Abstract

We give a geometric account of Harish-Chandra's principle that a tempered irreducible representation of a real reductive group is either square-integrable modulo center, or embeddable in a representation that is parabolically induced from such a representation. Our approach uses the Satake compactification, an associated groupoid that was constructed in the first paper of this series, and its CC^*-algebra.
