Abstracts:

T. Kobayashi: I will discuss a "framework" of branching problems for generalized Verma modules with respect to reductive symmetric pairs from the viewpoint of "discrete decomposability", and explain some basic results on the size of irreducible summands and multiplicities. As an application, I plan to explain a new and simple method to obtain Cohen-Rankin operators for holomorphic automorphic forms and Juhl's conformally equivariant differential operators together with their generalizations.

S. Helgason: For a general Radon transform injectivity is the first question. The question of a corresponding support theorem goes much further and usually requires stronger assumptions. I plan to discuss several support theorems for a Riemannian symmetric space relative to horocycles.

H. Schlichtkrull: The talk concerns joint work in progress with B. Krötz and E. Sayag. Consider a reductive homogeneous space Z=G/H and a unitary representation pi of G with an H-fixed distribution vector eta. We investigate properties of Z, which imply decay at infinity, and in particular L^p-integrability, of the matrix coefficients (pi(z)eta,v) on Z.
