Abstract
Let G be an acceptable connected semi-simple Lie group with finite center, Ĝ its unitary dual. Let Ĝ d be the discrete series for G. Given Û ∊ Ĝ d , let To denote its character, d Û its formal dimension — then, as is known, the distribution
represents the contribution of the discrete series to the Plancherel formula for G. This being so, the primary objectives of the present chaper are as follows:
-
(1)
Determine when the set Ĝ d is non-empty;
-
(2)
Describe explicitly the entities d Û , T Û (Û ∊ Ĝ d ) and T d .
