Automorphism groups of causal Makarevich spaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Let G^ be a simple Lie group of Hermitian type and U^ be a maximal parabolic subgroup of G^ with abelian nilradical. The flag manifold M^= G^/ U^ is the Shilov
boundary of an irreducible bounded symmetric domain of tube type. M^ has the G-invariant causal structure. A causal Makarevich space is, by definition, an open symmetric G-orbit M in M^, endowed with the causal structure induced from that
of the ambient space M^, G being a reductive subgroup of G^. All symmetric cones fall in the class of causal Makarevich spaces.
In this talk, we determine the causal automorphism groups of all causal Makarevich spaces.

On endoscopy, packets, and invariants (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
The theory of endoscopy came out of the Langlands functoriality and the trace formula.
In this talk, I will briefly explain what the endoscopy is, and talk about packet, formal degree and Whittaker normalization of transfer.
I would like to talk about the connection between these topics and the endoscopy.

On the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on locally symmetric hyperbolic spaces (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A famous Theorem of Selberg says that the non-zero eigenvalues of the Laplacian acting on functions on quotients of the upper half plane H by congruence subgroups of the integral modular group, are bounded away from zero, as the congruence subgroup varies. Analogous questions on Laplacians acting on differential forms of higher degree on locally symmetric spaces (functions may be thought of as differential forms of degree zero) have geometric implications for the cohomology of the locally symmetric space.

Let $X$ be the real hyperbolic n-space and $\\Gamma \\subset $ SO(n, 1) a congruence arithmetic subgroup. Bergeron conjectured that the eigenvalues of the Laplacian acting on the differential forms on $ X / \\Gamma $ are bounded from the below by a constant independent of the congruence subgroup. In the lecture I will show how one can use representation theory to show that this conjecture is true provided that it is true in the middle degree.

This is joint work with T.N. Venkataramana

On a finite $W$-algebra module structure on the space of
continuous Whittaker vectors for an irreducible Harish-Chandra module (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group. The space of continuous Whittaker vectors for an irreducible Harish-Chandra module has a structure of a module over a finite $W$-algebra. We have seen such modules are irreducible for groups of type A. However, there is a counterexample to the naive conjecture. We discuss a refined version of the conjecture and further examples in this talk.

Restriction of Vogan-Zuckerman's derived functor modules to symmetric subgroups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
We study the restriction of Vogan-Zuckerman derived functor modules $A_\\frak{q}(\\lambda)$ to symmetric subgroups.
An algebraic condition for the discrete decomposability of
$A_\\frak{q}(\\lambda)$ was given by Kobayashi, which offers a framework for the detailed study of branching law.
In this talk, when $A_\\frak{q}(\\lambda)$ is discretely decomposable,
we construct some of irreducible components occurring in the branching law and determine their associated variety.

Proper actions of SL(2,R) on semisimple symmetric spaces (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Complex irreducible symmetric spaces which admit proper SL(2,R)-actions were classified by Katsuki Teduka.
In this talk, we generalize Teduka's method and classify semisimple symmetric spaces which admit proper SL(2,R)-actions.

Generalized hypergeometric systems (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
A new type of hypergeometric differential equations was introduced and studied by H. Sekiguchi. The investigated system of partial differential equation generalizes the Gauss-Aomoto-Gelfand system which in its turn stems from the classical set of differential relations for the solutions to a generic algebraic equation introduced by K.Mayr in 1937. Gauss-Aomoto-Gelfand systems can be expressed as the determinants of $2\\times 2$ matrices of derivations with respect to certain variables. H. Sekiguchi generalized this construction by looking at determinations of arbitrary $l\\times l$ matrices of derivations with respect to certain variables.

In this talk we study the dimension of global (and local) solutions to the generalized systems of Gauss-Aomoto-Gelfand hypergeometric systems. The main results in the talk are a combinatorial formula for the dimension of global (and local) solutions of the generalized Gauss-Aomoto-Gelfand system and a theorem on generic holonomicity of a certain class of such systems.

On the characters of tempered modules of affine Hecke
algebras of classical type
[ Abstract ]
We present an inductive algorithm to compute the characters
of tempered modules of an affine Hecke algebras of classical
types, based on a new class of representations which we call
"tempered delimits". They have some geometric origin in the
eDL correspondence.

Our new algorithm has some advantage to the Lusztig-Shoji
algorithm (which also describes the characters of tempered
modules via generalized Green functions) in the sense it
enables us to tell how the characters of tempered modules
changes as the parameters vary.

