Berezin transforms on the \(2\times 2\) matrix space related to the \(U(2)\times U(2)\)-action (Q1269737): Difference between revisions

The Berezin transform is an operator which links the Berezin symbols and the symbols for Toeplitz operators. Berezin transforms play an important role in the theory of quantization. A Berezin transform is defined as follows. Let \(D\) be a domain in the \(n\)-dimensional complex space \({\mathbb{C}}^n\) and let \(\mathcal H\) be a closed subspace of \(L^2(D,d\mu)\) consisting of continuous functions. The Berezin symbol \(\sigma (A)\) of a bounded operator \(A\) on \(\mathcal H\) is a function on \(D\) given by \(\sigma (A)(z)= \text{tr} (AE_z)\). The Berezin transform \(B\) associated to \(\mathcal H\) is the positive selfadjoint operator \(\sigma \sigma^*\) which is a bounded operator on \(L^2(D, d\mu _0)\), \(d\mu _0=k(z,z)d\mu\). When \(\mathcal H\) carries a unitary representation \(\pi\) of a Lie algebra \(G\) acting on \(D\), the operator \(B\) commutes with the \(G\)-action, so that obtaining the spectral decomposition of \(B\) is a problem related to the representation theory of \(G\). The aim of the present paper is to establish the spectral decomposition of the Berezin transform on the space \(\text{Mat} (2,{\mathbb{C}})\) of complex \(2\times 2\) matrices related to the two-sided action of the group \(U(2)\times U(2)\). The eigenspaces are described explicitly by means of the matrix elements of a certain real analytical finite dimensional representation of the group \(GL(2,{\mathbb{C}})\). Each eigenvalue is expressed as a finite sum involving the Meijer \(G\)-functions calculated at the point 1 and the Hahn polynomials.
