On the classification of the $K$-type formulas for the Heisenberg ultrahyperbolic equation (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
About ten years ago, Kable constructed a one-parameter family $\square^{(n)}_s$ ($s\in \mathbb{C}$) of differential operators for $\mathfrak{sl}(n,\mathbb{C})$. He referred to $\square^{(n)}_s$ as the Heisenberg ultrahyperbolic operator. In the viewpoint of intertwining operators, $\square^{(n)}_s$ can be thought of as an intertwining differential operator between certain parabolically induced representations for $\widetilde{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$. In this talk we discuss about the classification of the $K$-type formulas of the space of $K$-finite solutions to the differential equation $\square^{(3)}_sf=0$ for $\widetilde{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ and some related topics. This is joint work with Bent {\O}rsted.

Branching problems for conformal Lie groups and orthogonal polynomials (English)
[ Abstract ]
In this talk, I will present some results obtained during my PhD about a link between branching problems for conformal Lie groups and orthogonal polynomials. More precisely, I am going to look at some examples of branching problems for representations in the scalar-valued holomorphic discrete series of some conformal Lie groups. Using the geometry of symmetric cone, I will explain how the theory of orthogonal polynomials can be related to branching problems and to the construction of symmetry breaking and holographic operators.

A Cartan decomposition for a reductive real spherical subgroup
(Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
A closed subgroup H of a real reductive Lie group G is real spherical if a minimal parabolic subgroup of G has an open orbit on G/H.
In this talk I would like to show a proof of a Cartan decomposition G=KAH when H is reductive.
This is a conjecture of T. Kobayashi, introduced in the 3rd Number Theory Summer School in 1995.

Computation of weighted Bergman norms on block diagonal matrices in bounded symmetric domains (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let $G/K\simeq D\subset\mathfrak{p}^+$ be a Hermitian symmetric space realized as a bounded symmetric domain, and we consider the weighted Bergman space $\mathcal{H}_\lambda(D)$ on $D$.
Then the norm on each $K$-type in $\mathcal{H}_\lambda(D)$ is explicitly computed by Faraut--Kor\'anyi (1990).
In this talk, we consider the cases $\mathfrak{p}^+=\operatorname{Sym}(r,\mathbb{C})$, $M(r,\mathbb{C})$, $\operatorname{Alt}(2r,\mathbb{C})$, fix $r=r'+r''$, and decompose $\mathfrak{p}^+$ into $2\times 2$ block matrices.
Then the speaker presents the results on explicit computation of the norm of $\mathcal{H}_\lambda(D)$ on each $K'$-type in the space of polynomials on the block diagonal matrices $\mathfrak{p}^+_{11}\oplus\mathfrak{p}^+_{22}$.
Also, as an application, the speaker presents the results on Plancherel-type formulas on the branching laws for symmetric pairs $(Sp(r,\mathbb{R}),U(r',r''))$, $(U(r,r),U(r',r'')\times U(r'',r'))$, $(SO^*(4r),U(2r',2r''))$.

On the support of Plancherel measures and the image of moment map
(Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
We see a relationship between the support of Plancherel measures for homogeneous spaces and the image of moment maps from cotangent bundles based on a joint work with Benjamin Harris.
Moreover, we discuss related problems and conjectures about inductions and restrictions for representations of Lie groups in general settings.

Difference between the distribution and hyperfunction solution spaces of an irregular holonomic D-module (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let M be a holonomic D-module. Then the distribution and hyperfunction solution spaces of M coincide if M is regular. However, there is a difference between them in general if M is irregular. In this talk, we explain this phenomena taking a Whittaker functional of the principal series representation of SL(2, R) as a concrete example.

Applications of uniform bounded families of g-modules to branching problems (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Using the notion of uniformly bounded families of g-modules introduced in arXiv:2109.05556, we can prove several finiteness and uniform boundedness results of multiplicities in branching laws and induced representations.
After the introduction of such results, I will explain how to obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for the uniform boundedness of multiplicities in branching laws given in arXiv:2109.05555.

