Hermitian Symmetric Spaces of Tube Type and Multivariate Meixner-Pollaczek Polynomials

Harmonic analysis on Hermitian symmetric spaces of tube type is a natural framework for introducing multivariate Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials. Their main properties are established in this setting: generating and determinantal formulae, difference equations. As an application we consider the problem of evaluating moments related to a multivariate Barnes type integral involving the Harish-Chandra $c$-function of a symmetric cone.

Analysis of the Brylinski-Kostant model for spherical minimal representations

We revisit with another view point the construction by R. Brylinski and B. Kostant of minimal representations of simple Lie groups. We start from a pair $(V,Q)$, where $V$ is a complex vector space and $Q$ a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4 on $V$. The manifold $Ξ$ is an orbit of a covering of ${\rm Conf}(V,Q)$, the conformal group of the pair $(V,Q)$, in a finite dimensional representation space. By a generalized Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction we obtain a complex simple Lie algebra $\goth g$, and furthermore a real form ${\goth g}_{\bboard R}$. The connected and simply connected Lie group $G_{\bboard R}$ with ${\rm Lie}(G_{\bboard R})={\goth g}_{\bboard R}$ acts unitarily on a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions defined on the manifold $Ξ$

Self-adjoint extensions of operators and the teaching of quantum mechanics

For the example of the infinitely deep well potential, we point out some paradoxes which are solved by a careful analysis of what is a truly self-adjoint operator. We then describe the self-adjoint extensions and their spectra for the momentum and the Hamiltonian operators in different physical situations. Some consequences are worked out, which could lead to experimental checks.
