Jakob Hedicke, Karl-Hermann Neeb

TL;DR
This paper characterizes stably elliptic elements in Lie groups, linking their properties to fixed point algebras, Weyl group actions, and causal structures, with implications for geometry and representation theory.
Contribution
It provides a new characterization of stably elliptic elements using fixed point algebras and Weyl group actions, and explores their geometric and causal properties in Lie groups.
Findings
Connected components of stably elliptic elements relate to Weyl group actions.
In hermitian Lie groups, stably elliptic elements connect to invariant cones.
The basic component is characterized by compactness and is globally hyperbolic.
Abstract
An element of a Lie group is called stably elliptic if it is contained in the interior of the set of elliptic elements, characterized by the property that generates a relatively compact subgroup. Stably elliptic elements appear naturally in the geometry of causal symmetric spaces and in representation theory. We characterize stably elliptic elements in terms of the fixed point algebra of and show that the connected components of the set of stably elliptic elements can be described in terms of the Weyl group action on a compactly embedded Cartan subalgebra. In the case of simple hermitian Lie groups we relate stably elliptic elements to maximal invariant cones and the associated subsemigroups. In particular we show that the basic connected component can be characterized in terms of the compactness of order intervals and…
