1 Introduction
The purpose of this article is to extend my work on smooth Fréchet globalizations of Harish-Chandra modules to include parameters. In [BK] it is asserted that their work carries that goal out. This may be so, but non-linear groups do not appear in [BK] (e.g. the metaplectic group). In this paper a different tactic is taken to this problem. We approach it from the perspective of the excellent thesis of Vincent van der Noort who studies the question: Given an analytic family of Harish-Chandra modules, how does the corresponding family of CW completions depend on the parameter? The CW completion was first realized in terms of imbedding into parabolically induced representations. This paper considers another class of Harish-Chandra modules that were first studied in a special case in [HOW]. For lack of a name they were called J–modules. These Harish-Chandra modules are constructed using a free subalgebra of the center of the enveloping algebra generated by the split rank number of independent elements that was first studied in [HOW]. This algebra is denoted in this paper. In the category of Harish-Chandra modules with action by a fixed character the J–modules in the category are projective. Furthermore, every Harish-Chandra module has a resolution by J–modules. Much of the paper, involves analyzing the CW globalizations of families of J–modules using a key results of van der Noort, which also play an important role in other aspects of the paper. For the sake of completeness a complete proof of these results is included.
In van der Noort’s thesis the parametrization studied were holomorphic and results were proved about holomorphic dependence of CW globalizations. He essentially solved the problem in the case when the parameter space is one complex dimension modulo the possible necessity to go to a branched covering. In this paper I prove that if the dependence of the Harish-Chandra modules in the parameters is real analytic then the dependence of the CW completion is continuous (Corollary 41).
The final two sections of the paper give a proof of the meromorphic continuation of Eisenstein series using the continuation of –finite Eisenstein series in Langlands [L2], Chapter 7. This is done by reducing the problem to a general result on the holomorphic dependence of the extensions of what we call linear functionals of locally uniform moderate growth on families of parabolically induced Harish-Chandra modules. Except for the use of Van der Noort’s result and some notation this part of the paper (sections 11 and 12) can be read independently of the rest of the paper.

This is a slight extension of a result in [HOW]. Given then as a composition series and each is isomorphic with the representation with an irreducible representation of and and with and . Also note that there is a natural –module exact sequence
[TABLE]
We may assume that the composition series is consistent with this exact sequence. This implies that the that appear in are of the form with a restricted positive root (i.e. a weight of on ).
Now consider the corresponding exact sequence of –modules.

The following lemma is Lemma 1.1.3 in [RRG] taking into account dependence on parameters. The proof is essentially the same taking into account the dependence on parameters and using the local compactness of

[TABLE]
Recall that a pair of a Fréchet space, , and a representation of , , on is called a smooth Fréchet representation of moderate growth if the map is and if is a continuous seminorm on then there exists a continuous seminorm on and such that

It is said to be of Harish-Chandra class if is admissible and finitely generated. Let be the category of smooth Fréchet representations of moderate growth in the Harish-Chandra class.

To prove the second assertion note that is a –vector bundle over . Since compact and contractible the bundle is a trivial –vector bundle ([A],Lemma 1.6.4). Thus there is a representation of and continuous such that and is injective. Notice that is a –module isomorphism. Now pull back the inner product to using getting a –invariant inner product, , on and push the inner product to getting a –invariant inner product on Now apply the first part of the lemma to get an orthonormal basis of with respect to and an orthonormal basis () with respect to such that the matrices of the action of with respect to each of these bases is constant. Take for and for .

