Summary
of the project:
Dirac operators were introduced
into representation theory by Parthasarathy in the 1970s. In the 1990s, Vogan
conjectured a strengthening of Parthasarathy's Dirac inequality, which relates
the cohomology of the Dirac operator to the infinitesimal character of the
representation. This conjecture was proved in a joint paper with Huang . In
further research, in part joint with various collaborators (Barbasch, Huang,
Kang, Mehdi, Protsak, Renard, Somberg, Zhu), we related Dirac cohomology to
other kinds of cohomology, calculated it explicitly for many interesting
representations, and studied algebraic Dirac induction, a construction of
representations with given Dirac cohomology. The proposed project will continue
this research in several directions:
1)
the study of representations obtained
by Dirac induction, in particular the discrete series representations (doctoral
and postdoctoral research of Ana Prlić).
2)
applying Dirac cohomology to
problems of restricting representations. Some instances of this have been
studied with Huang-Zhu and with Somberg.
3)
trying to strengthen the Dirac
inequality, which should have implications for the study of unitary
representations (doctoral research of Karmen Grizelj). Some preliminary work
on the convex hull conjecture of Salamanca-Vogan
has been done with Renard.
4)
calculating the Dirac cohomology
of unipotent representations. Some
cases of this have been obtained jointly with Barbasch. This could lead to
better understanding of characters of unipotent representations, which is
related to the Assem conjecture. It would also be interesting to calculate the
Dirac cohomology of unitary highest weight modules.
Other topics we plan to
cover include studying translation principle for Dirac index (joint with Mehdi
and Vogan); studying n-cohomology and BGG resolutions using Penrose transforms
(joint with Souček; doctoral research of Rafael Mrđen); studying some abstract homotopy and
homology theory, with applications to tensor categories of representations
(doctoral and postdoctoral research of Matija Bašić); study of
twisted Dirac index and twisted characters (joint with Barbasch and Trapa).
