Anomaly-free Hyperspherical Hamiltonian spaces for simple reductive groups

TL;DR
The work addresses the problem of classifying anomaly-free hyperspherical Hamiltonian spaces for simple reductive groups and identifying their conjectural duals under the BZSV duality. It develops and applies a strategy based on the BZSV quadruple framework, leveraging Levi-centralizers, spherical subgroup classifications, and multiplicity-free coisotropic representations to produce a complete Type A and Type E8 analysis, with polarized/vector-space duals and Whittaker induction extending results to general simple G. The paper provides explicit classifications and dual pairs, organized into comprehensive tables, and discusses computational tools (e.g., GAP/SLA) and conjectural mechanisms (Whittaker induction, period integrals) that connect these geometric objects with automorphic and Langlands-theoretic structures. Overall, the results establish a unified geometric framework for anomaly-free hyperspherical spaces and their duals, enabling new perspectives on period integrals and their automorphic significance, while offering a complete catalog for simple groups and a platform for future extensions to non-simple cases.
Abstract
In this paper, we provide a complete list of anomaly-free hyperspherical Hamiltonian spaces for simple reductive groups, as well as their conjectural dual spaces in the sense of BZSV duality.
