Review text

The purpose of this note is to give an explicit expression of the Harish-Chandra \(C\)-function of \(SU(n, 1)\) for the case when irreducible unitary representations of the maximal compact subgroup \(K= S(U(n)\times U(1))\) contain a one-dimensional unitary representation of \(M= S(U(n- 1)\times U(1))\). We compute the matrix element of the Harish-Chandra \(C\)-function with respect to the \(M\)-highest weight vector of the above \(M\)-type. Our main result will give a complete determination of the composition series of the representations which are induced from one-dimensional unitary representations of \(M\) and characters of the noncompact Cartan subalgebra. Moreover in order to prove the Paley-Wiener-type theorem, we need information on the positions of zeros and poles and their orders of the Harish-Chandra \(C\)-function for all every \(K\)-types which contain a certain \(M\)-type. Using analogous arguments as \textit{K. D. Johnson} and \textit{N. R. Wallach} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 229, 137-173 (1977; Zbl 0349.43010)], we obtain recursion formulae for the Harish-Chandra \(C\)-function.
