Canonical extension of Whittaker distributions for GL(n,R)
No full textThe “multiplicity one theorem” asserts that the space of Whittaker functionals on irreducible representations of GL(r, R) is at most one-dimensional. This was originally proven by Piatetski-Shapiro [10] and Shalika [11]. In [4], Kostant showed that the dimension of the space of Whittaker functionals for any principal series representation of a quasisplit linear Lie group is exactly one. We give a new proof of the existence of Whittaker functionals on the principal series representations of GL(n, R) by an explicit construction using the integration pairing of Whittaker distributions against smooth functions in the principal series representations. This pairing gives the Jacquet integral. We derive formulas for a change of variables in the integral, that enable us to compute the Jacquet integral directly by means of integration by parts and thereby prove its analytic continuation. This legitimizes the pairing of Whittaker distributions and smooth functions, hence proving the existence of Whittaker functionals.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical reference

Whittaker Limits of Difference Spherical Functions
No full textThe q-Whittaker function is introduced as a limit at t = 0 of the global q, t-spherical function, which extends the symmetric Macdonald polynomials to arbitrary eigenvalues. The limiting procedure generalizes that due to Etingof. The construction heavily depends on the technique of the q-Gaussians developed by the author (and Stokman in the non-reduced case). In this approach, the q-Whittaker function is given by a series convergent everywhere. One of the applications is a q-version of the Shintani–Casselman–Shalika formula, which is directly connected with the q, t-Mehta–Macdonald identities in terms of the Jackson integral. In type A, this formula generalizes that due to Gerasimov et al. The Harish-Chandra-type asymptotic formula is established for the global q, t-spherical functions, including the Whittaker limit
Yangians, Mirabolic Subalgebras, and Whittaker Vectors
No full textWe construct an element in a completion of the universal enveloping algebra of N, which we call the Kirillov projector, that connects the topics of the title: on the one hand, it is defined using the evaluation homomorphism from the Yangian of N, on the other hand, it gives a canonical projection onto the space of Whittaker vectors for any Whittaker module over the mirabolic subalgebra. Using the Kirillov projector, we deduce some categorical properties of Whittaker modules; for instance, we prove a mirabolic analog of Kostant's theorem. We also show that it quantizes a rational version of the Cremmer-Gervais -matrix. As an application, we construct a universal vertex-IRF transformation from the standard dynamical -matrix to this constant one in categorical terms.The author would like to thank Roman Bezrukavnikov, Pavel Etingof, Boris Feigin, Michael Finkelberg, Joel Kamnitzer, Vasily Krylov, and Leonid Rybnikov for helpful discussions and explanations, as well as the anonymous referees for their comments. The author would also like to thank the contributors of [41]; this project would not be possible without their libraries. This work was initially supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (agreement no. 075–15–2022–287); the majority of it was carried out at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The author is very grateful to the Department of Mathematics of MIT for its hospitality and for the opportunity to avoid (a form of) politically motivated persecution in Russia
Estimates on non-decaying Whittaker functions
No full textSince the Fourier coefficients of an automorphic form along the nilpotent radical of parabolic subgroup are expressed in terms of Whittaker functions, a better understanding of their growth in every direction would be useful in the study of automorphic forms. Bump and Huntley (1995) used an integral formula which was found by Vinogradov, Takhtadzhyan (1978), and Stade (1988) to obtain precise information of the spherical Whittaker functions M(ν1,ν2) (y1, y2) as both y1 and y2 → ∞. To (1995) used a method similar to the characteristic method in the theory of differential equations to compute the leading exponents of asymptotic expansions of a basis of Whittaker functions in the positive Weyl chamber for a split semi-simple Lie group over R,, which, in particular, yields a solution to Zuckerman's conjecture for SL(3, R). Templier (2015) has recently used an integral representation by Givental to show To's result: the exponential growth of M(ν1,ν2) (y1, y2) for y1, y2 ≥ 1 as either or both y1, y2 → ∞. In this thesis I use a new formula which was derived by Ishii and Stade (2007) to obtain the asymptotic expansions of M(ν1,ν2) (t,1/tp) and M(ν1,ν2)(1/tp, t) as t → ∞ where 2 ≤ p ∈ 1/2Z then successfully prove an analog of the Multiplicity One Theorem in these directions, namely that in certain circumstances the moderate growth condition in the theory of automorphic forms is automatic.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Tien Duy Trin

Whittaker Chambers: A Biography, by Sam Tanenhaus. (New York: Random House, 1997. Pp. 638. $35.00)
No full textFree-lance writer Sam Tanenhaus has made an extraordinary contribution to twentieth-century American history in his stunning new biography of Whittaker Chambers. Tanenhaus combines scholastic rigidity with his eminently readable style to create a work of the highest standard of historical biography. Whittaker Chambers emerges as a complex, enigmatic figure, misunderstood by most in his own time and by his liberal critics yet today. The author is successful in understanding and intimating the complex forces that drew Chambers to, and ultimately from, communism, and eventually toward his confrontation with Alger Hiss

Non-Archimedean Whittaker Functions as Characters: A Probabilistic Approach to the Shintani–Casselman–Shalika Formula
No full textInternational audienceLet G be reductive group over a non-Archimedean local field (e.g., GL(n)(Q(p))) and G(boolean OR)(C) its Langlands dual. Jacquet's Whittaker function on G is essentially proportional to the character of an irreducible representation of G(boolean OR)(C) (a Schur function if G = GL(n)(Q(p))). We propose a probabilistic approach to this claim, known as the Shintani-Casselman-Shalika formula, when the group G has at least one minuscule cocharacter. Thanks to random walks on the group, we start by establishing a Poisson kernel formula for the non-Archimedean Whittaker function. The expression and its ingredients are similar to the one previously obtained by the author in the Archimedean case, hence a unified point of view
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
