Beijing-Moscow Mathematics Colloquium (online)
Abstract
The orbit method predicts a relation between restrictions of irreducible unitary representations and projections of corresponding coadjoint orbits. In this talk we will discuss branching laws for unitary representations of Spin(N,1) restricted to parabolic subgroups and the corresponding orbit geometry. In particular, we confirm Duflo's conjecture in this setting. This is a joint work with Gang Liu (Lorraine) and Yoshiki Oshima (Osaka).