This is a joint work with Dan Ciubotaru at Utah.

Discrete groups acting on homogeneous spaces V
[ Abstract ]
I will focus on recent advances on our understanding of discrete subgroups of Lie groups.
I will first survey how ideas from semisimple algebraic groups, ergodic theory and representation theory help us to understand properties of these discrete subgroups.

I will then focus on a joint work with Jean-Francois Quint studying the dynamics of these discrete subgroups on finite volume homogeneous spaces and proving the following result:

We fix two integral matrices A and B of size d, of determinant 1, and such that no finite union of vector subspaces is invariant by A and B. We fix also an irrational point on the d-dimensional torus. We will then prove that for n large the set of images of this point by the words in A and B of length at most n becomes equidistributed in the torus.

Deformation of compact quotients of homogeneous spaces
[ Abstract ]
Let G/H be a reductive homogeneous space. In all known examples, if
G/H admits compact Clifford-Klein forms, then it admits "standard"
ones, by uniform lattices of some reductive subgroup L of G acting
properly on G/H. In order to obtain more generic Clifford-Klein forms,
we prove that for L of real rank 1, if one slightly deforms in G a
uniform lattice of L, then its action on G/H remains properly
discontinuous. As an application, we obtain compact quotients of SO(2,2n)/U(1,n) by Zariski-dense discrete subgroups of SO(2,2n) acting properly discontinuously.

既約表現の隨伴多様体は余次元1で連結か?--- 証明の破綻とその背景

[ Abstract ]

既約 Harish-Chandra $ (g, K) $ 加群の原始イデアルの隨伴多様体が既約であって、ただ一つの冪零隨伴軌道 $ O^G $ の閉包になることはよく知られている(Joseph, Borho)。
一方、HC加群の隨伴多様体は必ずしも既約でないが、その既約成分は $ O^G $ の $ K $-等質ラグランジュ部分多様体の閉包になる。
それらの既約成分は余次元1で連結であることをいくつかの集会で報告したが、その証明には初等的な誤りがあった。セミナーでは、証明の元になった Vogan の定理の紹介(もちろん間違っていない)と、それを拡張する際になぜ証明が破綻するかについてお話しする。(今のところ証明修復の目処は立っていない。)

Open Problems in Discrete Geometric Analysis
[ Abstract ]
Discrete geometric analysis is a hybrid field of several traditional disciplines: graph theory, geometry, theory of discrete groups, and probability. This field concerns solely analysis on graphs, a synonym of "1-dimensional cell complex". In this talk, I shall discuss several open problems related to the discrete Laplacian, a "protagonist" in discrete geometric analysis. Topics dealt with are 1. Ramanujan graphs, 2. Spectra of covering graphs, 3. Zeta functions of finitely generated groups.

Birational Hyperbolic Geometry
[ Abstract ]
We study compactifications for complex ball quotients.
We first recall the Satake-Bailey-Borel compactification and the Mumford resolution.
Then we discuss compactifications of ball quotients minus a totally geodesic divisor.
These compactifications turn up for a suitable class of period maps.

Hecke-Clifford superalgebras and crystals of type $D^{(2)}_{l}$
[ Abstract ]
It is known that we can sometimes describe the representation theory of ``Hecke algebra'' by ``Lie theory''. Famous examples that involve the Lie theory of type $A^{(1)}_n$ are Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon's interpretation of Kleshchev's modular branching rule for the symmetric groups and Ariki's theorem generalizing Lascoux-Leclerc-Thibon's conjecture for the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A.

Brundan and Kleshchev showed that some parts of the representation theory of the affine Hecke-Clifford superalgebras and its finite-dimensional ``cyclotomic'' quotients are controlled by the Lie theory of type $A^{(2)}_{2l}$ when the quantum parameter $q$ is a primitive $(2l+1)$-th root of unity.
In this talk, we show that similar theorems hold when $q$ is a primitive $4l$-th root of unity by replacing the Lie theory of type $A^{(2)}_{2l}$ with that of type $D^{(2)}_{l}$.

