Fr\'echet globalisations of Harish-Chandra supermodules

For any Lie supergroup whose underlying Lie group is reductive, we prove an extension of the Casselman-Wallach globalisation theorem: There is an equivalence between the category of Harish-Chandra modules and the category of SF-representations (smooth Fr\'echet representations of moderate growth) whose module of finite vectors is Harish-Chandra. As an application, we extend to Lie supergroups a general general form of the Gel'fand-Kazhdan criterion due to Sun-Zhu.Comment: 33 pages; final version accepted for publication in Int. Math. Res.

A convenient category of supermanifolds

With a view towards applications in the theory of infinite-dimensional representations of finite-dimensional Lie supergroups, we introduce a new category of supermanifolds. In this category, supermanifolds of `maps' and `fields' (fibre bundle sections) exist. In particular, loop supergroups can be realised globally in this framework. It also provides a convenient setting for induced representations of supergroups, allowing for a version of Frobenius reciprocity. Finally, convolution algebras of finite-dimensional Lie supergroups are introduced and applied to a prove a supergroup Dixmier-Malliavin Theorem: The space of smooth vectors of a continuous representation of a supergroup pair equals the Garding space given by the convolution with compactly supported smooth supergroup densities.Comment: 32 page

Non-Euclidean Fourier inversion on super-hyperbolic space

For the super-hyperbolic space in any dimension, we introduce the non-Euclidean Helgason--Fourier transform. We prove an inversion formula exhibiting residue contributions at the poles of the Harish-Chandra c-function, signalling discrete parts in the spectrum. The proof is based on a detailed study of the spherical superfunctions, using recursion relations and localization techniques to normalize them precisely, careful estimates of their derivatives, and a rigorous analysis of the boundary terms appearing in the polar coordinate expression of the invariant integralComment: 30 pages; final version accepted for publication in Comm.

Spherical representations of Lie supergroups

The classical Cartan-Helgason theorem characterises finite-dimensional spherical representations of reductive Lie groups in terms of their highest weights. We generalise the theorem to the case of a reductive symmetric supergroup pair $(G,K)$ of even type. Along the way, we compute the Harish-Chandra $c$-function of the symmetric superspace $G/K$. By way of an application, we show that all spherical representations are self-dual in type AIII|AIII.Comment: 37 pages; title changed; substantially revised version; accepted for publication, J.

Asymptotics of spherical superfunctions on rank one Riemannian symmetric superspaces

We compute the Harish-Chandra $c$-function for a generic class of rank-one purely non-compact Riemannian symmetric superspaces $X=G/K$ in terms of Euler $\Gamma$ functions, proving that it is meromorphic. Compared to the even case, the poles of the $c$-function are shifted into the right half-space. We derive the full asymptotic Harish-Chandra series expansion of the spherical superfunctions on $X$. In the case where the multiplicity of the simple root is an even negative number, they have a closed expression as Jacobi polynomials for an unusual choice of parameters.Comment: 41 pages; slightly expanded version; accepted for publication in Doc.

Harmonic analysis on Heisenberg--Clifford Lie supergroups

We define a Fourier transform and a convolution product for functions and distributions on Heisenberg--Clifford Lie supergroups. The Fourier transform exchanges the convolution and a pointwise product, and is an intertwining operator for the left regular representation. We generalize various classical theorems, including the Paley--Wiener--Schwartz theorem, and define a convolution Banach algebra.Comment: 28 page
