Functions on symmetric spaces and oscillator representation (Q880105)

In the paper under review the author studies the \(L^2\)-functions on \(U(2n)/O(2n)\) and \(Mp(n,{\mathbb R})\) and relates them using the oscillator representation. The author gives a description of the matrix coefficients of the oscillator representation in terms of algebraic functions on \(U(2n)/O(2n)\). The structure of \(L^2(U(2n)/O(2n))\) enables him to decompose the \(L^2\)-space of odd functions on \(Mp(n,{\mathbb R})\) into a finite orthogonal direct sum, from which an orthogonal basis for \(L^2(Mp(n,{\mathbb R}))\) is obtained. In addition, this decomposition preserves both left and right \(Mp(n,{\mathbb R})\)-action. Using this, the author defines the signature of tempered genuine representations of \(Mp(n,{\mathbb R})\).