Classification of type A analogues of minimal representations
(Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
If $\mathfrak{g}$ is a simple Lie algebra not of type A, the enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$ has a unique completely prime primitive ideal whose associated variety equals the closure of the minimal nilpotent orbit. The ideal is called the Joseph Ideal. An irreducible admissible representation of a simple Lie group is called minimal if the annihilator of the underlying $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$-modules is given by the Joseph ideal. Minimal representations are known to have simple $\mathfrak{k}$-type decompositions (called pencil), and a simple Lie group has at most two minimal representations up to complex conjugate. In this talk, we consider the type A analogues for the above statements.

Bounded multiplicity in the branching problems of "small" infinite-dimensional representations (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
I plan to explain a geometric criterion for the bounded multiplicity property of “small” infinite-dimensional
representations of real reductive Lie groups in branching problems.

Applying the criterion to symmetric pairs, we give a full description of the triples H ⊂ G ⊃ G' such that any irreducible admissible representations of G with H-distinguished vectors have the bounded multiplicity property when restricted to the subgroup G'.

The precise results are available in [Adv. Math. 2021, Section 7] and arXiv:2109.14424, and I plan to give some flavor.

Collapsing Ricci-flat metrics and a priori estimate for the Monge-Ampere equation
(Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Yau proved the Calabi conjecture by using a priori estimate for the Monge-Ampere equation. Recently, for a Calabi-Yau manifold with a fiber space structure, the behavior of Ricci-flat metrics collapsing to a Kahler class of the base space was studied by Gross-Tosatti-Zhang, etc. The Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of K3 surfaces to spheres obtained by a joint work with Yuji Odaka (arXiv:1810.07685) is also based on those estimates for solutions to the Monge-Ampere equation. In this talk, I would like to discuss how an estimate of solutions to differential equations deduces the existence of canonical metrics and the Gromov-
Hausdorff convergence.

On the existence of a nonzero linear period (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let $(G,H)$ be a symmetric pair $(\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{H}),\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C}))$ or $(\mathrm{GL}(2n,\mathbb{R}),\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{C}))$. It was proved by Broussous-Matringe that for an irreducible smooth admissible Fr\'{e}chet representation $\pi$ of $G$ of moderate growth, the dimension of the space of $H$-linear period of $\pi$ is not greater then one. We give some necessary condition for the existence of a nonzero $H$-linear period of $\pi$, which proves the archimedean case of a conjecture by Prasad and Takloo-Bighash. Our approach is based on the $H$-orbit decomposition of the flag variety of $G$, and homology of principal series representations. This is a joint work with Miyu Suzuki (Kanazawa University).

Compactification of locally symmetric spaces and collapsing of canonical Kahler metrics (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
The moduli spaces of Abelian varieties and K3 surfaces are known to have a structure of locally symmetric spaces. Around 1960, a finite number of compactifications of locally symmetric spaces are constructed by Ichiro Satake. In this talk, based on a joint work with Yuji Odaka (arXiv:1810:07685), we will see that one of Satake compactifications parametrizes limits of canonical (Ricci-flat) Kahler metrics on Abelian varieties and K3 surfaces.

A counterexample to a Q-series analogue of Casselman's subrepresentation theorem (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let G be a real reductive Lie group, Q a parabolic subgroup of G, and π an irreducible admissible representation of G. We say that π belongs to Q-series if it occurs as a subquotient of some degenerate principal series representation induced from Q. Then, any irreducible admissible representation belongs to P-series by Harish-Chandra’s subquotient theorem, where P is a minimal parabolic subgroup of G. On the other hand, Casselman’s subrepresentation theorem implies any representation belonging to P-series can be realized as a
subrepresentation of some principal series representation induced from P. In this talk, we discuss a counterexample to a Q-series analogue of this subrepresentation theorem. More precisely, we show that there exists an irreducible admissible representation belonging to Q-series, which can not be realized as a subrepresentation of any degenerate
principal series representation induced from Q.

