Let $G_{\\mathbb{C}}$ be the connected, simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\\mathfrak{g}$, $G_{\\mathbb{R}}$ the connected subgroup of $G_{\\mathbb{C}}$ with Lie algebra $\\mathfrak{g}_{\\mathbb{R}}$, and $G$ a covering group of $G_{\\mathbb{R}}$ with a maximal compact subgroup $K$. A complete classification of \"small\" $K$ types is derived via Clifford algebras, and an analog, $P^{\\xi}$, of Kostant's $P^{\\gamma}$ matrix is defined for a $K$ type ${\\xi}$ of principal series admitting a small $K$ type. For the connected, simply connected, split real forms of simple Lie types other than type $C_n$, a product formula for the determinant of $P^{\\xi}$ over the rank one subgroups corresponding to the positive roots is proved. We use these results to determine cyclicity of a small $K$ type of principal series in the closed Langlands chamber and irreducibility of the unitary principal series admitting a small $K$ type.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-05-05T22:25:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E46" ], "keywords": [ "representations", "principal series admitting", "maximal compact subgroup", "simple lie types", "split real forms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
