Abstract:
Explicit form of Fourier expansion of automorphic forms plays an important role in the theory. Here we investigate the case of $SU(2,1)$ and give an explicit formula of generalized Whittaker functions for the standard representations of the group. Together with a result of [K-O], we obtain a form of fully developed Fourier expansion of automorphic forms belonging to arbitrary standard representations.
