Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mathematics, 2008. / This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 135-137). / In this thesis, we show that single-petaled K-types and quasi-single-petaled K-types for reductive Lie groups generalize petite K-types for split groups. First, we prove that a Weyl group algebra element represents the action of the long intertwining operator for each single-petaled K-type, and then we demonstrate that a Weyl group algebra element represents a part of the long intertwining operator for each quasi-single-petaled K-type. We classify irreducible Weyl group representations realized by quasi-single-petaled K-types for classical groups. This work proves that every irreducible Weyl group representation is realized by quasi-single-petaled K-types for SL(n;C), SL(n;R), SU(m; n), SO(m; n), and Sp(n;R). / by Jerin Gu. / Ph.D.
