The image of the Lepowsky homomorphism for SO(n,1) and SU(n,1)

Publication date: 23 February 2011

Abstract: Let

G_{o}

be a semisimple Lie group, let

K_{o}

be a maximal compact subgroup of

G_{o}

and let

m a t h f r a k k s u b s e t m a t h f r a k g

denote the complexification of their Lie algebras. Let

G

be the adjoint group of

m a t h f r a k g

and let

K

be the connected Lie subgroup of

G

with Lie algebra

a d (m a t h f r a k k)

. If

U (m a t h f r a k g)

is the universal enveloping algebra of

m a t h f r a k g

then

U (m a t h f r a k g)^{K}

will denote the centralizer of

K

in

U (m a t h f r a k g)

. Also let

P : U (m a t h f r a k g) l o n g r i g h t a r r o w U (m a t h f r a k k) o t i m e s U (m a t h f r a k a)

be the projection map corresponding to the direct sum

associated to an Iwasawa decomposition of

G_{o}

adapted to

K_{o}

. In this paper we give a characterization of the image of

U (m a t h f r a k g)^{K}

under the injective antihomorphism

P : U (m a t h f r a k g)^{K} l o n g r i g h t a r r o w U (m a t h f r a k k)^{M} o t i m e s U (m a t h f r a k a)

, considered by Lepowsky, when

G_{o}

is locally isomorphic to F

.
