Analysis in or the principal function theory (Q4487930)

We explore a function theory connected with the principal series representation of \(SL(2,\mathbb R)\) in contrast to standard complex analysis connected with the discrete series. We construct counterparts for the Cauchy integral formula, the Hardy space, the Cauchy-Riemann equation and the Taylor expansion. It was proposed in [\textit{V. V. Kisil}, How many essentially different function theories exists? in: \textit{V. Dietrich, K. Habetha}, and \textit{G. Jank} (eds.): Clifford algebras and their application in mathematical physics, Aachen 1996, Fundam. Theor. Phys. 94, 175-184 (1998; Zbl 0929.30035)] to distinguish essentially different function theories by corresponding group of symmetries. Such a classification is needed because not all seemingly different function theories are essentially different [\textit{V. V. Kisil}, Connection between different function theories in Clifford analysis. Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebr. 5, No. 1, 63-74 (1995; Zbl 0983.30021)]. But it is also important that the group approach gives a constructive way to develop essentially different function theories, as well as outlines an alternative ground for functional calculi of operators [\textit{V. V. Kisil}, Electron. Res. Announc. Am. Math. Soc. 2, No. 1, 26-33 (1996; Zbl 0869.47013)]. The theorem proved in [\textit{V. V. Kisil}, Towards to analysis in \({\mathbb R}^{p,q}\), in: \textit{W. Sprössig} and \textit{K. Gürlebeck} (eds.), Proceedings of the Symposium ``Analytical and numerical methods in quaternionic and Clifford analysis'', Seiffen, 1996, 95-100 (1996; Zbl 0882.30030)] underlines the similarity between structure of the group of Möbius transformations in spaces \({\mathbb R}^{n} \) and \({\mathbb R}^{pq}\). The present paper makes future steps in this direction.
