Hilbert and Fréchet bundle versions of the Harish-Chandra and Whittaker Plancherel Theorems

Nolan R. Wallach

Abstract

This paper, in particular, gives a complete proof of the direct integral version of the Whittaker Plancherel Theorem. The main emphasis is on certain Hilbert and Fréchet vector bundles over a space that has a submersion onto the tempered dual. This allows for an approach to the Plancherel Theorems (both for L^2 and the Whittaker case) that is representation theoretic, bypasses the need for Harish-Chandra's Eisenstein Integrals and yields a proof the direct integral decompositions without invoking the abstract theory.

Key Result

Proposition 1

The following are equivalent for cuspidal parabolic subgroups $P$ and $Q$. 1. $P$ and $Q$ are associate. 2. The Lie algebra of a compact Cartan subgroup of $M_{P}$ is conjugate to a Lie algebra of compact subgroup of $M_{Q}$ 3. $A_{P}$ and $A_{Q}$ are conjugate relative to $G$. 4. The Cartan subgrou
