Abstract:
Let $π$ be a generalized principal series representation with respect to the Jacobi parabolic subgroup or a large discrete series representation of $G=Sp(2,\Bbb R)$. A spherical function is the image of a $K$-finite vector by the intertwining operator from $π$ to the {\rep } induced from an irreducible unitary representation of $SL(2,\Bbb R)^2$ in $G$. We obtain differential equations for the spherical functions except for a few cases. We write down the solutions of these differential equations by means of the Gaussian hypergeometric functions.
