Reference request: fusion rules for unitary dual of SL(3,R)?
By the fusion rules, I mean: given two unitary irreps of the group, what unitary irreps occur in their tensor product and with what "multiplicity"? (I am guessing that direct integrals ...

What are the finite-dimensional irreducible unitary representations of $E(3)$?
Let $E(3)$ be the Euclidean group of $\mathbb{R}^3$ defined, e.g., by
$$E(3)=SO(3)\ltimes T(3)$$
where $T(3)$ is the translation group.
I am looking for a reference classifying all the finite-...

Moments of Plücker coordinates on complex Grassmannian
Consider the Grassmannian $Gr(k,N)\simeq U(N)/(U(k)\times U(N-k))$ which parametrizes $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^N$. Let us put on it the $U(N)$-invariant probability measure. Let $\...

Existence of a strongly continuous topologically irreducible representation of a compact group on an infinite dimensional Banach space?
Does there exists a triple $(G, X, \pi)$, where $G$ is a compact group, $X$ an infinite dimensional Banach space over $\mathbf{C}$, and $\pi : G \to B(X)$ a strongly continuous representation of $G$, ...

Fourier transform in the complex motion group
I am looking for a reference that deals with the unitary dual of the complex motion group $\mathbb C^2 \rtimes SU(2)$ i.e., the semi-direct product of $\mathbb C^2$ with the special unitary group $K=...

Characterization of automorphic discrete spectra
I recently learned about automorphic spectral decomposition from the book "Spectral decomposition and Eisenstein series" by Moeglin and Waldspurger. (Let me call it M-W)
I have a question ...

Plancherel formula for non-second-countable (non-unimodular) groups
The Plancherel formula for unimodular, second-countable, type 1 groups can be found in A Course in Abstract Harmonic Analysis by Gerald Folland (theorem 7.44) or here. It states that we can get a ...

Unitary representations of finite groups over finite fields
I would like to learn the basic theory of unitary representations of finite groups over finite fields.
Here, the unitary group $\operatorname{GU}(n,\mathbb{F}_{q^2})$ consists of all invertible ...

Multiplicities in Plancherel theorem for SL2(R)
The usual formulation of the Plancherel theorem one writes $f(1)$ as an integral over the dual $\widehat G$. The support of the measure is the set of representations which weakly occur in $L^2(G)$. ...

Text for studying group representations in the context of (abstract) harmonic analysis
I would like to study elements of representation theory as I often encounter it when reading texts on harmonic analysis. I was therefore curious if someone could recommend a book for this.
When ...

Explicit description of the Plancherel measure for $GL_n(\mathbb{R})$
Let $G:=\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ and $f\in C_c^\infty(G)$. One can uniquely determine the Plancherel measure $d\mu_p$ on $\hat{G}$, the unitary (actually tempered) dual of $G$, by the equation
$$f(g)...

Is a matrix element of a norm continuous representation always a trigonometric polynomial?
I asked a similar question for the case of compact groups not long ago in math.stackexchange. Now I understand that the answer was "yes", and I want to modify that question. This is also related to my ...

Decomposition of $L^2(\Gamma \backslash G)$
Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group, and $\Gamma$ be an lattice (arithmetic) - typical examples I am thinking about would be $(SL_2(\mathbb{R}), SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$, or $(SL_2(\mathbb{C}), PGL_2(O_F))$ (...

Harmonic analysis on semisimple groups - modern treatment
For my finals, I am digging through the book by Varadarajan An introduction to harmonic analysis on semisimple Lie groups. I find it a rather hard read and I feel it's a bit outdated now. Any ...
