Theorem 5.7.1. Suppose \( T \in \mathbb{D}{\left( V\right) }^{G} \) . Then there exists \( z \in Z\left( \mathfrak{g}\right) \) such that \( T = \) \( {d\tau }\left( z\right) \) . Hence \( \mathbb{D}{\left( V\right) }^{G} \) is commutative and \( \mathcal{P}\left( V\right) \) is a multiplicity-free G-module.
The theorem will follow from Theorem 4.2.13 once we show that \( \mathbb{D}{\left( V\right) }^{G} \subset \) \( {d\tau }\left( {U\left( \mathfrak{g}\right) }\right) \) . For this, we will use the tensor form of the FFT for \( G \) . If \( x \in V \) and \( \xi \in {V}^{ * } \) then\n\n\[ x = \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{i, ...

Proposition 6.1.5. Suppose \( \dim V = n \) is even. Let \( \left( {S,\gamma }\right) \) be a space of spinors for \( \left( {V,\beta }\right) \) . Then \( \left( {\operatorname{End}S,\gamma }\right) \) is a Clifford algebra for \( \left( {V,\beta }\right) \) . Thus \( \operatorname{Cliff}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \) is...

Proof. Let \( \gamma : V \rightarrow \operatorname{Cliff}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \) be the canonical map. For \( v \in {V}_{0} \) we define \( \varphi \left( v\right) = \) i \( \gamma \left( {e}_{0}\right) \gamma \left( v\right) \) .

The weights are\n\n\[ \left( {\pm...
Proof. From the definition of \( {\gamma }_{ + } \), we see that the diagonal subalgebra of \( \mathfrak{{so}}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \) has the same action as in the even-dimensional case treated in Proposition 6.2.3.

Lemma 6.3.1. Suppose \( x, y \in V \) and \( \beta \left( {x, x}\right) = \beta \left( {y, y}\right) \neq 0 \). 1. If \( x - y \) is nonisotropic, then \( {s}_{x - y}x = y \). 2. If \( x - y \) is isotropic, then \( x + y \) is nonisotropic and \( {s}_{y}{s}_{x + y}x = y \). 3. \( \mathbf{O}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \) ...
Proof. We may assume that \( \beta \left( {x, x}\right) = 1 \) . Obviously, \[ {2\beta }\left( {x, x - y}\right) = \beta \left( {x - y, x - y}\right) , \] since \( \beta \left( {x, x}\right) = \beta \left( {y, y}\right) \) . This implies (1). Now assume that \( x - y \) is isotropic. Then \[ {2\beta }\left( {x, y}\righ...

Proof. Since \( \operatorname{Spin}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \) is a subgroup of the invertible elements of \( \operatorname{Cliff}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \), we may identify \( \operatorname{Lie}\left( {\operatorname{Spin}\left( {V,\beta }\right) }\right) \) with a Lie subalgebra \( \mathfrak{g} \) of \( \operatorname...

Proof. The spin representation (when \( \dim V \) is odd) or half-spin representations (when \( \dim V \) is even) furnish the fundamental representations not obtainable from \( \bigwedge V \) (cf. Theorem 5.5.13). Every regular representation of \( \mathbf{{SO}}\left( {V,\beta }\right) \) gives a regular representatio...

Theorem 6.3.8. Let \( G \) be a connected linear algebraic group and let \( \mathfrak{g} = \operatorname{Lie}\left( G\right) \). Suppose every finite-dimensional representation of \( \mathfrak{g} \) is the differential of a regular representation of \( G \). Then \( G \) is algebraically simply connected.
Proof. Let \( \pi : H \rightarrow G \) be a covering homomorphism, where \( H \subset \mathbf{{GL}}\left( {n,\mathbb{C}}\right) \) is a connected linear algebraic subgroup. We shall use a general result about linear algebraic groups that will be proved in Chapter 11; namely, that \( H \) is a connected Lie group (Theor...

Then \( G \) is algebraically simply connected. Furthermore, for every \( \lambda \in...
Proof. We know that \( G \) is connected by Theorems 2.2.5 and 6.3.5. Let \( \mathfrak{g} = \operatorname{Lie}\left( G\right) \) . Then, by Theorem 3.3.12, every finite-dimensional representation of \( \mathfrak{g} \) is completely reducible. Hence every finite-dimensional representation of \( \mathfrak{g} \) is the di...

Lemma 6.4.1. Let \( {V}_{0} \) be an \( n \) -dimensional real subspace of \( V \) such that \( {V}_{0} \cap \mathrm{i}{V}_{0} = \) \( \{ 0\} \) . Then \( {V}_{0} \) is a real form of \( V \) .
Proof. Since \( {\dim }_{\mathbb{R}}V = {2n} \) and \( {V}_{0} \cap \mathrm{i}{V}_{0} = \{ 0\} \), one has \( {\dim }_{\mathbb{R}}\left( {{V}_{0} + \mathrm{i}{V}_{0}}\right) = {2n} \) . Thus \( V = {V}_{0} \oplus \mathrm{i}{V}_{0} \)

Theorem 7.3.6. The restriction of \( \varphi \) to \( \left( {U/T}\right) \times {T}^{\prime \prime } \) is a covering map of degree \( \left| {W}_{G}\right| \) . Furthermore, \[ {\left( {\varphi }^{ * }{\omega }_{U}\right) }_{u \cdot o, h} = {\left| {\Delta }_{G}\left( h\right) \right| }^{2}{\left( {\omega }_{T}\right...
Proof. From Lemma 7.3.4 we see that \( \mathrm{d}{\varphi }_{\left( u \cdot o, h\right) } \) is nonsingular for all \( u \in U \) and \( h \in {T}^{\prime \prime } \) . Since \( \dim \left( {U/T}\right) + \dim \left( T\right) = \dim U \), we conclude from the inverse function theorem that the restriction of \( \varphi ...

Corollary 7.3.8. The map \( \varphi : \left( {U/T}\right) \times T \rightarrow U \) is surjective. Hence every element of \( U \) is \( U \) -conjugate to an element of \( T \) .
Proof. Since \( \left( {U/T}\right) \times T \) is compact, the image of \( \varphi \) is closed in \( U \) . If it were not all of \( U \), there would be a nonzero function \( f \in C\left( U\right) \) such that \( f \geq 0 \) and \( f = 0 \) on the image of \( U \) .

Proof. Given \( z \in {Z}_{k} \) take \( \gamma \in {\mathfrak{S}}_{2k} \) as in Lemma 10.1.2. The set \( \Gamma \) of all such \( \gamma \) is then a set of representatives for the double cosets \( \tau \left( {\mathfrak{S}}_{k}\right) \smallsetminus {\mathfrak{S}}_{2k}/{\mathfrak{B}}_{k} \) .

Furthermore, the commutant of \( G \) on \( \mathcal{H}\left( {{ \otimes }^{k}V}\right) \) is \( \mathbb{C}\left\lbrack {{\sigma }_{k}...

Let \( k = \left| \lambda \right| \) and \( m = \left| {\lambda }^{\natural }\right| \) . Let \( A \) (resp. \( {A}^{\natural } \) ) be a table...
Proof. The weights \( \lambda \) and \( {\lambda }^{\natural } \) are both in \( \mathbf{A}\left( {m, n}\right) \) . Hence we can use (10.25) and the same argument as in the case of the symplectic group (Corollary 10.2.8), noting that the integers \( k \) and \( m \) have opposite parity.
