On the analogy between real reductive groups and Cartan motion groups. I: The Mackey-Higson bijection
George Mackey suggested in 1975 that there should be analogies between the irreducible unitary representations of a noncompact reductive Lie group $G$ and those of its Cartan motion group $G_0$ $-$ the semidirect product of a maximal compact subgroup of $G$ and a vector space. He conjectured the existence of …
