For a real linear algebraic group G let A(G) be the algebra of analytic vectors for the left regular representation of G on the space of superexponentially decreasing functions. We present an explicit Dirac sequence in A(G). Since A(G) acts on E for every Frechet-representation (pi,E) of moderate growth, this yields an elementary proof of a result of Nelson that the space of analytic vectors is dense in E.
We prove a myriad of results related to the stabilizer in an algebraic group $G$ of a generic vector in a representation $V$ of $G$ over an algebraically closed field $k$. Our results are on the level of group schemes, which carries more information than considering both the Lie algebra of $G$ and the group $G(k)$ of $k$-points. For $G$ simple and $V$ faithful and irreducible, we prove the existence of a stabilizer in general position, sometimes called a principal orbit type. We determine those $G$ and $V$ for which the stabilizer in general position is smooth, or $dim V/G < dim G$, or there is a $v in V$ whose stabilizer in $G$ is trivial.
We establish a categorical version of Vogan duality for quasi-split real groups. This proves a conjecture of Soergel in the quasi-split case.
The geometric Langlands correspondence for complex algebraic curves differs from the original Langlands correspondence for number fields in that it is formulated in terms of sheaves rather than functions (in the intermediate case of curves over finite fields, both formulations are possible). In a recent preprint, Robert Langlands made a proposal for developing an analytic theory of automorphic forms on the moduli space of $G$-bundles on a complex algebraic curve. Langlands envisioned these forms as eigenfunctions of some analogues of Hecke operators. In these notes I show that if $G$ is an abelian group then there are well-defined Hecke operators, and I give a complete description of their eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. For non-abelian $G$, Hecke operators involve integration, which presents some difficulties. However, there is an alternative approach to developing an analytic theory of automorphic forms, based on the existence of a large commutative algebra of global differential operators acting on half-densities on the moduli stack of $G$-bundles. This approach (which implements some ideas of Joerg Teschner) is outlined here, as a preview of a joint work with Pavel Etingof and David Kazhdan.
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 2$, let $n in mathbb Z_{>0} $, and take $G$ to be one of the classical algebraic groups $mathrm{GL}_n(k)$, $mathrm{SL}_n(k)$, $mathrm{Sp}_n(k)$, $mathrm O_n(k)$ or $mathrm{SO}_n(k)$, with $mathfrak g = operatorname{Lie} G$. We determine the maximal $G$-stable closed subvariety $mathcal V$ of the nilpotent cone $mathcal N$ of $mathfrak g$ such that the $G$-orbits in $mathcal V$ are in bijection with the $G$-orbits of $mathfrak{sl}_2$-triples $(e,h,f)$ with $e,f in mathcal V$. This result determines to what extent the theorems of Jacobson--Morozov and Kostant on $mathfrak{sl}_2$-triples hold for classical algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of ``small odd characteristic.
We prove that the closure of every Jordan class J in a semisimple simply connected complex group G at a point x with Jordan decomposition x = rv is smoothly equivalent to the union of closures of those Jordan classes in the centraliser of r that are contained in J and contain x in their closure. For x unipotent we also show that the closure of J around x is smoothly equivalent to the closure of a Jordan class in Lie(G) around exp^{-1}x. For G simple we apply these results in order to determine a (non-exhaustive) list of smooth sheets in G, the complete list of regular Jordan classes whose closure is normal and Cohen-Macaulay, and to prove that all sheets and Lusztigs strata in SL(n,C) are smooth.
