At that time, only basic technical approaches were available, and new discoveries depended on few results and lots of deductions.

Branching Laws for Discrete Wallach Points

We consider the (projective) representations of the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a symmetric tube domain V ⊕ iΩ that are obtained by analytic continuation of the holomorphic discrete series. For a representation corresponding to a discrete point in the Wallach set, we find the decomposition under restriction to the identity component of GL(Ω). Using Riesz distributions, an explicit int...

A major emphasis of his research was refining the concept of the organizer [6], now referred to as embryonic induction [7]. He was born on 4 November 1891 in Auenstein, Germany, and came from what Viktor Hamburger [8], a colleague and personal acquaintance, described as ?peasant...
