Description
I plan to discuss an application of branching laws in spectral analysis on standard locally symmetric spaces, extending beyond the classical Riemannian setting. Recent advancements have overcome challenges in global analysis with indefinite metrics, thanks to developments in the branching theory of infinite-dimensional representations of reductive groups, which are based on geometries with hidden spherical symmetries. During the lecture, I aim to highlight important, non-technical concepts.
