K_highest_weights.at¶
Functions involving K-types (final tempered limit parameters) and K-highest weights. The main reference is Vogan, “Branching to a Maximal Compact Subgroup” [KHatHowe]. See also the notes on “K-types in atlas” in the Dropbox.
The main functions are:
1) highest_weights: Given a K_type tau=(x,lambda), find all K-highest weights corresponding to the K_#-types in the restriction of tau.
(x,lambda) -> {(x_K,mu)} multivalued; find one value (x_K,mu), then take the R(K)-orbit <-> |R(K)/R(K,mu)| K-highest weights. Here R(K,mu) is the stabilizer of mu in the R-group R(K) of K.
Algorithm:
i) If G is relatively split, Cartan is (relatively) split, all roots in the tau-invariant, this is the “G-spherical” case of KHatHowe, Section 8.
ii) If p is final standard limit tempered, it has a unique LKT, use theta_stable_data (see induction.at) to write p as cohomologically induced from a relatively split L.
iii.) Apply ii) to all terms of finalize(p.at_nu_0).
2) K_types: Given a KHighestWeight mu=(x,kappa), find all K_types containing the corresponding K_#-type.
(x_K,mu) -> {tau=(x,lambda)} multivalued; find \(\theta\) -stable data (Q=LU,p_L=(x_L,lambda_L,0)) for one K-type tau first, then compute all (L-spherical) \((L\cap K)\) -types p_L’=(x_L,lambda_L’) with the same infinitesimal character. There will be |R(K,mu)| of them.
Algorithm:
This is the Vogan algorithm, version in [KHatHowe] Section 13, a slight modification of Vogan’s Big Green Book Prop. 5.3.3.
Given (x_K,mu), compute mu+2rho_K(x_K), choose positive chamber for G, -> mu_0=mu+2rho_K(x_K)-rho; project on the given dominant Weyl chamber -> xi; then the simple roots contributing to difference between xi and mu_0 determine the \(\theta\) -stable parabolic Q=LU that is part of the \(\theta\) -stable data for tau=(x,lambda). The parameter for (relatively split) L is obtained from xi by a \(\rho\) -shift.
