affine Lie group Aff +(1)  is square-integrable then we compute its Duflo-Moore operator instead 
of using Fourier transform as in Führ’s work.

Duflo-Moore Operator for The Square-Interable Representation of 2-Dimensional Affine Lie Group 

115 

1. Introduction  
 

The current research about square-integrable representations of  Lie groups can be 

found, for instance in [1] and [2].   In the previous work, the notion of square-integrable 

representation of a Lie group associating to wavelet transforms was introduced by 

Grossmann, Morlet, and Paul (see [3]). Particularly, they investigated the nice examples 

of a square-integrable representation of   𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏- group, known as affine Lie group 
Aff(1) as can be seen in [4]. In the other hand, the research about 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏-groups can also 
be found, for instance in [5] and [6].  

It is well known that Aff(1) is the exponential solvable Lie group which is non 
unimodular group whose Lie algebra of Aff(1) is Frobenius.  Other examples are  
parabolic subgroups which are Fobenius as well (see [7] and[8]). But we thought that 

Grossmann’s work  is the best example for young researchers how to understand the 

square-integrable representations for case nonunimodular groups which is started from 

the  Aff(1) Lie group. Moreover, other examples of nonunimodular groups are Lie groups 
whose Lie algebras are 4-dimensional real Frobenius Lie algebras.  Kurniadi and Ishi [9] 

showed that irreducible unitary representations of these Lie groups are square-integrable 

representations and they wrote the Duflo-Moore operators in the terms of groups Fourier 

transforms.  

Many reseachers study  affine Lie algebras and the structure of affine for instance we 

see some results in [10], [11], [12], [13],[14], [15], [16], and [17].  

In the other hand, in easier stage we  can also study square-integrable representations 

for unimodular Lie groups case. Heisenberg Lie groups of dimension 2𝑛 + 1 and filiform 
Lie groups are in these types. In fact, the Duflo-Moore operators for square-integrable 

representations of unimodular groups are scalar multiple (see [18]).  In current work, 

Kurniadi in [19] proved that irreducible-unitary representation of Lie group of 4-

dimensional standard filiform Lie algebra is square-integrable and its Duflo-Moore 

operator is scalar multiple of identity which is equal to one.  

In this work, we shall give another alternative to compute the Duflo-Moore operator 

for square-integrable representation of Aff +(1) by direct computations instead of forming 
in group Fourier transform which was written in [18].   

 
2. Preliminaries 

 

Let Aff +(1) be the 2-dimensional affine Lie group whis is expressed as a semidirect 
product of the set of all real numbers ℝ and the set of all positive real numbers ℝ+. 
Namely, we can write this group as Aff +(1) ≔ ℝ ⋊ ℝ+. Particularly, in this work we 
concentrate to Aff +(1) which is the exponential solvable nonunimodular Lie group. To 
make easier in computations we write Aff +(1) in matrix terms. Namely, we have  

 

Aff +(1) ∋ (
𝛼 𝛽
0 1

) , 𝛼 ∈ ℝ+, 𝛽 ∈ ℝ.               (1) 

 

Regarding this notations, we denote 𝑔(𝛼, 𝛽) ≔ (
𝛼 𝛽
0 1

), Δ(𝛼) ≔ (
𝛼 0
0 1

), and ∇(𝛽) ≔

 (
1 𝛽
0 1

). The Lie algebra of  Aff +(1) is denoted by  aff(1) whose basis is {𝑒1, 𝑒2}. The 

nonzero bracket of aff(1) is given by [𝑒1, 𝑒2] = 𝑒2.  The Lie algebra aff(1) is a Frobenius 
Lie algebra which has  two open coadjoint orbits as follows (see [20]).

The representations of the affine Lie group Aff(1) can be realized on the Hilbert 
space of all square-integrable functions L2(ℝ+). Before doing that, let us mention here 
some basic notion of representation theory of Lie groups corresponding to our research. 

 

Definition 1 [21]. Let π be a representation of a Lie group G on the carrier space ℋ. π is 
said to be irreducible if π has no nontrivial π-invariant subspace  ℋ0 in ℋ. Moreover, π 
is said to be uintary if for each f ∈ ℋ and each  g ∈ G  
  
‖𝜋(𝑔)𝑓‖ = ‖𝑓‖.                (3) 

 

Proposition 2 [20]. The irreducible unitary representations of Aff +(1) correponsding to 
open coadjoint orbit Ω+ in eqs. (2) in the space  L

2(ℝ+) is of the form  
           

𝜋+(𝑔)𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒
2𝜋𝑖𝛽𝑥 𝑓(𝛼𝑥),                                   (4) 

  

where 𝑔 ≔ 𝑔(𝛼, 𝛽) ∈  Aff +(1) ,  𝛼 ∈ ℝ+, 𝛽 ∈ ℝ and 𝑓 ∈ L
2(ℝ+).  

