Componentwise and Cartesian decompositions of linear relations
Let be a, not necessarily closed, linear relation in a Hilbert space
\sH with a multivalued part \mul A. An operator in \sH with \ran
B\perp\mul A^{**} is said to be an operator part of when A=B \hplus
(\{0\}\times \mul A), where the sum is componentwise (i.e. span of the
graphs). This decomposition provides a counterpart and an extension for the
notion of closability of (unbounded) operators to the setting of linear
relations. Existence and uniqueness criteria for the existence of an operator
part are established via the so-called canonical decomposition of . In
addition, conditions are developed for the decomposition to be orthogonal
(components defined in orthogonal subspaces of the underlying space). Such
orthogonal decompositions are shown to be valid for several classes of
relations. The relation is said to have a Cartesian decomposition if
A=U+\I V, where and are symmetric relations and the sum is
operatorwise. The connection between a Cartesian decomposition of and the
real and imaginary parts of is investigated
Global analysis by hidden symmetry
Hidden symmetry of a G'-space X is defined by an extension of the G'-action
on X to that of a group G containing G' as a subgroup. In this setting, we
study the relationship between the three objects:
(A) global analysis on X by using representations of G (hidden symmetry);
(B) global analysis on X by using representations of G';
(C) branching laws of representations of G when restricted to the subgroup
G'.
We explain a trick which transfers results for finite-dimensional
representations in the compact setting to those for infinite-dimensional
representations in the noncompact setting when is -spherical.
Applications to branching problems of unitary representations, and to spectral
analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces are also discussed.Comment: Special volume in honor of Roger Howe on the occasion of his 70th
