Analysis on simple Lie groups and lattices (Q6119190)

Rank \(0\) induction in the article means to study a Lie group \(G\) through its compact subgroups. More precisely, the first step is to restrict to compact subgroups of \(G\) and do analysis there. The second step is to promote the local phenomena observed at the first step to global phenomena of \(G\) by analyzing the relative positions of the various cosets of the compact subgroups. Section 1 uses this idea to reprove that \(SL_3(\mathbb{R})\) has proper T, a celebrated theorem of Kazhdan. Section 2 uses this idea to explain why Fourier synthesis is in a way impossible for \(SL_3(\mathbb{R})\) and \(SL_3(\mathbb{Z})\). Section 3 uses the same idea to show that \(SL_3(\mathbb{R})\) and \(SL_3(\mathbb{Z})\) have \emph{strong} proper T, and describes applications of strong property T. Section 4 illustrates how much strong proper T can be proved for representations on more general Banach spaces. The final section surveys how the idea has been used for other groups.
