Complementary series and exotic Sobolev norms

It is known that complementary series representations of the Lorentz groups can be realized on eigenspaces of the Laplacian on hyperbolic space. The author gives an explicit formula for the norm on the eigenspace, at least for the \(K\)-finite eigenfunctions and a portion of the complementary series. The norm is given by a variant of the usual Sobolev norm involving two derivatives in \(L^ 2\) with the exotic feature that the integrand assumes both positive and negative values. Similar results are obtained for the groups \(SO(p,q)\) in terms of eigenspaces of the Laplacian on semi-Riemannian spaces of constant curvature. It is not clear whether any analogous results hold for more general groups.
