Boundary values of holomorphic functions and some spectral problems for unitary representations

Abstract

We consider hilbert spaces of holomorphic functions in Cartan domains (in particular in ball and polydisk) and operator of restriction of holomorphic function to a submanifold in Shilov boundary. We discuss conditions when this operator exists. Using such 'trace theorems' it is possible to construct discrete increments to spectra of some unitary representation and to catch singular unitary representations in the spectra. We also discuss spectral problems related to Berezin type kernels on riemann symmetric spaces.
