  • Cartan and Iwasawa Decompositions in Lie Theory
    CARTAN AND IWASAWA DECOMPOSITIONS IN LIE THEORY SUBHAJIT JANA Abstract. In this article we will be discussing about various decom- positions of semisimple Lie algebras, which are very important to un- derstand their structure theories. Throughout the article we will be assuming existence of a compact real form of complex semisimple Lie algebra. We will start with describing Cartan involution and Cartan de- compositions of semisimple Lie algebras. Iwasawa decompositions will also be constructed at Lie group and Lie algebra level. We will also be giving some brief description of Iwasawa of semisimple groups. 1. Introduction The idea for beginning an investigation of the structure of a general semisimple Lie group, not necessarily classical, is to look for same kind of structure in its Lie algebra. We start with a Lie algebra L of matrices and seek a decomposition into symmetric and skew-symmetric parts. To get this decomposition we often look for the occurrence of a compact Lie algebra as a real form of the complexification LC of L. If L is a real semisimple Lie algebra, then the use of a compact real form of LC leads to the construction of a 'Cartan Involution' θ of L. This involution has the property that if L = H ⊕ P is corresponding eigenspace decomposition or 'Cartan Decomposition' then, LC has a compact real form (like H ⊕iP ) which generalize decomposition of classical matrix algebra into Hermitian and skew-Hermitian parts. Similarly if G is a semisimple Lie group, then the 'Iwasawa decomposition' G = NAK exhibits closed subgroups A and N of G such that they are simply connected abelian and nilpotent respectively and A normalizes N and multiplication K ×A×N ! G is a diffeomorphism.

  • Geometry of Matrix Decompositions Seen Through Optimal Transport and Information Geometry
    Published in: Journal of Geometric Mechanics doi:10.3934/jgm.2017014 Volume 9, Number 3, September 2017 pp. 335{390 GEOMETRY OF MATRIX DECOMPOSITIONS SEEN THROUGH OPTIMAL TRANSPORT AND INFORMATION GEOMETRY Klas Modin∗ Department of Mathematical Sciences Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg SE-412 96 Gothenburg, Sweden Abstract. The space of probability densities is an infinite-dimensional Rie- mannian manifold, with Riemannian metrics in two flavors: Wasserstein and Fisher{Rao. The former is pivotal in optimal mass transport (OMT), whereas the latter occurs in information geometry|the differential geometric approach to statistics. The Riemannian structures restrict to the submanifold of multi- variate Gaussian distributions, where they induce Riemannian metrics on the space of covariance matrices. Here we give a systematic description of classical matrix decompositions (or factorizations) in terms of Riemannian geometry and compatible principal bundle structures. Both Wasserstein and Fisher{Rao geometries are discussed. The link to matrices is obtained by considering OMT and information ge- ometry in the category of linear transformations and multivariate Gaussian distributions. This way, OMT is directly related to the polar decomposition of matrices, whereas information geometry is directly related to the QR, Cholesky, spectral, and singular value decompositions. We also give a coherent descrip- tion of gradient flow equations for the various decompositions; most flows are illustrated in numerical examples. The paper is a combination of previously known and original results. As a survey it covers the Riemannian geometry of OMT and polar decomposi- tions (smooth and linear category), entropy gradient flows, and the Fisher{Rao metric and its geodesics on the statistical manifold of multivariate Gaussian distributions.

