A finitely generated group is called strongly scale-invariant if there exists an injective homomorphism such that is a finite index subgroup of and such that is finite. Nekrashevych and Pete conjectured that all strongly scale-invariant groups are virtually nilpotent, after disproving a stronger conjecture by Benjamini.
This conjecture is known to be true in some situations. Deré proved it for virtually polycyclic groups. In this paper, we provide an elementary proof for those polycyclic groups that can be written as a semi-direct product .

Expository article on semisimple Lie groups of Hermitian type and their unitary representations known as the holomorphic discrete series. The realization of the symmetric spaces associated to the groups as bounded symmetric domains is described. The representations in question are defined by holomorphic induction and realized on spaces of vector-valued holomorphic functions on the domain. A key question is whether the induction process yields a non-zero space. It is answered by Harish-Chandra’s condition, for which a complete proof is given.

We show that Griffiths’ multivariate Meixner polynomials occur as matrix coefficients of holomorphic discrete series representations of the group . Using this interpretation we derive several fundamental properties of the multivariate Meixner polynomials, such as orthogonality relations and difference equations. Furthermore, we also show that matrix coefficients for specific group elements lead to degenerate versions of the multivariate Meixner polynomials and their properties.

This paper builds on our previous work in which we showed that, for all connected semisimple linear Lie groups acting on a non-compactly causal symmetric space , every irreducible unitary representation of can be realized by boundary value maps of holomorphic extensions in distributional sections of a vector bundle over . In the present paper we discuss this procedure for the connected Lorentz group acting on de Sitter space . We show in particular that the previously constructed nets of real subspaces satisfy the locality condition. Following ideas of Bros and Moschella from the 1990’s, we show that the matrix-valued spherical function that corresponds to our extension process extends analytically to a large domain in the complexified group , which for specializes to the complex cut plane . A number of special situations is discussed specifically: (a) The case , which closely corresponds to standard subspaces in Hilbert spaces, (b) the case of scalar-valued functions, which for is the case of spherical representations, for which we also describe the jump singularities of the holomorphic extensions on the cut in de Sitter space, (c) the case , where we obtain rather explicit formulas for the matrix-valued spherical functions.

In 2004 Gerrit retired as professor of mathematics from Leiden University. In the evening there was a nice dinner party on the occasion with several speeches. As first Ph.D. student of Gerrit I was also asked to say a few words. The main point I made was that Gerrit had been for me the right man at the right time. At the end of the evening Gerrit was the last speaker. He thanked all the speakers one by one for their nice words. To me he said that I had exaggerated a little and as an independent student had found my own way. In this note I will discuss my Ph.D. period with Gerrit and maybe it will become clear why we both said what we said then.

We study the asymptotic behaviour of Bessel functions associated to root systems of type and type with positive multiplicities as the rank tends to infinity. In both cases, we characterize the possible limit functions and the Vershik–Kerov type sequences of spectral parameters for which such limits exist. In the type case, this gives a new and very natural approach to recent results by Assiotis and Najnudel in the context of -ensembles in random matrix theory. These results generalize known facts about the approximation of the positive-definite Olshanski spherical functions of the space of infinite-dimensional Hermitian matrices over (with the action of the associated infinite unitary group) by spherical functions of finite-dimensional spaces of Hermitian matrices. In the type B case, our results include asymptotic results for the spherical functions associated with the Cartan motion groups of non-compact Grassmannians as the rank goes to infinity, and a classification of the Olshanski spherical functions of the associated inductive limits.
我们研究了当阶数趋于无穷大时,与正乘数类型和类型根系统相关的贝塞尔函数的渐近行为。在这两种情况下,我们都描述了可能的极限函数以及存在这些极限的光谱参数的 Vershik-Kerov 类型序列。在类型情况下,这为阿西奥蒂斯(Assiotis)和纳吉努德尔(Najnudel)在随机矩阵理论中的-集合背景下的最新结果提供了一种新的和非常自然的方法。这些结果概括了关于用有限维赫米提矩阵空间的球形函数逼近无限维赫米提矩阵空间的正有限奥尔森斯基球形函数(具有相关无限单元群的作用)的已知事实。在 B 型情况下,我们的结果包括与非紧密格拉斯曼的 Cartan 运动群相关的球函数在秩达到无穷大时的渐近结果,以及相关归纳极限的 Olshanski 球函数的分类。
