    Fock model and Segal-Bargmann transform for minimal representations of Hermitian Lie groups

    Full text link
    For any Hermitian Lie group G of tube type we construct a Fock model of its minimal representation. The Fock space is defined on the minimal nilpotent K_C-orbit X in p_C and the L^2-inner product involves a K-Bessel function as density. Here K is a maximal compact subgroup of G, and g_C=k_C+p_C is a complexified Cartan decomposition. In this realization the space of k-finite vectors consists of holomorphic polynomials on X. The reproducing kernel of the Fock space is calculated explicitly in terms of an I-Bessel function. We further find an explicit formula of a generalized Segal-Bargmann transform which intertwines the Schroedinger and Fock model. Its kernel involves the same I-Bessel function. Using the Segal--Bargmann transform we also determine the integral kernel of the unitary inversion operator in the Schroedinger model which is given by a J-Bessel function.Comment: 77page

    Models of q-algebra representations: q-integral transforms and "addition theorems''

    In his classic book on group representations and special functions Vilenkin studied the matrix elements of irreducible representations of the Euclidean and oscillator Lie algebras with respect to countable bases of eigenfunctions of the Cartan subalgebras, and he computed the summation identities for Bessel functions and Laguerre polynomials associated with the addition theorems for these matrix elements. He also studied matrix elements of the pseudo-Euclidean and pseudo-oscillator algebras with respect to the continuum bases of generalized eigenfunctions of the Cartan subalgebras of these Lie algebras and this resulted in realizations of the addition theorems for the matrix elements as integral transform identities for Bessel functions and for confluent hypergeometric functions. Here we work out q analogs of these results in which the usual exponential function mapping from the Lie algebra to the Lie group is replaced by the q-exponential mappings Eq and eq. This study of representations of the Euclidean quantum algebra and the q-oscillator algebra (not a quantum algebra) leads to summation, integral transform, and q-integral transform identities for q analogs of the Bessel and confluent hypergeometric functions, extending the results of Vilenkin for the q=1 case

    An integral containing a Bessel Function and a Modified Bessel Function of the First Kind

    Here we discuss the calculation of an integral containing the Bessel function J_0(r) and the modified Bessel function of the first kind I_1(r). The calculus is based on a function of J_0(r), I_1(r) and of their derivatives, having a Wronskian form. The method here described could be useful for training the students in the manipulation of such integrals

    The inversion formula and holomorphic extension of the minimal representation of the conformal group

    The minimal representation π\pi of the indefinite orthogonal group O(m+1,2)O(m+1,2) is realized on the Hilbert space of square integrable functions on Rm\mathbb R^m with respect to the measure x1dx1...dxm|x|^{-1} dx_1... dx_m. This article gives an explicit integral formula for the holomorphic extension of π\pi to a holomorphic semigroup of O(m+3,C)O(m+3, \mathbb C) by means of the Bessel function. Taking its `boundary value', we also find the integral kernel of the `inversion operator' corresponding to the inversion element on the Minkowski space Rm,1\mathbb R^{m,1}
