Abstract

Description

The notions of reflection, symmetry, and positivity from quantum field theory are shown to induce a duality operation for a general class of unitary representations of Lie groups. The semisimple Lie groups which have this $c$-duality are identified and they are placed in the context of Harish-Chandra's legacy for the unitary representations program. Our paper begins with a discussion of path space measures, which is the setting where reflection positivity (Osterwalder-Schrader) was first identified as a useful tool of analysis.
