Via Zoom | | On the Gan-Gross-Prasad conjectures for general spin groups
Melissa Emory, University of Toronto
Host: Anthony Kable
| | | Abstract: Restriction problems are one of the most natural problems
regarding representations, present from the early days of representation
theory. In general, the question is how a representation of a group
decomposes when restricted to a subgroup. In the 1990s, Benedict Gross
and Dipendra Prasad formulated an intriguing conjecture regarding the
restriction of representations, also known as branching laws, of special
orthogonal groups. Gan, Gross and Prasad extended this conjecture, now
known as the Gan-Gross-Prasad (GGP) conjecture, to the remaining classical
groups in 2012. In this talk, we will discuss the GGP conjectures and work
to extend these conjectures to a non-classical group, the general spin
group. |
