The paper starts with a survey of recent developments about the geometry and analysis of causal symmetric spaces: classification of invariant causal structures, spherical functions and spherical Laplace transform on noncompactly causal symmetric spaces, Hardy spaces associated with compactly causal symmetric spaces. Then the author proposes several open problems: Product formula for the \(c\)-function of a noncompactly causal symmetric space (this formula has been proved recently by B. Krötz and G. Ólafsson), Paley-Wiener theorem for the spherical Laplace transform, Inversion of the Abel transform, Determination of the spherical functions, Relation between the characters of the relative holomorphic discrete series of a compactly causal symmetric space and the spherical functions of the dual noncompactly causal symmetric space, Determination of the Cauchy-Szegő kernel.
