Projection of Elliptic Orbits and Branching Laws
Abstract: Let $G$ be a Lie group, and $H\subset G$ a closed subgroup. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible unitary representation of $G$. In this paper, we briefly discuss the orbit method and its application to the branching problem $\pi|{H}$. We use the Gan-Gross-Prasad branching law for $(G, H)= ( U(p,q), U(p, q-1) )$ as an example to illustrate the relation between $\pro{\f u(p, q-1)}{\f u(p,q)} \mc O(\lambda)$ and the branching law of the discrete series $D_{\lambda}|_{U(p,q-1)}$ for $\lambda$ an regular elliptic element. We also discuss some results regarding branching laws and wave front sets. The presentation of this paper does not follow the historical timeline of development.
