Lecture 2: Affine Hecke algebras and harmonic analysis. Lecture 3: The spectral category and correspondences of tempered representations. Lecture 4: Example: Lusztig's unipotent representations for classical groups. Abstract: [ pdf ] Hecke algebras play an important role in the harmonic analysis of a p-adic reductive group. On the other hand, their representation theory and harmonic analysis can be described almost completely explicitly. This makes affine Hecke algebras an ideal tool to study the harmonic analysis of p-adic groups. We will illustrate this in this series of lectures by explaining how various components of the Bernstein center contribute to the level-0 L-packets of tempered representations, purely from the point of view of harmonic analysis. We define a "spectral category" of (affine) Hecke algebras. The morphisms in this category are not algebra morphisms but are affine morphisms between the associated tori of unramified characters, which are compatible with respect to the so-called Harish-Chandra μ-functions. We show that such a morphism generates a Plancherel measure preserving correspondence between the tempered spectra of the two Hecke algebras involved. We will discuss typical examples of spectral morphisms. We apply the spectral correspondences of affine Hecke algebras to level-0 representations of a quasi-split simple p-adic group. We will concentrate on the example of the special orthogonal groups SO2n+1(K). We show that all affine Hecke algebras which arise in this context admit a *unique* spectral morphism to the Iwahori-Matsumoto Hecke algebra, a remarkable phenomenon that is crucial for this method. We will recover in this way Lusztig's classification of "unipotent" representations.

We discuss about the (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. (GCOE Spring School on Representation Theory) Date: March 12-17, 2009 Place: Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo Speaker: Bernhard Krötz (Germany) Title: Harish-Chandra modules Abstract: [ pdf ] We plan to give a course on the various types of topological globalizations of Harish-Chandra modules. It is intended to cover the following topics: Topological representation theory on various types of locally convex vector spaces. Basic algebraic theory of Harish-Chandra modules Unique globalization versus lower bounds for matrix coefficients Dirac type sequences for representations Deformation theory of Harish-Chandra modules The new material presented was obtained in collaboration with Joseph Bernstein and Henrik Schlichtkrull. A first reference is the recent preprint "Smooth Frechet Globalizations of Harish-Chandra Modules" by J. Bernstein and myself, downloadable at arXiv:0812.1684v1. Speaker: Salah Mehdi (France) Title: Enright-Varadarajan modules and harmonic spinors Abstract: [ pdf ] The aim of these lectures is twofold. First we would like to describe the construction of the Enright-Varadarajan modules which provide a nice algebraic characterization of discrete series representations. This construction uses several important tools of representations theory. Then we shall use the Enright-Varadarajan modules to define a product for harmonic spinors on homogeneous spaces. Speaker: Peter Trapa (USA) Title: Special unipotent representations of real reductive groups Abstract: [ pdf ] These lectures are aimed at beginning graduate students interested in the representation theory of real Lie groups. A familiarity with the theory of compact Lie groups and the basics of Harish-Chandra modules will be assumed. The goal of the lecture series is to give an exposition (with many examples) of the algebraic and geometric theory of special unipotent representations. These representations are of considerable interest; in particular, they are predicted to be the building blocks of all representation which can contribute to spaces of automorphic forms. They admit many beautiful characterizations, but their construction and unitarizability still remain mysterious. The following topics are planned: Algebraic definition of special unipotent representations and examples. Localization and duality for Harish-Chandra modules. Geometric definition of special unipotent representations. Speaker: Roger Zierau (USA) Title: Dirac Cohomology Abstract: [ pdf ] Dirac operators have played an important role in representation theory. An early example is the construction of discrete series representations as spaces of L2 harmonic spinors on symmetric spaces G/K. More recently a very natural Dirac operator has been discovered by Kostant; it is referred to as the cubic Dirac operator. There are algebraic and geometric versions. Suppose G/H is a reductive homogeneous space and $\mathfrak g = \mathfrak h + \mathfrak q$. Let S\mathfrak q be the restriction of the spin representation of SO(\mathfrak q) to H ⊂ SO(\mathfrak q). The algebraic cubic Dirac operator is an H-homomorphism \mathcal D: V \otimes S\mathfrak q → V \otimes S\mathfrak q, where V is an $\mathfrak g$-module. The geometric geometric version is a differential operator acting on smooth sections of vector bundles of spinors on G/H. The algebraic cubic Dirac operator leads to a notion of Dirac cohomology, generalizing $\mathfrak n$-cohomology. The lectures will roughly contain the following. Construction of the spin representations of \widetilde{SO}(n). The algebraic cubic Dirac operator \mathcal D: V \otimes S\mathfrak q → V \otimes S\mathfrak q will be defined and some properties, including a formula for the square, will be given. Of special interest is the case when H=K, a maximal compact subgroup of G and V is a unitarizable $(\mathfrak g,K)$-module. This case will be discussed. The Dirac cohomology of a finite dimensional representation will be computed. We will see how this is related to $\mathfrak n$-cohomology of V. The relationship between the algebraic and geometric cubic Dirac operators will be described. A couple of open questions will then be discussed. The lectures will be fairly elementary.

