Title: Unitary representations of semisimple Lie groups and conical symplectic singularities.
Date, Time, Location: Monday, Feb. 2nd @4:40 – 5:30PM in Math Hall 520
Abstract: One of the most fundamental unsolved problems in representation theory is to classify the set of irreducible unitary representations of a semisimple Lie group. In this talk, I will define a class of such representations coming from filtered quantizations of certain graded Poisson varieties. The representations I define are expected to form the “building blocks” of all unitary representations.