 

Furthermore, the representation of affine Lie group  Aff +(1) can be realized as  a 
quasi-regular representations (see [18]).  It is written in the formula as follows. 

 

𝜋(𝑔(𝛼, 𝛽)) = 𝛼
−

1

2𝜓(
𝑥−𝛽

𝛼
),  𝛼 ∈ ℝ+, 𝛽 ∈ ℝ and 𝜓 ∈ L

2(ℝ+).                           (5) 

 

We are mainly interested in the square-integrable representation. Let 𝜋 be an 
irreducible unitary representation of a Lie group 𝐺 realized on the space  ℋ and L2(𝐺) be 
the space of all square-integrable functions on 𝐺.  For vector 𝑓1 ∈ ℋ, we define  the 
operator on  ℋ given by  
 

ℰ𝑓1 : ℋ ∋ 𝑓2 ↦ ℰ𝑓1 𝑓2 ∈ L
2(𝐺).                                      (6) 

 

where ℰ𝑓1 𝑓2(𝑥) = 〈𝑓1|𝜋(𝑥)𝑓2〉.  

 

Definition 3 [22].The irreducible unitary representation π of locally compact topological 
group G realized on a space ℋ is said to be square-interable if there exist two vectors 
f1, f2 ∈ ℋ − {0} such that  
 

‖ℰ𝑓1 𝑓2‖
2

= 〈𝑓1|𝜋(𝑥)𝑓2〉 = ∫ 𝑓1(𝑔)𝜋(𝑥)𝑓2(𝑔)
̅̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ ̅̅ ̅  dμ(𝑔)

𝐺
< +∞.                           (7) 

 

In the other words, 〈f1|π(x)f2〉 ∈ L
2(G, μG) where μG is a measure on G. Such vectors 

which satisfied eqs. (7) are called admissible vectors.  

 

Duflo-Moore state their results in the following theorem 

 

Theorem 4 [23]. If π is square-integrable representations of locally compact group G 
realized on the space ℋ then there exists a positive selfadjoint operator Cπ: ℋ → ℋ 
which is called the Duflo-Moore operator  such that 

a. a vector ψ ∈ ℋ − {0} is admissible if and only if ψ is an element of domain of Cπ.  
b. if f1, f2 ∈ ℋ and f3, f4 ∈ Dom (Cπ) then 

 

〈ℰ𝑓1 𝑓3|ℰ𝑓2 𝑓4〉L2(𝐺,𝜇𝐺) = 〈𝑓1
|𝑓2〉ℋ 〈𝐶𝜋𝑓4|𝐶𝜋𝑓3〉ℋ .           (8)

2. Methods 
 

In this research we apply the literature reviews method, particularly we focus on 

results in [18] and [20]. We obtain the quasi-regular representation of Aff +(1) in Fuhr’s 
work and we compute the Fourier transform of its representation to determine the Duflo-

Moore operator. On the other hand, we also obtain the irreducible unitary representation 

of  Aff +(1) corressponding to open coadjoint orbits and we show that representatation is 
square-integrable. Using direct computations, we obtain the Duflo-Moore operator for 

that representation. 

 

3. Results and Discussion 
 

Our results and discussion consist of two main part as follows. 

 

3.1 The Duflo-Moore Operator for The Quasi-Regular Representation of   𝐀𝐟𝐟+(𝟏).  

The following statement can be deduced from [18] in page 30--31. However, we 

give a detail proof for its own interest.  

 

Lemma 5 [18]. The Fourier transform of quasi-regular representation  π of Aff +(1)  as in 
eqs. (5) is of the form

2𝑒−2𝜋𝑖𝜉𝛽 ℱ𝜓(𝛼𝜉).            (9) 
 

Proof.

Thus, from the latter equation we obtain the Duflo-Moore operator is equal to

3.2 The Duflo-Moore Operator for The Irreducible Unitary Representation of 

𝐀𝐟𝐟+(𝟏) 

This session is the main result. First, we recall that the irreducible unitary 

representation of group Aff +(1) in Proposition 2 can be written in the following 
proposition

Duflo-Moore Operator for The Square-Interable Representation of 2-Dimensional Affine Lie Group

Proposition 7. The irreducible unitary representations of Aff +(1) correponsding to open 
coadjoint orbit Ω+ in eqs. (2) in the space  L

2(ℝ+) is of the form  
 

𝜋+(Δ(𝛼))𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝛼𝑥),            

𝜋+(∇(𝛽))𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒
2𝜋𝑖𝛽𝑥 𝑓(𝑥),                               (11) 

 

where 𝛼 ∈ ℝ+, 𝛽 ∈ ℝ and 𝑓 ∈ L
2(ℝ+).  

