Topic: Maximal compact subgroup


  
  Maximal compact subgroup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a maximal compact subgroup K of a topological group G is a subgroup K that is a compact space, in the subspace topology, and maximal amongst such subgroups.
It is therefore a maximal subgroup amongst compact subgroups, rather than being (alternate possible reading) a maximal subgroup that happens to be compact; which would probably be called a compact maximal subgroup, but in any case is not the intended meaning.
In that case a maximal compact subgroup K must be a compact Lie group, for which the theory is easier.

 Compact group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But it is the compact Hausdorff groups, natural generalisations of finite groups with their discrete topology, that have the properties that carry over in significant fashion.
Compact groups all carry a Haar measure, which will be invariant by both left and right translation (since the modulus function must be a continuous homomorphism to the positive multiplicative reals, and so 1).
Inside a general semisimple Lie group there is a maximal compact subgroup, and the representation theory of such groups, developed largely by Harish-Chandra, uses intensively restriction to such a subgroup, and also the model of Weyl's character theory.

 Torus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This follows from the fact that the unit circle is a compact abelian Lie group (when identified with the unit complex numbers with multiplication).
This is due in part to the fact that in any compact Lie group one can always find a maximal torus; that is, a closed subgroup which is a torus of the largest possible dimension.
The classification theorem for surfaces states that every compact connected surface is either a sphere, an n-torus, or the connected sum of n projective planes.

A consequence of this is the fact that any locally compact subgroup of a Hausdorff topological group is closed.
Integration with respect to a Haar measure allows one to transfer to compact groups a significant part of the theory of representations of finite groups (for example, the orthogonality relation for characters, or for matrix entries), and also the Peter–Weyl theorem, which was first obtained for Lie groups.
The result that every locally compact subgroup has an open subgroup which is a projective limit of subgroups is due to H.

Moreover, we prove that the unrefined minimal K-types of the paired representations are related by the theta correspondence for finite reductive dual pairs when the depth is zero, and are related by the orbit correspondence when the depth is positive.
We describe on K an analog of the Bargmann-Segal "coherent state" transform, and we prove that this generalized coherent state transform maps L^2(K) isometrically onto the space of holomorphic functions in L^2(G, \mu), where G is the complexification of K and where \mu is an appropriate heat kernel measure on G.
The generalized coherent state transform is defined in terms of the heat kernel on the compact group K, and its analytic continuation to the complex group G.

The most extreme of these are, respectively, the most discrete series (in the group case called fundamental series) corresponding to the conjugacy class of Cartan subspaces with maximal compact part and the most continuous series, corresponding to the conjugacy class with maximal non-compact part.
He used this to show that all maximal compact subgroups of a real simple Lie group are conjugate.
On the other hand a maximal compact subgroup determines a Cartan involution of the real Lie group and this involution determines the real Lie group as a real form of its complexification.

Subgroup growth studies the distribution of subgroups of finite index in a group as a function of the index.
In the last two decades this topic has developed into one of the most active areas of research in infinite group theory; this book is a systematic and comprehensive account of the substantial theory which has emerged.
As well as determining the range of possible 'growth types', for finitely generated groups in general and for groups in particular classes such as linear groups, a main focus of the book is on the tight connection between the subgroup growth of a group and its algebraic structure.

Mimura 1995 \cite{mimurapaper}] Any connected Lie Group $G$ is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of a maximal compact subgroup $K$ and a subset which is homeomorphic with a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^m$: $$ G\approx K\times\mathbb{R}^m.
$$ Moreover all maximal compact subgroups are conjugate.
\end{prop} Notice that the symplectic group $Sp_n$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $\gl_n(\mathbb{H})$ and a Euclidean space is contractible, that is, homotopic to a constant mapping, hence $\pi_k(\mathbb R^m)=\mathbf{0}$ \cite[\S 1.14]{top&geo}.

Two compact Riemanian manifolds are said to be isospectral if the (multi-set of) the eigenvalues of their Laplacians are equal.
The question of finding isospectral non-isometric manifolds has a long history starting with Marc Kac's seminal paper (1966): " Can you hear the shape of a drum?" Various methods are known to construct such manifolds- the most powerful is due to Sunada.
For locally symetric manifolds M (i.e., M= D\G/K, G semisimple Lie groups, K maximal compact subgroup and D a lattice in G) all the know examples are commensurable to each other.

The action of GL(n,F) on the Grassmann variety Gr(m,n,F) induces a continuous representation of the maximal compact subgroup of GL(n,F) on the space of L^2-functions on Gr(m,n,F).
The irreducible constituents of this representation are parameterized by the same underlying set both for Archimedean and non-Archimedean fields.
