Invariant eigendistributions for the symmetric pair \((\mathfrak {gl}(4,\mathbb R),\mathfrak {gl}(2,\mathbb R) \times \mathfrak {gl}(2,\mathbb R))\) (Q647573)

The authors study orbital integrals of \(C^{\infty}\) functions with compact support and invariant eigendistributions for the symmetric pair \((\mathfrak{g}, \mathfrak{h})\), where \( \mathfrak{h}= \mathfrak{gl}(4,\mathbb{R})\), \(\mathfrak {h}=\mathfrak{gl}(2,\mathbb{R})\times \mathfrak{gl}(2,\mathbb{R}) \). Set \(\mathfrak{q}= \mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}\) and let \(\mathcal{N}\) be the set of nilpotents of \(\mathfrak{q}\). An asymptotic behaviour of orbital integrals around the nonzero semisimple elements of \(\mathfrak{q}\) is obtained. Also, eigendistributions around such elements are studied and an explicit basis of eigendistributions on \(\mathfrak{q}-\mathcal{N}\) is given by locally integrable functions on \(\mathfrak{q}-\mathcal{N}\) .
