On the density of twistor elementary states

From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:757656)





U(p,q) may be represented on \(H^{p-1}({\mathbb{P}}^+,{\mathcal O}(\lambda))\) where \({\mathbb{P}}^+\) is an open orbit of U(p,q) in \({\mathbb{C}}{\mathbb{P}}_{p+q- 1}\) and \(\lambda\) is a homogeneous holomorphic line bundle. Although it is not their definition, the twistor elementary states turn out to be the U(p)\(\times U(q)\)-finite vectors. We show that \(H^{p- 1}({\mathbb{P}}^+,{\mathcal O}(\lambda))\) has a natural Fréchet space topology in which these states are dense. Using this, we show that a certain Hermitian product defined on \(H^{p-1}(\overline{{\mathbb{P}}^+},{\mathcal O}(\lambda))\) is positive definite and hence complete a twistor construction of a family of unitary representations of U(p,q), namely the ladder representations. Though these representations are well-studied by other means, we feel that their realization on cohomology is especially natural and merits special investigation.
