Abstract:
The Mellin transform of Whittaker functions gives the archimedean factor of the automorphic $L$-functions. Hence it is very important to obtain explicit formulae of Whittaker functions. In this paper, we obtain explicit formulae of discrete series Whittaker functions of $SU(n, 1)$ and $Spin(2n, 1)$ $(n\geq2)$.