We include the following corollary however as noted at the end of the section it is not necessary to prove the main results that follow.
Corollary 39
Let be a connected analytic manifold and let be an analytic family of objects in based on such that then there exists a continuous family of Hilbert representations such that the family is isomorphic with (as a continuous family). Furthermore, the vectors of are the vectors.
Proof. The previous theorem implies that there exists an open covering of such that for each there exists a continuous family of Hilbert representations such that is continuously isomorphic with . For each the definition of the Hilbert spaces implies that one has a unitary isomorphism depending strongly continuously on . This defines a Hilbert vector bundle over . Kuiper’s Theorem implies that all Hilbert bundles with infinite dimensional fibers are trivial ([BB], p.67). Thus there exists a fixed Hilbert space, , and for each and each a unitary isomorphism that depends strongly continuously on such that . Define .
This and Lemma 35 imply our main results
Theorem 40
There exists a continuous family of objects in based on of local uniform moderate growth that globalizes the family .
This can be interpreted in the following way:
Corollary 41
Let be the inverse functor to the –finite functor and let is an analytic family of objects in based on the connected analytic manifold such that . If then
1. For all as subspaces of . Set equal to the common value.
2. The map is continuous from to , linear in and in .
With this interpretation it is clear that this result follows from the local version of the Hilbert globalization (that is the first theorem in this section).
11 The dual functor
We now consider a dual functor. Let let (the continuous dual). If then the following assertions are true
-
There exists a real analytic function on such that .
-
If denotes the right regular action of on then for . If is thought of as a left invariant differential operator then .
-
There exists depending only on and such that
We note that conditions 1. and 2 uniquely specify which satisfies 3.
If is an object of then denote by set of in the algebraic dual, , of such that if then there exists a real analytic function satisfying 1.,2. and 3.
A variant of the CW theorem proved in [RRG]Theorem 11.6.6, Corollary 11.6.3 is
Theorem 42
Let then if and if then
The purpose of this section is to prove a version of this theorem depending on parameters for parabolic induced representations. Before we state our result we will need some definitions and a lemma that will be critical to the proof of the main result of the section.
Let be a real parabolic subgroup with given standard Langlands decomposition. Set . Let be an admissible, finitely generated Hilbert representation of with Hilbertspace structure . Let set and let be a unitary character of Then defines a unitary representation of on . Let be the induced representation of from to . Let and let . If then set
[TABLE]
since the ambiguity in this expression is in this defines a smooth function from to . As usual, define
[TABLE]
Then defines a family of smooth Fréchet representations of moderate growth. Set
If define
[TABLE]
Let be the corresponding norm on and let be the Hilbert space completion of . In ??? se showed that if is a compact subset of Then there exist and such that
Let be such that
[TABLE]
Fix open in with compact closure and set .
Let be a finite dimenional, and invariant subspace such that
[TABLE]
for all . Let be an orthonormal basis of with resepect to (Theorem 21).
If define a new inner product on by
[TABLE]
Lemma 43
Fix in then there exists such that if and then there exists such that if
[TABLE]
Proof. First note that
[TABLE]
Now
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
Since is compact there exists a constant and such that
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
If is a holomorphic family of objects in based on the complex manifold then a correspondence will be called Holomorphic if is holomorphic for all . A holomorphic correspondence with is said to be of local uniform moderate growth if for each compact subset there exists such that if and then
[TABLE]
for .
Theorem 44
Keep the notation above. Let for be holomorphic on an open subset and of local uniform moderate growth. Then for each , extends to an element of and the map
[TABLE]
given by maps to the continuous extension of is weakly holomorphic.
The proof follows the method of the proof of Proposition 11.6.2 in [RRG] to prove a continuous version of the theorem. The holomorphic version will be derived from the continuous version. Let and let be an open neighborhood of with compact closure in then as above there exists such that
[TABLE]
Also since the family is of local uniform moderate growth there exists for each such that
[TABLE]
for . Set As above, let be an orthonormal basis of a and –invariant subspace of in such that for (Theorem 21). If we have as above
[TABLE]
This integral converges uniformly in since there exists such that
[TABLE]
which also implies
[TABLE]
Set equal to the Hilbert space completion of with respect to for . Noting that relative to the action of is unitary, so the action of on extends to . Let with respect to . If is unitary and if then . Also note that
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
If
[TABLE]
so
[TABLE]
Hence . Thus
[TABLE]
Using this, it is easily seen that for each , extends to a strongly continuous representation of on .
I. The vectors of are the same as the vectors.
To prove this assertion note that if is the Casimir operator of corresponding to the invariant form (see the beginning of section 2). Also set equal to the Casimir operator of corresponding to Set . Then elliptic regularity implies that the vectors of in are the completion of with respect to the seminorms .
One has
[TABLE]
If then
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Now hence Hence setting
[TABLE]
so
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
Set Then
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
The vectors are the completion of using the seminorms . This proves I.
Set equal to the adjoint of with respect to . Then the space –finite vectors of is and the corresponding –module is the conjugate dual to and which is the same as the action of . The CW theorem implies that the space of –vectors of is . In particular, if then the functional is a continuous functional on .
