On Harish-Chandra's Plancherel theorem for Riemannian symmetric spaces

In this article we give an overview of the Plancherel theory for Riemannian symmetric spaces Z = G/K. In particular we illustrate recently developed methods in Plancherel theory for real spherical spaces by explicating them for Riemannian symmetric spaces, and we explain how Harish-Chandra's Plancherel theorem for Z can be proven from these methods.

On the little Weyl group of a real spherical space

In the present paper we further the study of the compression cone of a real spherical homogeneous space $Z=G/H$. In particular we provide a geometric construction of the little Weyl group of $Z$ introduced recently by Knop and Krötz. Our technique is based on a fine analysis of limits of conjugates of the subalgebra $\mathrm{Lie}(H)$ along one-parameter subgroups in the Grassmannian of subspaces of $\mathrm{Lie}(G)$. The little Weyl group is obtained as a finite reflection group generated by the reflections in the walls of the compression cone.

The most continuous part of the Plancherel decomposition for a real spherical space

In this article we give a precise description of the Plancherel decomposition of the most continuous part of $L^{2}(Z)$ for a real spherical homogeneous space $Z$. Our starting point is the recent construction of Bernstein morphisms by Delorme, Knop, Krötz and Schlichtkrull. The most continuous part decomposes into a direct integral of unitary principal series representations. We give an explicit construction of the $H$-invariant functionals on these principal series. We show that for generic induction data the multiplicity space equals the full space of $H$-invariant functionals. Finally, we determine the inner products on the multiplicity spaces by refining the Maass-Selberg relations.

Ellipticity and discrete series

We explain by elementary means why the existence of a discrete series representation of a real reductive group $G$ implies the existence of a compact Cartan subgroup of $G$. The presented approach has the potential to generalize to real spherical spaces.

The infinitesimal characters of discrete series for real spherical spaces

Let $Z=G/H$ be the homogeneous space of a real reductive group and a unimodular real spherical subgroup, and consider the regular representation of $G$ on $L^2(Z)$. It is shown that all representations of the discrete series, that is, the irreducible subrepresentations of $L^2(Z)$, have infinitesimal characters which are real and belong to a lattice. Moreover, let $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. Then each irreducible representation of $K$ occurs in a finite set of such discrete series representations only. Similar results are obtained for the twisted discrete series, that is, the discrete components of the space of square integrable sections of a line bundle, given by a unitary character on an abelian extension of $H$.

$K$-invariant cusp forms for reductive symmetric spaces of split rank one

Let $G/H$ be a reductive symmetric space of split rank $1$ and let $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. In a previous article the first two authors introduced a notion of cusp forms for $G/H$. We show that the space of cusp forms coincides with the closure of the $K$-finite generalized matrix coefficients of discrete series representations if and only if there exist no $K$-spherical discrete series representations. Moreover, we prove that every $K$-spherical discrete series representation occurs with multiplicity $1$ in the Plancherel decomposition of $G/H$.

Cuspidal integrals and subseries for $\mathrm{SL}(3)/K_ε$

We show that for the symmetric spaces $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SO}(1,2)_{e}$ and $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{C})/\mathrm{SU}(1,2)$ the cuspidal integrals are absolutely convergent. We further determine the behavior of the corresponding Radon transforms and relate the kernels of the Radon transforms to the different series of representations occurring in the Plancherel decomposition of these spaces. Finally we show that for the symmetric space $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{H})/\mathrm{Sp}(1,2)$ the cuspidal integrals are not convergent for all Schwartz functions.

Normalizations of Eisenstein integrals for reductive symmetric spaces

We construct minimal Eisenstein integrals for a reductive symmetric space G/H as matrix coefficients of the minimal principal series of G. The Eisenstein integrals thus obtained include those from the σ-minimal principal series. In addition, we obtain related Eisenstein integrals, but with different normalizations. Specialized to the case of the group, this wider class includes Harish-Chandra's minimal Eisenstein integrals.

The notion of cusp forms for a class of reductive symmetric spaces of split rank one

We study a notion of cusp forms for the symmetric spaces G/H with G = SL(n,R) and H = S(GL(n-1,R) x GL(1,R)). We classify all minimal parabolic subgroups of G for which the associated cuspidal integrals are convergent and discuss the possible definitions of cusp forms. Finally, we show that the closure of the direct sum of the discrete series of representations of G/H coincides with the space of cusp forms.

Cusp forms for reductive symmetric spaces of split rank one

For reductive symmetric spaces G/H of split rank one we identify a class of minimal parabolic subgroups for which certain cuspidal integrals of Harish-Chandra - Schwartz functions are absolutely convergent. Using these integrals we introduce a notion of cusp forms and investigate its relation with representations of the discrete series for G/H.