Decay of smooth vectors for regular representations
[ Abstract ]
Let $G/H$ be a homogeneous space of a Lie group, and consider the regular representation $L$ of $G$ on $E=L^p(G/H)$. A smooth vector for $L$ is a function $f$ in $E$ such that $g$ mapsto $L(g)f$ is smooth, $G$ to $E$. We investigate circumstances under which all such functions decay at infinity (jt with B. Krotz)

On the Schur-Szeg\\"o composition of polynomials
[ Abstract ]
The Schur-Szeg\\"o composition of the degree $n$ polynomials $P:=\\sum_{j=0}^na_jx^j$ and $Q:=\\sum_{j=0}^nb_jx^j$ is defined by the formula $P*Q:=\\sum_{j=0}^na_jb_jx^j/C_n^j$ where $C_n^j=n!/j!(n-j)!$. Every degree $n$ polynomial having one of its roots at $-1$ (i.e. $P=(x+1)(x^{n-1}+c_1x^{n-2}+\\cdots +c_{n-1})$) is representable as a Schur-Szeg\\"o composition of $n-1$ polynomials of the form $(x+1)^{n-1}(x+a_i)$ where the numbers $a_i$ are uniquely defined up to permutation. Denote the elementary symmetric polynomials of the numbers $a_i$ by $\\sigma_1$, $\\ldots$, $\\sigma_{n-1}$. The talk will focus on some properties of the affine mapping

$$(c_1,\\ldots ,c_{n-1})\\mapsto (\\sigma_1,\\ldots ,\\sigma_{n-1})$$

The (g,K)-module structure of principal series and related Whittaker functions of SU(2,2)

In this talk the basic object will be the principal series representataion of $SU(2, 2)$,
parabolically induced by the minimal parabolic subgroup. We discuss about the $(\\mathfrak g,K)$-module structure on that type of principal series explicitely, and provide various integral expressions of some smooth Whittaker functions with certain $K$-types.

Global geometry on locally symmetric spaces — beyond the Riemannian case
[ Abstract ]
The local to global study of geometries was a major trend of 20th century geometry, with remarkable developments achieved particularly in Riemannian geometry.
In contrast, in areas such as Lorentz geometry, familiar to us as the space-time of relativity theory, and more generally in pseudo-Riemannian geometry, as well as in various other kinds of geometry (symplectic, complex geometry, ...), surprising little is known about global properties of the geometry even if we impose a locally homogeneous structure.

In this talk, I plan to give an exposition on the recent developments on the question about the global natures of locally non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces, with emphasis on the existence problem of compact forms, rigidity and deformation.

Classification of Fuchsian systems and their connection problem
[ Abstract ]
We explain a classification of Fuchsian systems on the Riemann sphere together with Katz's middle convolution, Yokoyama's extension and their relation to a Kac-Moody root system discovered by Crawley-Boevey.
Then we present a beautifully unified connection formula for the solution of the Fuchsian ordinary differential equation without moduli and apply the formula to the harmonic analysis on a symmetric space.

消滅と剛性
[ Abstract ]
The aim of my talk is to reveal an unforeseen link between the classical vanishing theorems of Matsushima and Weil, on the one hand, and rigidity of the Weyl chamber flow, a dynamical system arising from a higher-rank noncompact Lie group, on the other.

The connection is established via "transverse extension theorems": Roughly speaking, they claim that a tangential 1- form of the orbit foliation of the Weyl chamber flow that is tangentially closed (and satisfies a certain mild additional condition) can be extended to a closed 1- form on the whole space in a canonical manner. In particular, infinitesimal rigidity of the orbit foliation of the Weyl chamber flow is proved as an application.

$\\mathbb R^n$への$\\mathbb R^2$の固有な作用と周期性
[ Abstract ]
Consider $\\R^2$ actions on $\\R^n$ which is free, affine and unipotent. Our concern here is to answer the following question:

"Does the quotient topology admits a manifold structure?"

Under some weak assumption, we classify all actions up to conjugate, and give a complete answer to the question.

If Lipsman's conjecture were true, all of the answer should be affirmative.

But, we shall find a unique action which gives a negative answer for each $n\\geq 5$. And, we also find a periodicity on such counterexamples.

As a key lemma, we use "proper analogue" of the five lemma on
exact sequence.

Liouville measures and multiplicity formulae for admissible restriction of Discrete Series
[ Abstract ]
Let $H \\subset G$ be reductive matrix Lie groups. We fix a square integrable irreducible representation $\\pi$ of $G.$
Let $\\Omega $ denote the coadjoint orbit of the Harish-Chandra parameter of $\\pi.$

Assume $\\pi$ restricted to $H$ is admissible. In joint work with Michel Duflo, by means of "discrete" and "continuos" Heaviside functions we relate the multiplicity of each irreducible $H-$factor of $\\pi$ restricted to $H$ and push forward to $\\mathfrak h^\\star$ of the Liouville measure for $\\Omega.$ This generalizes work of Duflo-Heckman-Vergne.
