Vanishing of the first-order cohomology on Olshanski spherical pairs

Abstract

In this paper, we study the first-order cohomology space of countable direct limit groups related to Olshanski spherical pairs, relatively to unitary representations which do not have almost invariant vectors. In particular, we prove a variant of Delorme’s vanishing result of the first-order cohomology space for spherical representations of Olshanski spherical pairs.
