Comments welcome!", "categories": [ "math.RT" ], "abstract": "The first half of this article is expository -- I will review, with examples, the main statements of the Langlands classification and Arthur's conjectures for real reductive groups as formulated by Adams, Barbasch, and Vogan. In the second half, I will turn my attention to the Orbit Method, a conjectural scheme for classifying irreducible unitary representations of a real reductive group. I will give a definition of the Orbit Method in the case when the group is complex. The main input is the theory of unipotent ideals and Harish-Chandra bimodules, developed in arXiv:2108.03453. I will show that the Orbit Method I define is related to Arthur's conjectures via a natural duality map. Finally, I will sketch a possible generalization of this Orbit Method for arbitrary real groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-11T10:23:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "22E46" ], "keywords": [ "real reductive group", "orbit method", "arthurs conjectures", "natural duality map", "arbitrary real groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
