Character estimates of adjoint simple Lie groups

Publication date 11 September 2014

Abstract: Call a compact, connected, simple Lie group

G

{emph{adjoint simple}} if it has trivial center. Let

C s u b s e t G

be a nontrivial conjugacy class,

e i n G

the identity element of

G

. We prove the existence of an

N i n m a t h b b N

, depending on

G

but not

C

, such that

e

lies in the interior of

C^{n}

for all

n g e q N

. We then prove that a disk

D s u b s e t m a t h b b C

of radius less than 1, contained in the unit disk

D_{1}

and tangent to

D_{1}

at

z = 1

, contains the image of every normalized character

c h i (e)^{- 1} c h i

of

G

.
