Complementary Series
In mathematics, complementary series representations of a reductive real or ''p''-adic Lie groups are certain irreducible unitary representations that are not tempered and do not appear in the decomposition of the regular representation into irreducible representations. They are rather mysterious: they do not turn up very often, and seem to exist by accident. They were sometimes overlooked, in fact, in some earlier claims to have classified the irreducible unitary representations of certain groups. Several conjectures in mathematics, such as the Selberg conjecture, are equivalent to saying that certain representations are not complementary. For examples see the representation theory of SL2(R) In mathematics, the main results concerning irreducible unitary representations of the Lie group SL(2, R) are due to Gelfand and Naimark (1946), V. Bargmann (1947), and Harish-Chandra (1952). Structure of the complexified Lie algebra We choo .... Elias M. Stein (1972) constructed ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Lie Groups
In mathematics, a Lie group (pronounced ) is a group that is also a differentiable manifold, such that group multiplication and taking inverses are both differentiable. A manifold is a space that locally resembles Euclidean space, whereas groups define the abstract concept of a binary operation along with the additional properties it must have to be thought of as a "transformation" in the abstract sense, for instance multiplication and the taking of inverses (to allow division), or equivalently, the concept of addition and subtraction. Combining these two ideas, one obtains a continuous group where multiplying points and their inverses is continuous. If the multiplication and taking of inverses are smooth (differentiable) as well, one obtains a Lie group. Lie groups provide a natural model for the concept of continuous symmetry, a celebrated example of which is the circle group. Rotating a circle is an example of a continuous symmetry. For any rotation of the circle, th ...

Unitary Representation
In mathematics, a unitary representation of a group ''G'' is a linear representation π of ''G'' on a complex Hilbert space ''V'' such that π(''g'') is a unitary operator for every ''g'' ∈ ''G''. The general theory is well-developed in the case that ''G'' is a locally compact ( Hausdorff) topological group and the representations are strongly continuous. The theory has been widely applied in quantum mechanics since the 1920s, particularly influenced by Hermann Weyl's 1928 book '' Gruppentheorie und Quantenmechanik''. One of the pioneers in constructing a general theory of unitary representations, for any group ''G'' rather than just for particular groups useful in applications, was George Mackey. Context in harmonic analysis The theory of unitary representations of topological groups is closely connected with harmonic analysis. In the case of an abelian group ''G'', a fairly complete picture of the representation theory of ''G'' is given by Pontryagin duality. In genera ...

Tempered Representation
In mathematics, a tempered representation of a linear semisimple Lie group is a representation that has a basis whose matrix coefficients lie in the L''p'' space :''L''2+ε(''G'') for any ε > 0. Formulation This condition, as just given, is slightly weaker than the condition that the matrix coefficients are square-integrable, in other words lie in :''L''2(''G''), which would be the definition of a discrete series representation. If ''G'' is a linear semisimple Lie group with a maximal compact subgroup ''K'', an admissible representation ρ of ''G'' is tempered if the above condition holds for the ''K''-finite matrix coefficients of ρ. The definition above is also used for more general groups, such as ''p''-adic Lie groups and finite central extensions of semisimple real algebraic groups. The definition of "tempered representation" makes sense for arbitrary unimodular locally compact groups, but on groups with infinite centers such as infinite central extensio ...

Regular Representation
In mathematics, and in particular the theory of group representations, the regular representation of a group ''G'' is the linear representation afforded by the group action of ''G'' on itself by translation. One distinguishes the left regular representation λ given by left translation and the right regular representation ρ given by the inverse of right translation. Finite groups For a finite group ''G'', the left regular representation λ (over a field ''K'') is a linear representation on the ''K''-vector space ''V'' freely generated by the elements of ''G'', i.e. elements of ''G'' can be identified with a basis of ''V''. Given ''g'' ∈ ''G'', λ''g'' is the linear map determined by its action on the basis by left translation by ''g'', i.e. :\lambda_:h\mapsto gh,\texth\in G. For the right regular representation ρ, an inversion must occur in order to satisfy the axioms of a representation. Specifically, given ''g'' ∈ ''G'', ρ''g'' is the linear map ...

Selberg Conjecture
In mathematics, Selberg's conjecture, also known as Selberg's eigenvalue conjecture, conjectured by , states that the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on Maass wave forms of congruence subgroups are at least 1/4. Selberg showed that the eigenvalues are at least 3/16. Subsequent works improved the bound, and the best bound currently known is 975/4096≈0.238..., due to . The generalized Ramanujan conjecture for the general linear group In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n is the set of n\times n invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication. This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again inve ... implies Selberg's conjecture. More precisely, Selberg's conjecture is essentially the generalized Ramanujan conjecture for the group GL2 over the rationals at the infinite place, and says that the component at infinity of the corresponding representation is a principal series representation of ...

Representation Theory Of SL2(R)
In mathematics, the main results concerning irreducible unitary representations of the Lie group SL(2, R) are due to Gelfand and Naimark (1946), V. Bargmann (1947), and Harish-Chandra (1952). Structure of the complexified Lie algebra We choose a basis ''H'', ''X'', ''Y'' for the complexification of the Lie algebra of SL(2, R) so that ''iH'' generates the Lie algebra of a compact Cartan subgroup ''K'' (so in particular unitary representations split as a sum of eigenspaces of ''H''), and is an sl2-triple, which means that they satisfy the relations : ,X2X, \quad ,Y-2Y, \quad ,YH. One way of doing this is as follows: :H=\begin0 & -i\\ i & 0\end corresponding to the subgroup ''K'' of matrices \begin\cos(\theta) & -\sin(\theta)\\ \sin(\theta)& \cos(\theta)\end :X=\begin1 & i\\ i & -1\end :Y=\begin1 & -i\\ -i & -1\end The Casimir operator Ω is defined to be :\Omega= H^2+1+2XY+2YX. It generates the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the complexified Lie algeb ...

Advances In Mathematics
''Advances in Mathematics'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on pure mathematics. It was established in 1961 by Gian-Carlo Rota. The journal publishes 18 issues each year, in three volumes. At the origin, the journal aimed at publishing articles addressed to a broader "mathematical community", and not only to mathematicians in the author's field. Herbert Busemann writes, in the preface of the first issue, "The need for expository articles addressing either all mathematicians or only those in somewhat related fields has long been felt, but little has been done outside of the USSR. The serial publication ''Advances in Mathematics'' was created in response to this demand." Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed in:Abstracting and Indexing
