Let $\\operatorname{supp} L^2(G/H)$ be the set of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ contributing to the decomposition of $L^2(G/H)$, namely the support of the Plancherel measure. In this paper, we will relate $\\operatorname{supp} L^2(G/H)$ with the image of moment map from the cotangent bundle $T^*(G/H)\\to \\mathfrak{g}^*$. For the homogeneous space $X=G/H$, we attach a complex Levi subgroup $L_X$ of the complexification of $G$ and we show that in some sense \"most\" of representations in $\\operatorname{supp} L^2(G/H)$ are obtained as quantizations of coadjoint orbits $\\mathcal{O}$ such that $\\mathcal{O}\\simeq G/L$ and that the complexification of $L$ is conjugate to $L_X$. Moreover, the union of such coadjoint orbits $\\mathcal{O}$ coincides asymptotically with the moment map image. As a corollary, we show that $L^2(G/H)$ has a discrete series if the moment map image contains a nonempty subset of elliptic elements.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-01-27T03:07:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "plancherel measure", "homogeneous space", "asymptotic support", "coadjoint orbits", "moment map image contains" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 57, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
