Projective cases for the restriction of the oscillator representation to dual pairs of type I

Abstract

For all the irreducible dual pairs of type I $(G,G')$, we analyze the restriction of the oscillator representation as a $(\mathfrak{g}', K')$-module, when $G'$ is the smaller group. For all $(G,G')$ in the stable range, as well as one more case, the modules obtained are projective. We use the duality correspondence introduced by Howe to analyze these restrictions.
