Abstract: Following ideas of van Dijk and Hille we study the link which exists between maximal degenerate representations and Berezin kernels. We consider the conformal group

m C o n f (V)

of a simple real Jordan algebra

V

. The maximal degenerate representations

p i_{s}

(

s i n m a t h b b C

) we shall study are induced by a character of a maximal parabolic subgroup

of

m C o n f (V)

. These representations

p i_{s}

can be realized on a space

I_{s}

of smooth functions on

V

. There is an invariant bilinear form

{m a t h f r a k B}_{s}

on the space

I_{s}

. The problem we consider is to diagonalize this bilinear form

{m a t h f r a k B}_{s}

, with respect to the action of a symmetric subgroup

G

of the conformal group

m C o n f (V)

. This bilinear form can be written as an integral involving the Berezin kernel

B_{u}

, an invariant kernel on the Riemannian symmetric space

G / K

, which is a Makarevich symmetric space in the sense of Bertram. Then we can use results by van Dijk and Pevzner who computed the spherical Fourier transform of
