Abstract: Rapid progress has been made recently on symmetry breaking operators for real reductive groups. Based on Program A-C for branching problems (T.Kobayashi [Progr.Math.2015]), we illustrate a scheme of the classification of (local and nonlocal) symmetry breaking operators by an example of conformal representations on differential forms on the model space $(X,Y)=(S^n,S^{n-1})$, which generalizes the scalar case (Kobayashi--Speh [Memoirs of Amer.Math.Soc. 2015]) and the case of local operators (Kobayashi--Kubo--Pevzner [Lecture Notes in Math. 2016]). Some applications to automorphic form theory, motivations from conformal geometry, and the methods of proof are also discussed.

Review text

The paper under review is concerned with the so-called \textit{branching problem}, that is the problem of the restriction of representations from a group to a subgroup, mostly in the setup of real reductive Lie groups. The paper surveys some recent advances in understanding the branching problem by several examples. Special attention is payed to the question of describing the so-called \textit{symmetry breaking operators}, that is homomorphisms from the restricted representation to irreducible representations, which is especially relevant in the case of non-unitary representations. Various applications of these questions to the theory of automorphic forms are discussed. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1417.53002].
