Kostant's canonical extension conjecture for minimal K-types
Kostant's canonical extension conjecture for minimal K-types
Let be a real reductive linear Lie group, and let be its maximal compact subgroup. Fix an Iwasawa decomposition
of , where is abelian and normalizes . Let , , and be the complexifications of , , and , respectively, and let correspond to . Let be an irreducible -module occurring as the minimal -type of a unitary representation of . Let be the wonderful compactification of . Kostant's conjecture. There exists a -equivariant vector bundle on such that:
- as -equivariant vector bundles;
- for every and every one-parameter subgroup , the limit exists in the total space of ;
- for every -equivariant vector bundle on satisfying the preceding two properties, there is a -equivariant embedding .
Kostant's question seeks a canonical algebraic extension encoding the boundary behavior of equivariant vector bundles associated with minimal -types, in connection with the asymptotic behavior of minimal -types and Casselman's theorem on -coinvariants. The source gives no resolution of the conjecture, so its status is open.
