"This book contains written versions of the lectures given at the PCMI Graduate Summer School on the representation theory of Lie groups. The volume begins with lectures by A. Knapp and P. Trapa outlining the state of the subject around the year 1975, specifically, the fundament…
In this paper we introduce and study the concept of a finite length (topological) representation of a solvable type I simply connected Lie group [italic]G. In order to arrive at a satisfactory theory, it is necessary to choose very carefully the irreducible representations that …
In this paper, we study p-adic fields, symplectic groups, orthogonal groups, and the reducibility of such representations. We determine the reducibility points, give Langlands data and Jacquet modules for each of the irreducible composition factors, and describe how they are arr…
This work comprises a general study of symmetry breaking for compact Lie groups in the context of equivariant bifurcation theory. We begin by extending the theory developed by Field and Richardson for absolutely irreducible representations of finite groups to general irreducible…
First we investigate the structure of Lie algebras with invariant cones and give a characterization of those Lie algebras containing pointed and generating invariant cones. Then we study the global structure of invariant Lie semigroups, and how far Lie's third theorem remains tr…
