Analysis on flat symmetric spaces
Résumé
By taking an appropriate zero-curvature limit, we obtain the spherical functions on flat symmetric spaces G_o/K as limits of the Harish-Chandra's spherical functions. New and explicit formulas for the spherical functions on G_o/K are given. For symmetric spaces with root system of type A_n, we find the Taylor expansion of the spherical functions on G_o/K in a series of the Jack polynomials.
