The spectrum of Kleinian manifolds

Abstract

A Kleinian manifold Y is a quotient of a rank-one symmetric space of non-compact type by a convex-cocompact discrete group of isometries. We describe the spectral decomposition of the space of square integrable sections of locally homogeneous bundles on Y with respect to locally invariant differential operators. In the course of the proof we obtain meromorphic continuations of Eisenstein series and scattering matrices.
