Abstract: The group $Diff$ of diffeomorphisms of the circle is an infinite dimensional analog of the real semisimple Lie groups $U(p,q)$, $Sp(2n,R)$, $S{O}^{\ast }(2n)$; the space $Xi$ of univalent functions is an analog of the corresponding classical complex Cartan domains. We present explicit formulas for realizations of highest weight representations of $Diff$ in the space of holomorphic functionals on $Xi$, reproducing kernels on $Xi$ determining inner products, and expressions ('canonical cocycles') replacing spherical functions.

Review text

Let \(\mathrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{R})\) be the group of \(2\times2\) real matrices with determinant 1, \(\mathrm{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{R})\) be its quotient with respect to the center, and \(\mathrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{R})^{\sim}\) be its universal covering group. The main result is the following theorem. a) The subgroup \(\mathrm{PSL}_2 (\mathbb{R})\) is spherical in the group of \(C^3\) orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle (denoted by \(\mathrm{Diff}^3\)). b) The subgroup \(\mathrm{PSL}_{2} ^{\sim} (\mathbb{R})\) is spherical in the group \(\widetilde{\mathrm{Diff}}^3\) which is the central extension of \(\mathrm{Diff}^3\) determined by the Bott cocycle.