  • An Asymptotic Result on the A-Component in Iwasawa Decomposition

Let G be a real connected semisimple Lie group. For each v0, v, g ∈ G, we prove that lim [a(v0gmv)]1/m = s−1 · b(g), m→∞ where a(g) denotes the a-component in the Iwasawa decomposition of g = kan and b(g) ∈ A+ denotes the unique element that conjugate to the hyperbolic component in the complete multiplicative Jordan de- composition of g = ehu. The element s in the Weyl group of (G, A) is determined by yv ∈ G (not unique in general) in such a way that − −1 − yv ∈ N msMAN, where yhy = b(g) and G = ∪s∈W N msMAN is the Bruhat decomposition of G. 1. Introduction Given X ∈ GLn(C), the well-known QR decomposition asserts that X = QR, where Q is unitary and R is upper triangular with positive diagonal entries. The decomposition is unique. Let a(X) := diag R. Very recently it is known that [2] given A, B ∈ GLn(C), the following limit lim [a(AXmB)]1/m m→∞ exists and the limit is related to the eigenvalue moduli of X. More precisely, −1 Theorem 1.1. [2] Let A, B, X ∈ GLn(C). Let X = Y JY be the Jordan decomposition of X, where J is the Jordan form of X, diag J = diag (λ1, . , λn) satisfying |λ1| ≥ · · · ≥ |λn|.

  • Quotients of the Crown Domain by a Proper Action of a Cyclic Group
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 366, Number 6, June 2014, Pages 3227–3239 S 0002-9947(2014)06006-6 Article electronically published on February 6, 2014 QUOTIENTS OF THE CROWN DOMAIN BY A PROPER ACTION OF A CYCLIC GROUP SARA VITALI Abstract. Let G/K be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space of the non-compact type and denote by Ξ the associated crown domain. We show that for any proper action of a cyclic group Γ the quotient Ξ/ΓisStein.An analogous statement holds true for discrete nilpotent subgroups of a maximal split-solvable subgroup of G. We also show that Ξ is taut. Introduction Let G/K be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space of the non-compact type, where G is assumed to be embedded in its universal complexification GC.In [AkGi90] D. N. Akhiezer and S. G. Gindikin pointed out a distinguished invari- ant domain Ξ of GC/KC containing G/K (as a maximal totally-real submanifold) such that the extended (left) G-action on Ξ is proper. The domain Ξ, which is usually referred to as the crown domain or the Akhiezer-Gindikin domain, is Stein and Kobayashi hyperbolic by a result of D. Burns, S. Hind and S. Halverscheid ([BHH03]; cf. [Bar03], [KrSt05]). In fact G. Fels and A.T. Huckleberry ([FeHu05]) have shown that with respect to these properties it is the maximal G-invariant com- plexification of G/K in GC/KC. By using the characterization of the G-invariant, plurisubharmonic functions on Ξ given in [BHH03], here we also note that Ξ is taut (Proposition 3.4).

  • AN EXPLICIT RATIONAL STRUCTURE for REAL SEMISIMPLE LIE ALGEBRAS 3 Abelian in P [7, Pp
    AN EXPLICIT RATIONAL STRUCTURE FOR REAL SEMISIMPLE LIE ALGEBRAS HOLGER KAMMEYER Abstract. We construct a convenient basis for all real semisimple Lie algebras by means of an adapted Chevalley basis of the complexification. It determines rational and in fact half-integer structure constants which we express only in terms of the root system and the involution that defines the real structure. 1. Introduction Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra h ⊂ g and Killing form B. Denote the root system by Φ(g, h) ⊂ h∗. Given a root α ∈ Φ(g, h), let gα ⊂ g be its root space and let tα ∈ h be the corresponding root vector which 2tα is defined by B(tα,h) = α(h) for all h ∈ h. Set hα = and for a choice of B(tα,tα) simple roots ∆(g, h)= {α1,...,αl}⊂ Φ(g, h), set hi = hαi . Definition 1.1. A Chevalley basis of (g, h) is a basis C = {xα,hi : α ∈ Φ(g, h), 1 ≤ i ≤ l} of g with the following properties. (i) xα ∈ gα and [xα, x α]= −hα for each α ∈ Φ(g, h). (ii) For pairs of roots α,− β ∈ Φ(g, h) such that α + β ∈ Φ(g, h), let the constants cα,β ∈ C be determined by [xα, xβ]= cα,βxα+β. Then cα,β = c α, β. − − This definition appears in [8, p. 147]. In 1955 C. Chevalley constructed such a basis and showed that the structure constants are integers [3, Th´eor`eme 1, p. 24]. Theorem 1.2.

