Abstract:
Let $π$ be a principal series representation of $G=Sp(2,\Bbb R)$ induced from the maximal parabolic subgroup of $G$ with non-abelian unipotent radical. We show that Whittaker functions on $G$ corresponding to a certain $K$-finite vector of $π$ have simple integral expressions of Mellin-Barnes type. As an application, we compute the real component of Novodvorsky's zeta integral for $GSp(2) × GL(2)$ in a special case.
