We construct examples of this phenomenon for all simply-connected simple groups of rank at least $2$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-02T10:05:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "principal series representations", "intertwining operators", "decompositions", "singularities", "construct examples" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
