A Unifying Framework for Complex-Valued Eigenfunctions via The Cartan Embedding

Differential Geometry 2025-02-20 v1

Abstract

In this work we find a unifying scheme for the known explicit complex-valued eigenfunctions on the classical compact Riemannian symmetric spaces. For this we employ the well-known Cartan embedding for those spaces. This also leads to the construction of new eigenfunctions on the quaternionic Grassmannians.
