The evolution equations that the deformed generators of Csh(ℂ) have to satisfy are determined by the decomposition of LTZ(R) in the direct sum of an algebra of lower triangular matrices and the finite band skew hermitian matrices. This yields then the Csh(ℂ)-hierarchy. We show that the projections of a solution satisfy zero curvature relations and that it suffices to solve an associated Cauchy problem. Solutions of this type can be obtained by finding appropriate vectors in the LTZ(R)-module of oscillating matrices, the so-called wave matrices, that satisfy a set of equations in the oscillating matrices, called the linearization of the Csh(ℂ)-hierarchy. Finally, a Hilbert Lie group will be introduced from which wave matrices for the Csh(ℂ)-hierarchy are constructed. There is a real analogue of the Csh(ℂ)-hierarchy called the Cas(R)-hierarchy. It consists of a deformation of a commutative Lie algebra Cas(R) of anti-symmetric matrices. We will properly introduce it here too on the way and mention everywhere the corresponding result for this hierarchy, but we leave its proofs mostly to the reader.}, journal={Indagationes Mathematicae}, author={Helminck, Aloysius G. and Helminck, Gerardus F.}, year={2024}, month={Apr} }

Over X complex vector bundles are considered such that H acts on the fibers by a unitary representation ρ with closed image. The natural action of G on the space of square integrable sections is unitary and possesses an integral decomposition in so-called spherical distributions of class ρ. The uniqueness of this decomposition can be characterized by a number of equivalent properties. Uniqueness is shown to hold for a class of semidirect products. In the case that H is compact, the multiplicity free decomposition is shown to be equivalent with the commutativity of a suitable convolution algebra. As an example, one takes for X a symmetric k-variety $\mathcal{H}_{k}\backslash \mathcal{G}_{k}$ , with k a locally compact field of characteristic not equal to two, and for ρ a character of ℋk, whose square is trivial. Here $\mathcal{G}$ is a reductive algebraic group defined over k and ℋ is the fixed point group of an involution σ of $\mathcal{G}$ defined over k. It is shown then that the natural representation ℒ of G k on the Hilbert space $L^{2}(\mathcal{H}_{k}\backslash \mathcal{G}_{k})$ is multiplicity free if ℋ is anisotropic. Next a criterion is derived that leads to multiplicity one also in the noncompact situation. Finally, in the non-Archimedean case, a general procedure is given that might lead to showing that a pair $(\mathcal{G}_{k},\mathcal{H}_{k})$ is a generalized Gelfand pair.

As most of the work in these two cases was completed, the study of the representation theory over other fields, like local fields and finite fields, began.

This is shown to be independent of the characteristic of F and can be applied to describe all semisimple locally symmetric spaces together with their line structure. Involutorial automorphisms of g occur in several places in the literature. Cartan has already shown that for F= C, the isomorphism classes of involutorial automorphisms of g correspond bijectively to the isomorphism classes of real semisimple Lie algebras, which correspond in their turn to the isomorphism classes of Riemannian symmetric spaces (see Helgason [ 111). If one lifts this involution to the group G, then the present work gives a characteristic free description of these isomorphism classes. In a similar manner we can show that semisimple locally symmetric spaces correspond to pairs of commuting involutorial automorphisms of g. Namely let (go, a) be a semisimple locally symmetric pair; i.e., go is a real semisimple Lie algebra and rr E Aut(g,) an involution. Then by a result of Berger [2], there exists a Cartan involution 8 of go, such that 00 = ea. If we denote the complexilication of go by g, then o and 8 induce a pair of commuting involutions of g.
