This talk will discuss how the Harish-Chandra modules arising from the discrete series representations, and their limits, of a real semi-simple Lie group satisfy a canonical linear PDE system. In case the Harish-Chandra parameter is very regular, this PDE system is the initial term in the classical Spencer sequence. In the general case the PDE system appears to be of a new type and its structure is not yet understood. The connection between representation theory and PDE’s will be established using complex geometry. The talk is intended for a general audience and all of the major concepts will be defined and illustrated in low dimensional examples.
