Composition series for analytic continuations of holomorphic discrete series representations of \(\text{SU}_{p,q}\) (Q1608952)

Starting from the Koecher norm function and using the Iwasawa decomposition the author gives a new proof for the gamma function over Cartan domains and proves certain functional relations satisfied by the gamma function. For the symmetric domain \(SU_{p,q}/\text{S}(\text{U}_p\otimes \text{U}_q)\) he uses a new combinatorial approach to generalize the binomial formula in obtaining explicitly the operator-valued reproducing kernels of the K-irreducible spaces. By looking primarily into the analytic structure of the inverse coefficients of the Bergman kernel, which appear in an invariant hermitian inner product, he discusses irreducibility, composition series, and unitarizability of the subquotients for every Harish-Chandra module. The latter is obtained in the analytic continuation of the holomorphic discrete series representations of \(SU{p,q}\).