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. Krötz).

Representations of classical Lie super-algebras Lecture 2. Associated varieties for Representations of classical Lie super-algebras Abstract: [ pdf ] (Lecture 1) In this lecture, I'll survey classical topics on finite dimensional representations of classical Lie super-algebras, in particular the notion of the degree of atypicality. (Lecture 2) In this lecture, I'll discuss the notion of "Associated varieties for Representations of classical Lie super-algebras (joint work with Vera Serganova)" and the relation with the degree of atypicality. This is related to a conjecture of Kac and Wakimoto.

Date: October 15 (Thu), 2009, 16:30-18:00 Place: Room 122, Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo Speaker: Shunsuke Tsuchioka (yr) (RIMS, Kyoto University) Title: Hecke-Clifford superalgebras and crystals of type $D^{(2)}_{l}$ Abstract: [ pdf ] 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 $D^{(2)}_{l}$. Date: November 4 (Wed), 2009, 16:30-18:00 Place: Room 128, Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo Speaker: Gert Heckman (IMAPP, Faculty of Science, Radboud University Nijmegen) Title: Birational hyperbolic geometry Abstract: [ pdf ] 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 (related to the lecture of the speaker on friday on "Geometric structures").

Ideas in discrete geometric analysis, developed to solve various problems in analysis on graphs, are effectively employed to give new insight to the theory which has been attracting computer scientists and physicists over the past decade. The notion of quantum walks is a gquantumh version of classical random walks, which is, as indicated by its name, closely related to quantum mechanics. Unlike the case of classical walks depending on imaginary random control by an external device such as the flip of a coin or the cast of a dice, randomness of quantum walks is directly linked to the probabilistic nature of physical states in the quantum system concerned. Though a proto-idea of quantum walks is already seen in the celebrated theory of path integrals initiated by R. P. Feynman, its intense study has rather a short history, compared with that of classical walks which has been developed and applied to various disciplines for more than a century. Indeed it is in the pioneer work by Y. Aharonov, L. Davidovich, and N. Zagury that the term gquantum (random) walkh was coined for the first time (1993). Since then, several setups for the theory have been proposed, mainly aiming at the design of fast algorithms by means of quantum computing. In this lecture, I take up the simplest formulation among them, and discuss some fundamental aspects of quantum walks. Especially, I discuss periodic quantum walks on crystal lattices, and establish local limit formulae under a certain condition. A (discrete-time) quantum walk is simply defined to be a pair (U; E) of a unitary operator U acting in a Hilbert space H and a complete orthonormal basis E = fexj x 2 V g of H, where the set of indices V is supposed to be countable. A connection with quantum mechanics is made by regarding E as the set of pure (eigen) states associated with an observable, and thinking of Unex (n 2 Z) as the time evolution of the state ex. Then the quantity pn(x; y) := jhUnex; eyij2 is the probability that the state ey is observed at time n in this evolutional system, and hence we obtain a family of probabilities (probability mass functions) fpn(x; )g1n=1 on V . This is a quantum analogue of n-step transition probability for classical walks. One of main themes in the study of quantum walks is, as in the classical case, asymptotic behaviors of pn(x; y) as n goes to infinity, which turns out to be quite a bit different from the classical case. The abstract setup above is entirely within the scope of operator theory in Hilbert spaces, thereby, at the first sight, not seeming to invent any new aspects at all. But a simple geometric view opens up new horizons, which lead us to a rich and varied theory of of quantum walks. Date: December 15 (Tue), 2009, 17:00-18:00 Place: Room 056, Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo Speaker: Toshikazu Sunada (c) (Meiji University) Title: Open Problems in Discrete Geometric Analysis Abstract: [ pdf ] 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.
