Isometry theorem for the Segal–Bargmann transform on a noncompact symmetric space of the complex type

We consider the Segal–Bargmann transform on a noncompact symmetric space of the complex type. We establish isometry and surjectivity theorems for the transform, in a form as parallel as possible to the results in the dual compact case. The isometry theorem involves integration over a tube of radius R in the complexification, followed by analytic continuation with respect to R. A cancellation of singularities allows the relevant integral to have a nonsingular extension to large R, even though the function being integrated has singularities. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
