulier Ad(G)-invariant dans l'algèbre de Lie de G, l'intérieur de C, et S(C)=Gexp(iC) le semi-groupe complexe d'Olshanski. L'espace de Hardy associéà ces données est l'espace des fonctions holomorphes sur , -invariantes à gauche telles qu'une certaine norme soit finie. C'est un espace de Hilbert, qui se plonge de manière isométrique dans l'espace . On donne une décomposition de l'espace de Hardy en représentations unitaires irréductibles avec des multiplicités égales à des dimensions d'espaces de formes automorphes. Les résultats les plus importants sont obtenus dans le cas de et , où l'on démontre que l'espace des vecteurs distributions des représentations de la série discrète, qui sont -invariants et qui vérifient une condition de carré intégrabilité, s'identifie à l'espace des formes modulaires paraboliques correspondant, ce qui nous permet de décrire explicitement la décomposition de l'espace de Hardy cuspidal en représentations irréductibles et d'en calculer le noyau reproduisant (appelé noyau de Cauchy-Szeg?) à l'aide des noyaux reproduisants des espaces de cusp forms. L'espace de Hardy cuspidal s'identifie au “morceau holomorphe” du spectre cuspidal .

Local isometries of function spaces

Abstract. We show that for a large class of function spaces any isometry that coincides locally with a surjective isometry must be automatically surjective. This class includes finite-codimensional subspaces of and spaces of E-valued continuous functions for finite-dimensional or uniformly convex and algebraically reflexive E.

On Pitt’s Theorem for Operators between Scalar and Vector-Valued Quasi-Banach Sequence Spaces

 We find natural conditions under which all continuous linear operators between two scalar or vector-valued quasi-Banach sequence spaces are compact. In the case of scalar-valued Banach sequence spaces we show that all such operators essentially factorize through diagonal operators between suitable -spaces.

Berezin transform on¶compact Hermitian symmetric spaces

Let X=G ^* be a compact Hermitian symmetric space. We study the Berezin transform on L ²(X) and calculate its spectrum under the decomposition of L ²(X) into the irreducible representations of G ^*. As applications we find the expansion of powers of the canonical polynomial (Bergman reproducing kernel for the canonical line bundle) in terms of the spherical polynomials on X, and we find the irreducible decomposition of tensor products of Bergman spaces on X.
