Topic: Automorphic representation

  Automorphic form - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the general notion of automorphic form is the extension to analytic functions, perhaps of several complex variables, of the theory of modular forms.
The subsequent notion of automorphic representation has proved of great technical value for dealing with G an algebraic group, treated as an adelic algebraic group.
Under Poincaré's definition, an automorphic function is one which is analytic in its domain and is invariant under a denumerable infinite group of linear fractional transformations.

 Langlands program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Artin reciprocity law applies to a Galois extension of algebraic number fields whose Galois group is abelian, assigns L-functions to the one-dimensional representations of this Galois group; and states that these L-functions are identical to certain Dirichlet L-series (that is, the analogues of the Riemann zeta function constructed from Hecke characters).
Langlands attached L-functions to these automorphic representations, and conjectured that every Artin L-function arising from a finite-dimensional representation of the Galois group of a number field is equal to one arising from an automorphic cuspidal representation.
It is of the nature of an induced representation construction — what in the more traditional theory of automorphic forms had been called a 'lifting', known in special cases, and so is covariant (where a restricted representation is contravariant).

In mathematics, the general notion of automorphic form isthe extension to analytic functions, perhaps of several complex variables, of the theory of modular forms.
The formulationrequires the general notion of factor of automorphy j for Γ, which is a type of 1-cocycle in the language of group cohomology.
One way to express the shift in emphasis is that the Hecke operators are here in effect put on the same level as the Casimir operators; which is naturalfrom the point of view of functional analysis, though not soobviously for the number theory.

 Representations of Lie groups   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
A great deal is known about such representations, a basic tool in their study being the use of the corresponding 'infinitesimal' representations of Lie algebra s (indeed in the physics literature the distinction is often elided).
Formally, a representation of a Lie group ''G on a vector space V (over a field K) is a group homomorphism G →Aut(V) from G to the automorphism group of V.
A unitary representation is defined in the same way, except that G maps to unitary matrices ; the Lie algebra will then map to skew-hermitian matrices.

Representation theory is the study of the deeper aspects of symmetry.
Representation theory probes the hidden mathematical properties of symmetry in much the same way that spectroscopy analyzes hidden physical properties of light and matter.
Automorphic forms is the branch of representation theory that relates symmetry with arithmetic and number theory.

 Gelfand representation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In mathematics the Gelfand representation in functional analysis allows a complete characterisation of commutative C*-algebras as algebras of continuous complex-valued functions.
Gelfand representation theorem is one avenue in development of spectral theory for normal operators.
The Gelfand-Naimark theorem is a result for arbitrary (abstract) noncommutative C*-algebras A which though not quite analogous to Gelfand representation does provide a concrete representation A as an algebra of operators.

 [No title]
For a cuspidal representation $\pi$ of ${\rm SL}_2({\Bbb A}_E)$, we study the non-vanishing of the period integral on ${\rm SL}_2(F)\backslash {\rm SL}_2({\Bbb A}_F)$.
Finally, we construct an automorphic representation $\pi$ on ${\rm SL}_2({\Bbb A}_E)$ which is abstractly ${\rm SL}_2({\Bbb A}_F)$ distinguished but none of the elements in the global $L$-packet determined by $\pi$ is distinguished by ${\rm SL}_2({\Bbb A}_F)$.
It follows that if $\pi$ is a discrete series representation, then at most one of the representations $\pi$ and $\pi \otimes \omega$ is distinguished, where $\omega$ is an extension of the local class field theory character associated to $E/F$.

As a hint, the authors represent four continents by birth and residence.) The main theorem says that Zuckerman's "A_q(lambda)" representations are isolated in the unitary dual, with a few obvious exceptions.
The introduction to the paper (corresponding to three of the transparencies) sketches an answer to the question "what is representation theory?" that is meant to be accessible to most mathematicians.

 Robert Langlands' work - automorphics forms
Some of their consequences were explained in a graduate course given at Princeton in the spring of 1967, and then things were put in a somewhat wider context in a series of lectures at Yale later that Spring.
These two observations underline that functoriality arose in an attempt to find a nonabelian class-field theory under the influence of the view, which arose in the early sixties, that much of the theory of automorphic forms could and should be treated in the context of group representations.
The formula for Whittaker functions for unramified representations suggested in the letter was proved by Casselman and Shalika.

 Interaction of Finite Dimensional Algebras with other areas of Mathematics
Methods concerning quivers and their representations have been used in the past 30 years extensively in order to describe the structure of length categories (abelian categories where every object has a finite composition series) which arise very frequently not only in algebra, but also in geometry and analysis.
The exciting development in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras in the last 30 years was based on the use of very intricate combinatorial methods (quivers, root systems, posets, integral quadratic forms).
Though it is not a principal focus of our Workshop, the connections of representation theory as specific to Lie theory and Lie groups with the general theory of representations of finite dimensional algebras and of finite groups is always present in our thinking.

 Robert Langlands
Robert Langlands (born 1936 in Canada) is one of the most significant mathematicians of the 20th century, with profound insights in number theory and representation theory[?].
Langlands understood that the theory of automorphic forms gives a generalization of class field theory, a central topic in algebraic number theory.
Thus to every representation of a Galois group there should be associated an automorphic form.

The theory of L-functions of automorphic forms (or modular forms) via integral representations has its origin in the paper of Riemann on the zeta-function.
L-functions of automorphic representations were first developed by Jacquet and Langlands for GL(2).
In the context of automorphic representations, the Converse Theorem for GL(2) was developed by Jacquet and Langlands, extended and significantly strengthened to GL(3) by Jacquet, Piatetski-Shapiro, and Shalika, and then extended to GL(n).

 André Weil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Eventually the adelic approach became basic in automorphic representation theory.
He discovered that the so-called Weil representation, previously introduced in quantum mechanics by Irving Segal and Shale, gave a contemporary framework for understanding the classical theory of quadratic forms.
This was also a beginning of a substantial development by others, connecting representation theory and theta-functions.

The irreducible representations of a simply-connected compact Lie group are indexed by their highest weight.
Outside of Lie group theory, the term fundamental representation is sometimes loosely used to refer to a smallest-dimensional faithful representation, though this is also often called the standard or defining representation (a term referring more to the history, rather than having a well-defined mathematical meaning).
