    In this paper, we deal with the U(g)-action on a g-module on which a larger algebra A acts irreducibly. Under a mild condition, we will show that the support of the Z(g)-action is a union of affine subspaces in the dual of a Cartan subalgebra modulo the Weyl group action. As a consequence, we propose a definition of a Cartan subalgebra for such a g-module. The support of the Z(g)-module is an algebraic counterpart of the support of the measure in the irreducible decomposition of a unitary representation. This consideration is motivated by the theory of the discrete decomposability initiated by T. Kobayashi. Defining a Cartan subalgebra for a g-module is motivated by the study of I. Losev on Poisson G-varieties. These are related each other through the associated variety and the nilpotent orbit associated to a g-module.

    In this paper, we consider D-modules on the basic affine space G/U and their global sections for a semisimple complex algebraic group G. Our aim is to prepare basic results about large non-irreducible modules for the branching problem and harmonic analysis of reductive Lie groups. A main tool is a formula given by Bezrukavnikov–Braverman–Positselskii. The formula is about a product of functions and their Fourier transforms on G/U like Capelli's identity. Using the formula, we give a generalization of the Beilinson–Bernstein correspondence. It is also shown that the global sections of holonomic D-modules are also holonomic using the formula. As a consequence, we give a large algebra action on the u-cohomologies H<sup>i</sup>(u;V) of a g-module V when V is realized as a holonomic D-module. We consider affinity of the supports of the t-modules H<sup>i</sup>(u;V).

    In this paper, we study the irreducibility of U(g)<sup>G′</sup>-modules on the spaces of intertwining operators in the branching problem of reductive Lie algebras, and construct a family of finite-dimensional irreducible U(g)<sup>G′</sup>-modules using the Zuckerman derived functors. We provide criteria for the irreducibility of U(g)<sup>G′</sup>-modules in the cases of generalized Verma modules, cohomologically induced modules, and discrete series representations. We treat only discrete decomposable restrictions with certain dominance conditions (quasiabelian and in the good range). To describe the U(g)<sup>G′</sup>-modules, we give branching laws of cohomologically induced modules using ones of generalized Verma modules when K<sup>′</sup> acts on K/L<inf>K</inf> transitively.

    When an irreducible representation of a group G is restricted to a subgroup G', it is generally no longer irreducible, and in special cases, it may decompose into a direct sum of smaller irreducible representations though it can also exhibit more intricate and varied behavior. The problem to study such behavior is known as the branching problem. In recent years, many computational results have been obtained in the case where G and G' are reductive Lie groups. The aim of this study is to seek a framework that explains these computational results, and we have discovered three types of Cartan subalgebras (and root systems) that appear to control the branching laws. One of these extends the algebraic aspect of the theory of discrete decomposability in branching laws developed by Toshiyuki Kobayashi.
