The equivalence of infinitesimal and unitary discrete decomposability
The equivalence of infinitesimal and unitary discrete decomposability
Let be a real reductive Lie group, let be a reductive subgroup, and let be an irreducible unitary representation of . Write for its restriction, and call it infinitesimally discretely decomposable when the underlying -module is discretely decomposable as a -module.
Discrete decomposability equivalence conjecture. The following two conditions on are equivalent: (i) the restriction is infinitesimally discretely decomposable; (ii) the unitary representation decomposes discretely into a direct sum of irreducible unitary representations of .
The converse implication (ii) (i) remains open, while affirmative results have been partially obtained by Duflo and Vargas for discrete series representations. Thus the equivalence is not established in general.
