The wave front set correspondence for dual pairs with one member compact

Abstract: Let W be a real symplectic space and (G,G') an irreducible dual pair in Sp(W), in the sense of Howe, with G compact. Let

w i d e t i l d e m a t h r m G

be the preimage of G in the metaplectic group

w i d e t i l d e m a t h r m S p (m a t h r m W)

. Given an irreducible unitary representation

P i

of

w i d e t i l d e m a t h r m G

that occurs in the restriction of the Weil representation to

w i d e t i l d e m a t h r m G

, let

T h e t a_{P} i

denote its character. We prove that, for the embedding

T

of

w i d e t i l d e m a t h r m S p (m a t h r m W)

in the space of tempered distributions on W given by the Weil representation, the distribution

T (c h e c k T h e t a_{P} i)

has an asymptotic limit. This limit is an orbital integral over a nilpotent orbit

m a t h c a l O_{m} s u b s e t e q m a t h r m W

. The closure of the image of

m a t h c a l O_{m}

in

m a t h f r a k g^{'}

under the moment map is the wave front set of

P i^{'}

, the representation of

w i d e t i l d e m a t h r m G^{'}

dual to

P i

.
