The dirac operator and the principal series for complex semisimple lie groups

The Dirac operator plays a fundamental role in the geometric construction of the discrete series for semisimple Lie groups. We show that, at the level of K-theory, the Dirac operator also plays a central role in connection with the principal series for complex connected semisimple Lie groups. This proves the Connes-Kasparov conjecture for such groups.

Abstract

The Dirac operator plays a fundamental role in the geometric construction of the discrete series for semisimple Lie groups. We show that, at the level of K-theory, the Dirac operator also plays a central role in connection with the principal series for complex connected semisimple Lie groups. This proves the Connes-Kasparov conjecture for such groups.