 

Proof. Let  aff(1) be a Lie algebra of  Aff +(1) whose basis is {𝑒1, 𝑒2}. We consider its 

dual space as aff(1)∗ ∋ (
𝑎 ∗
𝑏 ∗

),  where 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ ℝ. Moreover, let (
𝛼 𝛽
0 1

) , 𝛼 ∈ ℝ+, 𝛽 ∈

ℝ be an element of group affine Aff +(1). We shall construct the irreducible unitary 
representation of Aff +(1) corresponding to open coadjoint orbit  Ω+ ≔ {(𝑎, 𝑏)     ;     𝑏 >
0}.  To do that, fix a point  𝜏 ≔ 𝑒2

∗ ∈ Ω+ ⊂ aff(1)
∗ as a linear functional.  For subalgebra 

ℵ ≔ 〈𝑒2〉 we have ℵ has maximal dimension and the value of linear functional 𝜏 on the 
commutator [ ℵ, ℵ] is given by 𝜏([ ℵ, ℵ]) = 0. Therefore,  ℵ is a polarization in aff(1).  
Let ℵ⊥ be the orthogonal subspace. Furthermore, since 𝜏 + ℵ⊥ is contained in  Ω+ then 
ℵ satisfies Pukanszky condition.  

Now we construct a 1-dimensional representation 𝜆𝜏  of Ν ≔ exp ℵ as follows. 
 

𝜆𝜏 (exp 𝑒) ≔ 𝑒
2𝜋𝑖〈𝜏|𝑒〉 = 𝑒2𝜋𝑖𝛽 , 𝑒 ≔ 𝛼𝑒1 + 𝛽𝑒2 , 𝜏 ∈ Ω+.          (12) 

 

We identify the coset Aff +(1)/Ν by ℝ+ and we obtain the section given by 
 

𝑠: ℝ+ ∋ 𝑥 ↦ exp 𝑥𝑒1 ∈ Aff
+(1).                      (13) 

 

To obtain the explicit formula  of the  representation of  Aff +(1)  we need to solve what 
we called the master equation  

 

𝑠(𝑥)𝑔 = ℎ𝑠(𝑥, 𝑔)𝑠(𝑥𝑔),       (𝑥 ∈ ℝ+, 𝑔 ∈ Aff
+(1), ℎ𝑠(𝑥, 𝑔) ∈ Ν ).                      (14) 

 

Using the basis {𝑒1, 𝑒2 } we solve the following master equations with respect to its basis: 
 

a. (
𝑥 0
0 1

) (
𝛼 0
0 1

) = (
1 𝑢
0 1

) (
𝑦 0
0 1

), 

 

by solving with respect to 𝑢 and 𝑦 we obtain 𝑦 = 𝛼𝑥. Therefore,  𝜋+(Δ(𝛼))𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑓(𝛼𝑥). We mention here that we apply a right action of  Aff +(1)  in space L2(ℝ+).  

         

b. (
𝑥 0
0 1

) (
1 𝛽
0 1

) = (
1 𝑢
0 1

) (
𝑦 0
0 1

). 

 

In this case, we have 𝑦 = 𝑥 and 𝑢 = 𝛽𝑥. Therefore, 𝜋+(∇(𝛽))𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑒
2𝜋𝑖𝛽𝑥 𝑓(𝑥) as 

desired. 

∎    
 

In the next section, we shall compute the Duflo-Moore operator for the 

representation of  Aff +(1) with respect to its right Haar measure. The result of Duflo-
Moore operator for the representation of  Aff +(1) with respect left Haar measure can be 
found in [24]  pages 82-85.

−1/2𝑓(𝑥),           (  𝑓 ∈ L2(ℝ+), 𝑥 ∈ ℝ+ )               (15)

4. Conclusions 
 

The Duflo-Moore operator for the representations of Aff +(1) in this paper  is 
considered in two cases. The first case, it is for the quasi-regular representation and 

written in the term of Fourier transform. Namely, we obtain  ℱ(𝐶𝜋𝜓)(𝜉) = 𝜉
−1/2ℱ𝜓(𝜉) 

(see [18]). The second case, the Duflo-Moore operator is considered for irreducible 

unitary representation with respect to its right Haar measure and we have  𝐶𝜋+ 𝑓(Δ(𝑥)) =

𝑥−1/2𝑓(𝑥). On the other hand, the Duflo-Moore operator for a square-intergarble 
representation of Aff +(1)  with respect to its left Haar measure can be seen in  [24]  pages 
82-85. 

It is more interesting  to compute the Duflo-Moore operator for the representation of 

higher dimension of affine Lie groups.