Hidenori Fujiwara (Kindai University)
Polynomial conjectures for nilpotent Lie groups
(Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let G = exp g be a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group with Lie algebra g. Let H = exp h be an analytic subgroup of G with Lie algebra h and χ a unitary character of H. We consider the monomial representation τ = ind^G_H χ of G. It is well known that the multiplicities in the irreducible disintegration of τ are either uniformly bounded or uniformly equal to ∞. In the former case, we say that τ has finite multiplicities.
Now let D_τ (G/H) be the algebra of the G-invariant differential operators on the fiber bundle over G/H associated to the data (H,χ). This algebra is commutative if and only if τ has finite multiplicities. In
1992 Corwin-Greenleaf presented the following polynomial conjecture :
when τ has finite multiplicities, the algebra D_τ (G/H) is isomorphic to the algebra C[Γ_τ]^H of the H-invariant polynomial functions on the affine subspace Γ_τ = {l ∈ g^* ; l |_h = - √ -1 dχ} of g^* .

It is well known in the representation theory of groups that between the two operations of induction and restriction there is a kind of duality. So, we think about a polynomial conjecture for restrictions. Let G be as above a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group and π an irreducible unitary representation of G. Let K be an analytic subgroup of G, and we consider the restriction π|_K of π to K. This time also it is known that the multiplicities in the irreducible disintegration of π|_K are either uniformly bounded or uniformly equal to ∞. In the former case, we say that π|_K has finite multiplicities and we assume
this eventuality. Let U(g) be the enveloping algebra of g_C, and we consider the algebra (U(g)/kerπ)_K of invariant differential operators. This means the set of the K-invariant elements. This algebra is commutative if and only if π|_K has finite multiplicities. In this case, is the algebra (U(g)/kerπ)^K isomorphic to the algebra C[Ω(π)]^K of the K-invariant polynomial functions on Ω(π)? Here, Ω(π) denotes the coadjoint orbit of G corresponding to π.
We would like to prove these two polynomial conjectures.

Cartan projections of some nonreductive subgroups and the existence problem of compact Clifford-Klein forms (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let G be a reductive Lie group, H a closed subgroup of G, and Γ a discrete subgroup of G.
According to the Kobayashi-Benoist criterion, the properness of the Γ-action on G/H is determined by the Cartan projections of H and Γ.
Although the Cartan projections of nonreductive subgroups are usually difficult to compute, there are some exceptions. Using them, we give some examples of homogeneous spaces of reductive type that do not admit compact Clifford-Klein forms.

The multiplicities of stable eigenvalues on compact anti-de Sitter 3-manifolds (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
A \textit{pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric space} is the quotient manifold $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ of a semisimple symmetric space $G/H$ by a discontinuous group $\Gamma$.
Toshiyuki Kobayashi initiated the study of spectral analysis of \textit{intrinsic differential operators} (such as the Laplacian) of a pseudo-Rimannian locally symmetric space. Unlike the classical Riemannian setting,
the Laplacian of a pseudo-Rimannian locally symmetric space is no longer an elliptic differential operator.
In its spectral analysis, new phenomena different from those in the Riemannian setting have been discovered in recent years, following pioneering works by Kassel-Kobayashi.
For instance, they studied the behavior of eigenvalues of intrinsic differential operators of $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ when deforming a discontinuous group $\Gamma$. As a special case, they found infinitely many \textit{stable
eigenvalues} of the (hyperbolic) Laplacian of a compact anti-de Sitter $3$-manifold $\Gamma\backslash
\mathrm{SO}(2,2)/\mathrm{SO}(2,1)$ ([Adv.\ Math.\ 2016]).
In this talk, I would like to explain recent results about the \textit{multiplicities} of stable eigenvalues in the anti-de Sitter setting.

