INTRODUCTION Let G be a connected linear algebraic group and H its closed subgroup. When a Borel subgroup of G has a Zariski-dense orbit in H _ G, we say that H _ G is spherical wBx. By wVx, symmetric spaces are spherical in this sense. More generally, when there exists a parabolic subgroup P of G such that H _ G has a Zariski-dense P-orbit, we say that H _ G is weakly spherical Žor P-spherical.. We shall consider everything over the complex number field C. To develop the theory of Eisenstein series on weakly spherical homogeneous spaces, we need many examples. When G s GLn , it is closely related with a prehomogeneous vector space wSx. A homogeneous space r Ž H . _ GLn is called simple when Ž H, r . is of the form Ž GLl1 = Gs r 1 q ??? q r l ., where each r i is an irreducible representation of a simple algebraic group Gs and GLl1 acts on each irreducible component as a scalar multiplication. In this paper ŽI., as the first trial toward the classification of weakly spherical homogeneous spaces, we shall classify all simple weakly spherical 235 0021-8693r96 $18.00 Copyright Q 1996 by Academic Press, Inc.

1. PRELIMINARIES Let G be a connected linear algebraic group and H its closed subgroup. PROPOSITION 1.1. The following conditions are equi¨ alent. Ž1. Ž2. Ž3. Ž4.

H _ G is P-spherical. gHgy1 _ G is P-spherical for any g g G. H _ G is gPgy1 -spherical for any g g G. t y1 t y1 H _ G is tPy1-spherical.

Proof. Clearly H _ G is P-spherical if and only if G has a Zariski-dense orbit HyP. However, HyP is dense in G if and only if gHyP s Ž gHgy1 .Ž gy . P Žresp. HyPgy1 s H Ž ygy1 .Ž gPgy1 ., t Ž HyP .y1 s tHy1 ? t yy1 ? t y1 P . is dense in G. From now on, we shall assume that G s GLn Žs GLŽ n.. and let Pe1 , . . . , e r s P Ž e1 , . . . , e r .Ž e1 q ??? qe r s n. be a standard parabolic subgroup given as follows.

is a parabolic subgroup P Ž e1 , . . . , e r .. Hence Ž H = P Ž e1 , . . . , e r ., M Ž n.. is a PV if and only if Ž H = GLŽ f r . = GLŽ f ry1 . = ??? = GLŽ f 1 ., M Ž n . [ M Ž n, f ry 1 . [ ???

As a corollary, we obtain the simple proof of Teranishi’s generalized castling transform. COROLLARY 1.4 ŽTeranishi wTx.. Let n s e1 q ??? qe r , and r : H ª GLŽ n. a rational representation. Then the following conditions are equi¨ alent. Ž1. Ž H = P Ž e1 , . . . , e ry1 ., r m LU1 , M Ž n, n y e r .. is a PV. Ž2. Ž H = P Ž e r , . . . , e2 ., r * m LU1 , M Ž n, n y e1 .. is a PV. Proof. Note that Ž1. is PV-equivalent to Ž3. in Proposition 1.3. Hence, by Corollary 1.2 and again by Proposition 1.3, it is PV-equivalent to Ž2.. Note that when r s 2, Corollary 1.4 gives a usual castling transformation.

2. THE CASE WHEN r : H ª GLn IS IRREDUCIBLE In this section, we shall consider an irreducible representation r : H ª GLn of a simple algebraic group H. PROPOSITION 2.1 ŽwSKx; p. 372 in wtype Ix.. We identify r Ž H . and H: r Ž H . s H. By Proposition 1.3, H _ GLn is P Ž m, n y m.-spherical if and only if Ž H = GLm , r m L 1 , M Ž n, m.. is a PV Ž n ) m G 1.. All such PV ’s are gi¨ en as follows.

