Residue representations -- the rank one case

Abstract

With each resonance of the Laplacian acting on the compactly supported sections of a homogeneous vector bundle over a Riemannian symmetric space of the non-compact type, One can associate a residue representation. The purpose of this paper is to study them. The symmetric space is assumed to have rank-one but the irreducible representation {\tau} of K defining the vector bundle is arbitrary. We give an algorithm that aims at determining if these representations are irreducible, finding their Langlands parameters, their Gelfand-Kirillov dimensions and wave front sets. As an example, we apply this algorithm to the Laplacian of the p-forms in the cases of all the classical real rank-one Lie groups.