  • The Iwasawa Decomposition for Symmetric Spaces of Non-Compact Type
    1 The Iwasawa Decomposition for Symmetric Spaces of Non-Compact Type Let M be a symmetric space of non-compact type and denote G = Iso(M)◦. Fix p 2 M and denote K = StabG(p). Consider the map −1 σ : G ! G; g 7! spgsp ; where sp is the geodesic symmetry around p. This makes (G; K; σ) into a Riemannian-symmetric pair. We have the Cartan involution θ := Deσ : g ! g and the Cartan decomposition g = E1(θ) ⊕ E−1(θ) = k ⊕ p and consider the positive definite symmetric bilinear form hX; Y i = −Bg(X; θ(Y )): This bilinear form was the basis for our discussion of roots and root systems. Fix a maximal abelian subspace a. Recall the following definition and theorem: Definition. An element X 2 p is called regular if Z(X) \ p is abelian. Theorem. For every maximal abelian subspace a ⊂ p there exists X 2 p such that a = Z(X) \ p: In particular, X is regular. Furthermore for any two maximal abelian subspaces a; a0 ⊂ p there is k 2 K such that 0 AdG(k)(a) = a : This Theorem is proved for symmetric spaces of compact type by using that the Lie subgroup associated to a is in fact a torus and so we can find an element in p such that the geodesic in the direction of this element is dense. Then one easily sees that this element commutes with a. One then traverses to symmetric spaces of non-compact type by using the duality between symmetric spaces of compact and non-compact type.

    PSEUDO-REDUCTIVE AND QUASI-REDUCTIVE GROUPS OVER NON-ARCHIMEDEAN LOCAL FIELDS Maarten Solleveld IMAPP, Radboud Universiteit Heyendaalseweg 135, 6525AJ Nijmegen, the Netherlands email: [email protected] Abstract. Among connected linear algebraic groups, quasi-reductive groups generalize pseudo-reductive groups, which in turn form a useful relaxation of the notion of reductivity. We study quasi-reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields, focusing on aspects involving their locally compact topology. For such groups we construct valuated root data (in the sense of Bruhat– Tits) and we make them act nicely on affine buildings. We prove that they admit Iwasawa and Cartan decompositions, and we construct small compact open subgroups with an Iwahori decomposition. We also initiate the smooth representation theory of quasi-reductive groups. Among others, we show that their irreducible smooth representations are uni- formly admissible, and that all these groups are of type I. Finally we discuss how much of these results remains valid if we omit the connectedness assumption on our linear algebraic groups. Contents Introduction 2 1. Notations and preliminaries 6 2.

ON CONVEXITY, THE WEYL GROUP AND THE IWASAWA DECOMPOSITION BY BERTRAM KOSTANK*) 1. Introduction 1.1. If p is a positive definite matrix how does the spectrum of p change when p is multiplied by a unitary matrix ? C. Thompson in [14] (Theorem 1) and much earlier A. Horn in [16], proved the following theorem : Let p and q be any two positive definite n X n matrices and let Xi ^ x^ ^. .^ Xn and y^ ^ 2/2 ^. .^ yn denote the respective sets of eigenvalues. Then there exists a unitary matrix v such that pu and q have the same spectrum if and only if det p = det q and (1.1.1) x, x, ... x, ^ yi y, .

SPHERICAL FUNCTIONS AND SPECTRAL SYNTHESIS Christopher Meaney Abstract Let G be a noncompact connected semisimple real Lie group with finite centre and a maximal compact subgroup K. Suppose further that G/K has rank equal to one and dimension greater than two. Fix a polar decomposition G = KAK. We show that for every a E A, a ~ 1, the double coset KaK is not a set of synthesis for the Fourier algebra of G. This is a consequence of a local regularity property of inverse Jacobi transforms, similar to the more familiar behaviour of Hankel transforms, and is a noncompact group version of a result of Franco Cazzaniga and myself concerning Jacobi polynomials. Combining the above result with the rank-one reduction enables us to exhibit sets of nonsynthesis for some other noncompact semisimple Lie groups. A similar device applies to Cartan motion groups associated with Cartan decompositions of these groups.
