Admissible nilpotent coadjoint orbits of p-adic reductive Lie groups

From MaRDI portal





Let \(G\) be a reductive group over a local field and \({\mathfrak g}\) the Lie algebra of \(G\). Then \(G\) acts on the dual of \({\mathfrak g}\) and the orbits of this action are called the coadjoint orbits. The orbit method tries to assign to each coadjoint orbit an irreducible unitary representation of \(G\). However, it is well-known that certain orbits of \(G\) do not correspond to representations of \(G\). (A cover of \(G\) might be needed.) It is a natural question to find a set of orbits that should correspond to representations of \(G\). In the paper under review, the author defines what are admissible coadjoint orbits of nilpotent elements in the case where \(G\) is \(p\)-adic. Her definition is inspired by \textit{M. Duflo}'s definition of admissible orbits in the real case. [Constructions de représentations unitaires d'un groupe de Lie, in: Harmonic analysis and group representations, C.I.M., 129-222 (1980)]. The author's definition is very similar to a definition of \textit{P. Torasso} [Duke Math. J. 90, No. 2, 261-377 (1997)]. The author classifies the admissible orbits for classical groups and consequently deduces that the admissible orbits in these cases coincide with the special orbits defined by Lusztig and Spaltenstein.
