This paper is loosely based on lectures given by the author at the 1998 Mentoring program for women in mathematics, IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute, and is written to complement the article ``Representations in Dolbeault cohomology'' by R. Zierau included in the same volume. It aims to review some results related to the unitary structure of some representations that occur in Dolbeault cohomology spaces. The notes consist of four lectures. In all these lectures \(G_0\) will stand for a connected semisimple (finite-dimensional, real) Lie group with Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\) and \(K_0\) for one of its maximal compact subgroups; the notation and the results of Zierau's paper are understood. Lecture 1 focuses on globalizations and Penrose transforms. A globalization of a Harish-Chandra \(({\mathfrak g},K_0)\)-module \(X\) is a certain (continuous) representation of \(G_0\) obtained from \(X\) and any globalization of \(X\) injects continuously and equivariantly into the maximal globalization [\textit{W. Schmidt}, Astérisque, Numéro hors série, 311-321 (1985; Zbl 0621.22014)]. A Penrose transform \({\mathcal P}_\chi\) is a \(G_0\)-intertwining mapping from the Dolbeault cohomology space \(H^s(G_0/L_0,{\mathcal L}_\chi)\) into the space of smooth sections \(C^\infty(G_0/K_0,{\mathcal E}_{\chi'})\), where \(L_0\) is the centralizer of a torus in \(G_0\) and \(s=\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(K_0/(L_0\cap K_0))\). It is shown to be \(G_0\)-equivariant. In Lecture 2, the author shows that, under some positivity condition, the Dolbeault cohomology space \(H^s(G_0/L_0,{\mathcal L}_\chi)\) is the maximal globalization of its underlying Harish-Chandra \(({\mathfrak g},K_0)\)-module and the Penrose transform is injective, carrying out the embedding of the module into its maximal globalization. For each \(\chi\) satisfying \(H^s(K_0/(L_0\cap K_0),{\mathcal L}_\chi)\neq 0\), the representations in Dolbeault cohomology spaces \(H^s(G_0/L_0,{\mathcal L}_\chi)\) are infinitesimally equivalent to discrete series representations if and only if \(L_0\) is compact. The goal of Lecture 3 is to present Schmid's realization of discrete series representations in \(L^2\)-cohomology spaces and to point out the difficulties that one encounters in trying to drop the assumption of compactness of \(L_0\). It is shown in Lecture 4 that the Dolbeault cohomology spaces have an Hermitian \(G_0\)-invariant form given by a simple integral formula; moreover, some results related to indefinite quantization are derived.