Note that if then for each there exists such that for . Let denote the projection of to corresponding to the direct sum decomposition . Set . .
If and if and if is the character of and is the dimension of and if
[TABLE]
then 1. and 2. above imply
[TABLE]
Also 2. implies that
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
Also
[TABLE]
We will now show that the series converges uniformly in . Indeed, the Schur orthogonality relations and the bi-invariance of the norm on imply that if then above implies that there exists a constant, , depending only on such that for all
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
II. There exist constants and such that
[TABLE]
for each .
To prove this assertion we note that is the space of – () vectors for acting on and every with and . Indeed, this is a poinwise theorem that was proved in [RRG] (3),pp. 90-91(in line 7 of p.91 there is a misprint the power of the formula on that line should be not ). This implies that the underlying module of each of the is . Hence the Casselmann-Wallach globalization of is . Sicne it is also , is a continuous norm on for each . This completes the proof of II.
III. Let be as in the previous lemma. Assume that . Then there exists and such that
[TABLE]
This follows from Lemma 43. Which says that if
[TABLE]
Thus
[TABLE]
Finally we have provedt
IV. The extension of to for depends weakly continuously on (that is, if then is continuous).
Indeed, II let and let be as above, an open neighborhood of in with compact closure then Lemma 43 implies that the series
[TABLE]
converges in uniformly in ..
We now complete the proof of the theorem. Let and let be a basis of such contains with the closure of the polydisk It is enough to prove the holomorphy assertion on . If . Define for by
[TABLE]
This integral defines a holomorphic function of on for each . If then Thus on .
12 Application to Eisenstein series
This section will involve terminology that would take us too far afield to explain completely. Also, only those that would be bored with the explanations would be interested in the results. For details in what is omitted we suggest Langlands [L1]. Let be a real reductive group of inner type. Let be a discrete subgroup of such that has finite volume. The results of this section will be true for the class of and described in Chapter 1 of Langlands [L2]. However, we will only consider the subclass of the real points of an algebraic group, , defined over satisfying one more condition which we will describe later in this paragraph. and a subgroup that is of finite index in the points of a –form of (the –points), i.e. an arithmetic subgroup. A cuspidal parabolic subgroup of is the normalizer of a parabolic subgroup of defined over . Then has a –Langlands decomposition with the unipotent radical of and the intersection of the kernels of with a character defined over and is a Levi-factor of that is defined over . The other condition is that the “” in the Langlands decomposition of is trivial. Then and identifying with then is an arithmetic subgroup of .
Throughout this section will be a fixed Let be space of vectors of a closed, –invariant, irreducible subspace of . Let denote the right regular action of on . Let be a maximal compact subgroup of such that is maximal compact in . We consider the smooth representation where , and is the space of all functions from to such that for and . If define for and for . Then since the ambiguity in the expression of an element as is in . is a map of to . We define . Endow with the topology so is a Fréchet space. Note that if we set then is a holomorphic family of objects in based on .
If set for . Then . Consider
[TABLE]
This series converges absolutely and uniformly in compacta in the set of all with Re for all roots of acting on . Langlands has shown that if is in then this series has a meromorphic continuation to all . In this section a proof will be given that the meromorphic continuation is true for all .
Note in the set above where the series converges is an automorphic function. Here, a smooth function, on is called an automorphic function if
-
is –finite and
-
There exists such that if looked upon as a left invariant differential operator then for all .
Usually the condition that is right –finite is also included in the definition.
Lemma 45
If then in the range of convergence
[TABLE]
Here is the right regular representation of on .
Proof. This follows from
[TABLE]
with the identity element of hence of .
If and then there exists an open neighborhood of , , in and a non-zero holomorphic function on such that is holomorphic. Let be the set of pairs with in and a non-zero holomorphic function on such that
[TABLE]
is holomorphic on . If is an open subset of with compact closure then there exists a finite subset such that
[TABLE]
for (Theorem 21). Let be a basis of then if and then if , then is holomorphic in for all and .
Proposition 46
Let be open in with compact closure such that there exists holomorphic on and continuous in the closure of such that is holomorphic on for all and Then there exists such that
[TABLE]
Proof. Lemma 5.1 in [L2] implies that if the constant terms of relative to –rank one parabolic subgroups containing have exponents and if
[TABLE]
then
[TABLE]
for ( added to the exponent is to dominate the logarithmic term in Langlands’ inequality). On the other hand, the main observation in [W2] implies that the are restrictions of exponents of the –module . This implies that is bounded by the maximum of the norms of the Harish-Chandra parameters of (here the norms are with respect to the Hermitian extension of the inner product on ). Thus since the closure of is compact there exists such that for . Take .
We are now ready to prove
Theorem 47
If then has a meromorphic continuation to .
Proof. Let and let be an open neighborhood of with compact closure such that there exists and as above. If define . Then and if we set then the above lemma shows that is of uniform moderate growth on hence satisfies the hypotheses of Theorem 44 which implies that the extension of to is weakly holomorphic in . Since is arbitrary in this completes the proof.
