Abstract
We prove here an identity for cocycles associated with homogeneous spaces in the context of locally compact groups. Mackey introduced cocycles (λ-functions) in his work on representation theory of such groups. For a given locally compact group G and a closed subgroup H of G, with right coset space G/H, a cocycle λ is a real-valued Borel function on G/H × G satisfying the cocycle identity
where the "almost everywhere" is with respect to a measure whose null sets pull back to Haar measure null sets on G. Let H and K be regularly related closed subgroups of G. Our identity describes a relationship between cocycles for G/Hx, G/Ky and G/(Hx∩Ky) for almost all x,y ∈ G. This also leads to an identity for modular functions of G and the corresponding subgroups.
