Kuit", "Eitan Sayag" ], "categories": [ "math.RT" ], "abstract": "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, Kr\\\"otz 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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-02-04T13:09:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20G20", "22E46", "22F30", "43A85" ], "keywords": [ "real spherical space", "plancherel decomposition", "invariant functionals", "unitary principal series representations", "generic induction data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
