Unitary representations with Dirac cohomology: finiteness in the real case

Abstract

Let $G$ be a complex connected simple algebraic group with a fixed real form $\sigma$. Let $G(\mathbb{R})=G^\sigma$ be the corresponding group of real points. This paper reports a finiteness theorem for the classification of irreducible unitary Harish-Chandra modules of $G(\mathbb{R})$ (up to equivalence) having non-vanishing Dirac cohomology. Moreover, we study the distribution of the spin norm along Vogan pencils for certain $G(\mathbb{R})$, with particular attention paid to the unitarily small convex hull introduced by Salamanca-Riba and Vogan.
