    In the paper under review the author solves the problem of determining the space of generalized functions on an open subset, \(\mathcal{U}\), of the finite-dimensional real Lie algebra \({\mathfrak s}{\mathfrak l} (2,\mathbb{R})\) with values in a finite-dimensional \({\mathfrak s}{\mathfrak l}(2,\mathbb{R})\)-module, \(V\), which are locally invariant, and the action of the classical family algebra on which is locally finite. In the case of the trivial module \(V\) the problem was solved by \textit{Harish-Chandra} in [Am. J. Math. 86, 534--564 (1964; Zbl 0161.33804)] and [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 27, 5-54 (1965; Zbl 0199.46401)] (for an arbitrary finite-dimensional real Lie algebra). It is shown that in the case when \(\mathcal{U}\) is \({\mathfrak s}{\mathfrak l}(2,\mathbb{R})\)-invariant, every generalized function as above is determined by its restriction to \(\mathcal{U}\setminus\mathcal{N}\), where \(\mathcal{N}\) is the nilpotent cone, moreover, this restriction is analytic. It is noted that this property is false in general. Some applications of the main theorem to the superpfaffian are given.
