Degenerate principal series representations and their holomorphic extensions

Abstract: Let

X = H / L

be an irreducible real bounded symmetric domain realized as a real form in an Hermitian symmetric domain

D = G / K

. The intersection

S

of the Shilov boundary of

D

with

X

defines a distinguished subset of the topological boundary of

X

and is invariant under

H

and can also be realized as

S = H / P

for certain parabolic subgroup

P

of

H

. We study the spherical representations

I n d_{P}^{H} (l a m)

of

H

induced from

P

. We find formulas for the spherical functions in terms of the Macdonald

_{2} F_{1}

hypergeometric function. This generalizes the earlier result of Faraut-Koranyi for Hermitian symmetric spaces

D

. We consider a class of

H

-invariant integral intertwining operators from the representations

I n d_{P}^{H} (l a m)

on

L^{2} (S)

to the holomorphic representations of

G

on

D

restricted to

H

. We construct a new class of complementary series for the groups

H = S O (n, m)

,

S U (n, m)

(with

n - m > 2

) and

S p (n, m)

(with

n - m > 1

). We realize them as a discrete component in the branching rule of the analytic continuation of the holomorphic discrete series of

G = S U (n, m)

,

S U (n, m) i m e s S U (n, m)

and

S U (2 n, 2 m)

respectively.