Masatoshi KITAGAWA (Waseda University)
On the discrete decomposability and invariants of representations of real reductive Lie groups (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
A problem to determine the behavior of the restriction of an irreducible group representation to a subgroup is called the branching problem. The restriction of an irreducible representation is not irreducible in general, and if the representation is unitary, the restriction has an irreducible decomposition described by a direct integral. The decomposition can be regarded as a generalization of spectral decomposition of unitary operators, and has continuous spectrum and discrete spectrum in general. If the decomposition has no continuous spectrum, the representation is said to be discretely decomposable.

Discretely decomposable branching laws are technically easy to deal with, and in the setting, it is relatively easy to extract information about representations of a small subgroup from that of a large group. The following applications are known. It is known that the operators, called the Rankin--Cohen brackets which make a new automorphic form from a automorphic form, can be obtained as
intertwiner from discretely decomposable representations to irreducible representations. Many generalizations of the operators are obtained recently. The discrete decomposability is used to construct discrete spectrum of the space of L^2 functions on homogeneous spaces (T. Kobayashi, J.
Funct. Anal. ('98)).

In this talk, I will give several criterion about the discrete decomposability and G'-admissibility based on the general theory and criterion given by T. Kobayashi (Invent. math. '94, Annals of Math. '98, Invent. math. '98).
The criterion are written by associated varieties (algebraic invariants), wave front sets (analytic invariants) and topological structure of representations.

Affine Yangians and rectangular W-algebras (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Motivated by the generalized AGT conjecture, in this talk I will construct surjective homomorphisms from Guay's affine Yangians to the universal enveloping algebras of rectangular W-algebras of type A.
This result is a super affine analogue of a result of Ragoucy and Sorba, which gave surjective homomorphisms from finite Yangians of type A to rectangular finite W-algebras of type A.

Computation of weighted Bergman inner products on bounded symmetric domains and restriction to subgroups (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let $D¥subset M(r,¥mathbb{C})$ be the bounded symmetric domain, and we consider the weighted Bergman space $¥mathcal{H}_¥lambda(D)$ on $D$. Then $SU(r,r)$ acts unitarily on $¥mathcal{H}_¥lambda(D)$.
In this seminar, we compute explicitly the inner products for some polynomials on $¥operatorname{Alt}(r,¥mathbb{C})$, $¥operatorname{Sym}(r,¥mathbb{C})¥subset M(r,¥mathbb{C})$, and prove that the inner products are given by multivariate hypergeometric polynomials when the polynomials are some powers of the determinants or the Pfaffians.
As an application, we present the results on the construction of symmetry breaking operators from $SU(r,r)$ to $Sp(r,¥mathbb{R})$ or $SO^*(2r)$.

Kobayashi's properness criterion and totally geodesic submanifolds in locally symmetric spaces (Japanese)
[ Abstract ]
Let G be a Lie group and X a homogeneous G-space.
A discrete subgroup of G acting on X properly is called a discontinuous group for X.
We are interested in constructions and classifications of discontinuous groups for a given X.

It is well-known that if the isotropies of G on X are compact, any closed subgroup acts on X properly.
However, the cases where the isotropies are non-compact, the same claim does not hold in general.

Let us consider the case where G is a linear reductive.
In this situation, T. Kobayashi [Math. Ann. (1989)], [J. Lie Theory (1996)] gave a criterion for the properness of the action on a homogeneous G-space X of closed subgroups in G.

In this talk, we consider homogeneous G-spaces of reductive types realized as families of totally geodesic submanifolds in non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces.
As a main result, we give a translation of Kobayashi's criterion within the framework of Riemannian geometry.
In particular, for a torsion-free discrete subgroup of G, the criterion can be stated in terms of totally geodesic submanifolds in the Riemannian locally symmetric space corresponding to the subgroup in G.

Direct inversion of the horospherical transform on Riemannian symmetric spaces (English)