Let Ž H, r . with deg r s n be one of ŽI. in Proposition 2.1. Then H _ GLn is P-spherical if and only if P is Ž conjugate to . P Ž1, n y 1. or P Ž n y 1, 1.. Note that we identify H and r Ž H . Ž; GLn .. Proof. By Proposition 1.3, H _ GLn is P Ž e1 , e2 .-spherical if and only if Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž1, n y 1. or Ž n y 1, 1.. If H _ GLn is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical, then it must be P Ž e1 q e2 , e3 . and P Ž e1 , e2 q e3 .-spherical since P Ž e1 q e2 , e3 . > P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 ., etc. Hence we have Ž e1 , e2 , e3 . s Ž1, n y 2, 1.. By Proposition 1.3, H _ GLn is P Ž1, n y 2, 1.-spherical if and only if Ž H = GLny 1 = GL1 , r m LU1 m 1 q 1 m L 1 m LU1 . ( Ž GL21 = H = SL ny1 , r m LU1 q 1 m L 1 . is a PV. However, it is a non-PV by Theorem 2.1 and Lemma 2.2, page 375 in wtype Ix. Hence it is not P Ž e1 , . . . , e r .-spherical for any r G 3. PROPOSITION 2.3. Let H s L 2 Ž SL 2 kq1 . with k G 3 so that n s deg L 2 s k Ž2 k q 1.. Then H _ GLn is P-spherical if and only if P s P Ž e1 , e2 . with Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž1, n y 1., Ž2, n y 2., Ž n y 2, 2., Ž n y 1, 1. and P Ž1, 1, n y 2., P Ž n y 2, 1, 1.. Proof. We obtain our results for P Ž e1 , e2 . by Propositions 1.3 and 2.1. If H _ GLn is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical, then it must be P Ž e1 q e2 , e3 . and

240

KASAI, KIMURA, AND OTANI

P Ž e 1 , e 2 q e 3 .-spherical. Hence Ž e 1 , e 2 , e 3 . s Ž1, 1, n y 2 ., Ž n y 2, 1, 1., Ž1, n y 2, 1., Ž1, n y 3, 2., Ž2, n y 3, 1., and Ž2, n y 4, 2.. By Corollary 1.2, it is not necessary to consider Ž n y 2, 1, 1. and Ž2, n y 3, 1.. By Proposition 1.3, H _ GLn is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical if and only if Ž SL 2 kq1 = GLŽ e1 q e2 . = GLŽ e1 ., L 2 m LU1 m 1 q 1 m L 1 m LU1 . is a PV. When e1 s 1, it is equivalent to Ž GL21 = SL 2 kq1 = SLŽ e2 q 1., L 2 m LU1 q 1 m L 1 . and it is a PV when e2 s 1 ŽTheorem 2.11 for k s 3, Theorem 2.7 for k s 4, and Theorem 2.5 for k G 5 in wtype Ix.. However, it is a non-PV when e2 s n y 3 ŽLemma 2.2 for k s 3, 4 and Theorem 2.1 for k G 5 in wtype Ix. or when e2 s n y 2 ŽTheorem 2.12 for k s 3 and Theorem 2.7 for k G 4 in wtype Ix.. When e1 s 2 and e2 s n y 4, it is a non-PV by dimension reason. Now if H _ GLn is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 , e4 .