Discrete series Whittaker functions on $Spin(2n,2)$

Abstract

Discrete series Whittaker functions on $Spin(2n,2)$ are studied. The dimensions of the space of both algebraic and continuous Whittaker models are explicitly determined. They are described by a sum of dimensions of irreducible representations of $Spin(2n-3,2)$. Also obtained are the Mellin-Barnes type integral formulas of the Whittaker functions associated with minimal $K$-type vectors.
