Recent advances in branching problems of representations

From MaRDI portal





The main theme of the expository paper is ``branching problems of reductive groups. The author gives a brief account of the current status of what problems have been solved and what problems remain open in the representation theory of Lie groups. He considers what the possible roles of the branching problems are in the representation theory of Lie groups. The author also discusses recent progress in two topics, namely, global analysis via representation theory and the theory of discontinuous groups. He explains their connections to the theory of branching laws.\N\NThen the author gives an overview of some of the progress in the study of branching problems over the past thirty years. First, the article introduces some nice settings where one could develop a detailed study of branching laws. The author introduces the criterion for the discrete decomposability of unitary representations and the condition that multiplicity is always finite and uniformly bounded. Second, the author describes typical examples for branching laws focusing on the following two settings: multiplicity-free cases and discretely decomposable cases. Finally, the article considers the decomposition of vectors and discusses the construction of symmetry breaking operators.