-spherical, then it must be P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 q e4 . and P Ž e1 q e2 , e3 , e4 .-spherical and hence e2 s e3 s 1, and e1 , e4 is 1 or n y 3. If it is P Ž1, 1, 1, n y 3. Žresp. P Ž n y 3, 1, 1, 1..-spherical, it must be P Ž1, 2, n y 3. Žresp. P Ž n y 3, 2, 1..spherical, i.e., a contradiction. Hence it is not P Ž e1 , . . . , e r .-spherical for any r G 4. PROPOSITION 2.4. Let H s L 2 Ž SL6 . with n s 15 Ž resp. 2L 1Ž SL 3 . with n s 6, L 1Ž E6 . with n s 27.. Then H _ GLn is P-spherical if and only if P s P Ž1, n y 1., P Ž2, n y 2., P Ž n y 2, 2., and P Ž n y 1, 1.. Proof. By Propositions 1.3 and 2.1, we have our assertion for P s P Ž e1 , e2 .. If it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical, then Ž e1 q e2 , e3 . and Ž e1 , e2 q e3 . must be Ž1, n y 1., Ž2, n y 2., Ž n y 2, 2., or Ž n y 1, 1.. Hence we have Ž e1 , e2 , e3 . s Ž1, 1, n y 2., Ž1, n y 3, 2., Ž1, n y 2, 1., Ž2, n y 4, 2. and Ž2, n y 3, 1., Ž n y 2, 1, 1.. By Corollary 1.2, it is not necessary to consider Ž2, n y 3, 1., Ž n y 2, 1, 1.. By Proposition 1.3, it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical if and only if Ž H = GLŽ e1 q e2 . = GLŽ e1 ., r m LU1 m 1 q 1 m L 1 m LU1 . is a PV, where r : H ª GLn is an injection. When e1 s 1, it is equivalent to Ž GL21 = H = SLŽ e2 q 1., r m L 1 q 1 m LU1 ., which is a non-PV for e2 s 1, 12, 13 by Lemma 2.2 in wtype Ix Žresp. for e2 s 1, 3 by Lemma 2.2 in wtype Ix and for e2 s 4 by Theorem 2.1 in wtype Ix; resp. for e2 s 1, 24, 25 by Theorem 2.1 in wtype Ix.. By dimension reason, it is a non-PV for e1 s 2 and e2 s 11 Žresp. e2 s 2, e2 s 23.. Hence it is not P Ž e1 , . . . , e r .-spherical for any r G 3. PROPOSITION 2.5. Let H s L 2 Ž G 2 . with n s 7. Then H _ GL7 is Pspherical if and only if P s P Ž e1 , e2 . with Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž1, 6., Ž2, 5., Ž5, 2., Ž6, 1. and P s P Ž1, 1, 5., P Ž1, 5, 1., P Ž5, 1, 1.. Proof. For P s P Ž e1 , e2 ., we have our results by Propositions 1.3 and 2.1. If it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical, we have Ž e1 , e2 , e3 . s Ž1, 1, 5., Ž1, 4, 2., Ž1, 5, 1., Ž2, 3, 2. Žand Ž2, 4, 1., Ž5, 1, 1... By Proposition 1.3, it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical if and only if Ž G 2 = GLŽ e1 q e2 . = GLŽ e1 ., L 2 m

