Representation Theory 2026-03-06 v2

Abstract

In this article we give an overview of the Plancherel theory for Riemannian symmetric spaces Z = G/K. In particular we illustrate recently developed methods in Plancherel theory for real spherical spaces by explicating them for Riemannian symmetric spaces, and we explain how Harish-Chandra's Plancherel theorem for Z can be proven from these methods.
