Hardy spaces for non-compactly causal symmetric spaces amd the most continuous spectrum
Simon Gindikin, Bernhard Krötz, and Gestur Ólafsson
Let $G/H$ be a semisimple symmetric space. Then the space $L^2(G/H)$ can be decomposed into a finite sum of series representations induced from parabolic subgroups of $G$. The most continuous part of the spectrum of $L^2(G/H)$ is the part induced from the smallest possible parabolic subgroup. In this paper we introduce Hardy spaces canonically related to this part of the spectrum for a class of non-compactly causal symmetric spaces. The Hardy space is a reproducing Hilbert space of holomorphic functions living on a tube type bounded symmetric space, containing $G/H$ as a boundary component. A boundary value map is constructed and we show that it induces an $G$-isomorphism onto a multiplicity free subspace of full spectrum in the most continuous part $L_{\rm mc}^2(G/H)$ of $L^2(G/H)$. We also relate our Hardy space with the classical Hardy space on the tube domain.
