Conical Distributions on the Space of Flat Horocycles

Publication date 28 September 2010

Abstract: Let

G_{0} = K l t i m e s m a t h f r a k p

be the Cartan motion group associated with a noncompact semisimple Riemannian symmetric pair

(G, K)

. Let

f r a k a

be a maximal abelian subspace of

m a t h f r a k p

and let

p = a + q

be the corresponding orthogonal decomposition. A flat horocycle in

p

is a

G_{0}

-translate of

q

. A conical distribution on the space

X i_{0}

of flat horocycles is an eigendistribution of the algebra

m a t h b b D (X i_{0})

of

G_{0}

-invariant differential operators on

X i_{0}

which is invariant under the left action of the isotropy subgroup of

G_{0}

fixing

q

. We prove that the space of conical distributions belonging to each generic eigenspace of

m a t h b b D (X i_{0})

is one-dimensional, and we classify the set of all conical distributions on

X i_{0}

when

G / K

has rank one.
