Harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces (43A85) Pseudodifferential operators (47G30)

Abstract: We consider pseudodifferential operators on functions on

R^{n + 1}

which commute with the Euler operator, and can thus be restricted to spaces of functions homogeneous of some given degree. Their symbols can be regarded as functions on a reduced phase space, isomorphic to the homogeneous space

G_{n} / H_{n} = S L (n + 1, R) / G L (n, R)

, and the resulting calculus is a pseudodifferential analysis of operators acting on spaces of appropriate sections of line bundles over the projective space

P_{n} (R)

: these spaces are the representation spaces of the maximal degenerate series

(p i_{i l a m b d a, e p s i l o n})

of

G_{n}

. This new approach to the quantization of

G_{n} / H_{n}

, already considered by other authors, has several advantages: as an example, it makes it possible to give a very explicit version of the continuous part from the decomposition of

L^{2} (G_{n} / H_{n})

under the quasiregular action of

G_{n}

. We also consider interesting special symbols, which arise from the consideration of the resolvents of certain infinitesimal operators of the representation

p i_{i l a m b d a, e p s i l o n}

.

Review text

The paper is devoted to harmonic analysis on the homogeneous space \(SL(n+1,{\mathbb R})/GL(n,{\mathbb R})\), in particular to the interaction between harmonic analysis and pseudodifferential analysis. Pseudodifferential operators on functions on \({\mathbb R}^{n+1}\) that commute with the Euler operator are considered. The symbols of such operators can be regarded as functions on a reduced phase space, isomorphic to the above homogeneous space. As a result one obtains a calculus of pseudodifferential operators acting on spaces of appropriate sections of line bundles over the projective space \(P_n({\mathbb R})\). This approach has several advantages. In particular, it gives an explicit version of the continuous part of the decomposition \(L^2(G_n/H_n)\) under the quasi-regular representation of \(G_n\). Moreover, one obtains interesting spacial symbols which arise from the resolvents of certain infinitesimal operators.
