Principal series of quaternionic and real split exceptional Lie groups induced from Heisenberg parabolic subgroups

Abstract

Let $G/K$ be an irreducible quaternionic symmetric space of rank $4$. We study the principal series representation $\ddot{I}{€}_{\hat{I}}½={\text{Ind}}_P^G(1\otimes e^{\hat{I}}½\otimes 1)$ of $G$ induced from the Heisenberg parabolic subgroup $P=MAN$ realized on $L^2(K/L)$, $L=K\cap M$. We find the $K$-types in the induced representation via a double cover $K/L_0\to K/L$ and a circle bundle $K/L_0\to K/L_1$ over a compact Hermitian symmetric space $K/L_1$. We compute the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$-action of $G$ on the representation space. We find the complementary series, reducible points, and unitary subrepresentations in this family of representations.
