Complex Semigroups for Oscillator Groups

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: An oscillator group G is a semidirect product of a Heisenberg group with a one-parameter group. In this article we construct Olshanski semigroups for infinite-dimensional oscillator groups. These are complex involutive semigroups which have a polar decomposition. The main application will be for representations pi of G which are semibounded, i.e., there exists a non-empty open subset U of the Lie algebra mathfrakg such that the operators idpi(x) from the derived representation are uniformly bounded from above for xinU. More precisely we show that every semibounded representation of an oscillator group G extends to a non-degenerate holomorphic representation of such a semigroup and conversely each non-degenerate holomorphic representation of such a semigroup gives rise to a semibounded representation of G. The main application of this result is a classification of representations of the canonical commutation relations with a positive Hamiltonian, which will be obtained in a subsequent paper. Moreover it yields direct integral decomposition into irreducible ones and implies the existence of a dense subspace of analytic vectors for semibounded representations of G.