LU1 m 1 q 1 m L 1 m LU1 . is a PV. If e1 s 1, it is equivalent to Ž GL21 = G 2 = SLŽ e2 q 1., L 2 m L 1 q 1 m LU1 ., which is a PV for e1 s 1 and 5 by Theorem 2.5 in wtype Ix while it is a non-PV for e2 s 4 by Theorem 2.1 in wtype Ix. When e1 s 2 and e2 s 3, it is a non-PV by a dimension reason. If it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 , e4 .-spherical, then it is P Ž e1 q e2 , e3 , e4 ., P Ž e1 , e2 q e3 , e4 ., P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 q e4 .-spherical and hence e1 , . . . , e4 s 1 or 5 with e1 q ??? qe4 s 7, which is impossible. Hence it is not P Ž e1 , . . . , e r .-spherical for any r G 4. PROPOSITION 2.6. Let H s LŽ Spin 7 . with n s 8 Ž resp. L9Ž Spin10 . with n s 16, L 2 Ž SL5 . with n s 10., where L Ž resp. L9. is the spin Ž resp. a half-spin. representation. Then H _ GLn is P-spherical if and only if P s P Ž m, n y m. with m s 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 Ž resp. 1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 15; resp. 1 F m F 9, m / 5.; P Ž1, 1, n y 2., P Ž1, 2, n y 3., P Ž1, n y 3, 2., P Ž1, n y 2, 1., P Ž2, 1, n y 3. Ž and P Ž2, n y 3, 1., P Ž n y 3, 1, 2., P Ž n y 3, 2, 1. P Ž n y 2, 1, 1..; P Ž1, 1, 1, n y 3., P Ž1, 1, n y 3, 1. Ž and P Ž1, n y 3, 1, 1., P Ž n y 3, 1, 1, 1... Proof. By Propositions 1.3 and 2.1, we have our assertion for P s P Ž e1 , e2 .. If it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical, then similarly to the above, we have Ž e1 , e2 , e3 . s Ž1, 1, n y 2., Ž1, 2, n y 3., Ž1, n y 4, 3., Ž1, n y 3, 2., Ž1, n y 2, 1., Ž2, 1, n y 3., Ž2, n y 5, 3., Ž2, n y 4, 2., Ž3, n y 6, 3. Žand Ž2, n y 3, 1., Ž3, n y 5, 2., Ž3, n y 4, 1., Ž n y 3, 1, 2., Ž n y 3, 2, 1., Ž n y 2, 1, 1.; cf. Corollary 1.2.. Moreover, in the case H s L 2 Ž SL5 ., we have also Ž1, 3, 6 ., Ž1, 5, 4 ., Ž2, 2, 6 ., Ž2, 4, 4 ., Ž3, 1, 6 ., Ž3, 3, 4 ., Ž4, 2, 4 . Žand Ž4, 3, 3., Ž4, 4, 2., Ž4, 5, 1., Ž6, 1, 3., Ž6, 2, 2., Ž6, 3, 1.; cf. Corollary 1.2.. By Proposition 1.3, it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 .-spherical if and only if Ž H = GLŽ e1 q e2 . = GLŽ e1 ., r m LU1 m 1 q 1 m L 1 m LU1 . is a PV, where r : H ª GLn is the inclusion. When e1 s 1, it is equivalent to Ž GL21 = H = SLŽ e2 q 1., r m L 1 q 1 m LU1 ., which is a PV for e2 s 1, 2, n y 3 by Theorem 2.5 Žfor L 2 Ž SL5 . by Theorems 2.8, 2.5, 2.7, respectively. and e2 s n y 2 by Theorem 2.7 Žfor L 2 Ž SL5 . by Theorem 2.9. in wtype Ix, while it is a non-PV for e2 s n y 4 Žfor L 2 Ž SL5 ., also e2 s 3, 5. by Theorem 2.1 in wtype Ix. If Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž2, 1., it is a PV by Theorem 2.5 in wtype Ix. If Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž2, n y 5., Ž3, n y 6., it is a non-PV by Lemma 2.17 in wKasaix. If Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž2, n y 4., it is a non-PV by Theorem 3.15 in wKasaix. When H s L 2 Ž SL5 . with Ž e1 , e2 . s Ž2, 2., Ž2, 4., Ž3, 1., Ž3, 3., and Ž4.2., it is a nonPV by Lemma 2.16 in wKasaix. Hence if it is P Ž e1 , e2 , e3 , e4 .-spherical, then Ž e1 q e2 , e3 , e4 ., Ž e1 , e2 q e3 , e4 ., Ž e1 , e2 , e3 q e4 . must be one of Ž1, 1, n y 2., Ž1, 2, n y 3., Ž1, n y 3, 2., Ž1, n y 2, 1., Ž2, 1, n y 3., Ž2, n y 3, 1., Ž n y 3, 1, 2., Ž n y 3, 2, 1., Ž n y 2, 1, 1., and we have Ž e1 , e2 , e3 , e4 . s Ž1, 1, 1, n y 3., Ž1, 1, n y 3, 1. Žand Ž1, n y 3, 1, 1., Ž n y 3, 1, 1, 1.; cf. Corollary 1.2.. It is P Ž1, 1, 1, n y 3.-spherical if and only if Ž H = GL3 = GL2 = GL1 , r m LU1 m 1 m 1 q 1 m L 1 m LU1 m 1 q 1 m 1 m L 1 m LU1 . is a PV. Since the

GL3-part of a generic isotropy subgroup of Ž H = GL3 , r m LU1 . is SO 3 wSKx, it is a PV ŽTheorem 2.5 in wtype Ix..

When H s LŽ Spin 7 ., the GL7-part of a generic isotropy subgroup of Ž H = GL7 , r m LU1 . is G 2 wSKx, and hence it is a PV ŽTheorem 2.5 in wtype Ix.. When H s L9Ž Spin10 ., the Lie algebra LieŽ H .
