Assume that $V_\\C$ posseses a Zariski-dense orbit, so that $(G_\\C,\\rho,V_\\C)$ becomes a prehomogeneous vector space over $\\R$. We consider the left regular representation $\\pi$ of the group of $\\R$-rational points $G_\\R$ on the Banach space $\\Cvan(V_\\R)$ of continuous functions on $V_\\R$ vanishing at infinity, and study the convolution operators $\\pi(f)$, where $f$ is a rapidly decreasing function on the identity component of $G_\\R$. Denote the complement of the dense orbit by $S_\\C$, and put $S_\\R=S_\\C\\cap V_\\R$. It turns out that the restriction of $\\pi(f)$ to $V_\\R-S_\\R$ is a smooth operator. Furthermore, if $G_\\C$ is reductive, and $S_\\C$ and $S_\\R$ are irreducible hypersurfaces, $\\pi(f)$ corresponds, on each connected component of $V_\\R-S_\\R$, to a totally characteristic pseudodifferential operator. We then investigate the restriction of the Schwartz kernel of $\\pi(f)$ to the diagonal. It defines a distribution on $V_\\R-S_\\R$ given by some power $|p(m)|^s$ of a relative invariant $p(m)$ of $(G_\\C,\\rho,V_\\C)$ and, as a consequence of the fundamental theorem of prehomogeneous vector spaces, its extension to $V_\\R$, and the complex $s$-plane, satisfies functional equations. A trace of $\\pi(f)$ can then be defined by subtracting the singular contributions of the poles of the meromorphic extension.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-02-09T12:26:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47G30", "11S90", "22E46", "47D03" ], "keywords": [ "prehomogeneous vector space", "finite dimensional vector space", "satisfies functional equations", "left regular representation", "totally characteristic pseudodifferential operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......2139R" } } }
