Cowling's conjecture on coefficient functions of Kunze–Stein groups

About 8 years old · traced to

Let GG be a Kunze–Stein group, and let π:G→B(Hπ)\pi:G\to B(H_\pi) be a unitary representation admitting a cyclic vector ξ∈Hπ\xi\in H_\pi. Write πξ,ξ(s)=⟨π(s)ξ,ξ⟩\pi_{\xi,\xi}(s)=\left\langle\pi(s)\xi,\xi\right\rangle and let AπA_\pi denote the associated coefficient space. Cowling's conjecture. If

πξ,ξ∈Lp(G)\pi_{\xi,\xi}\in L^p(G)

for some 2<p<∞2<p<\infty, then

Aπ⊂Lp(G).A_\pi\subset L^p(G).

This is a 1978 conjecture of Cowling concerning coefficient functions on Kunze–Stein groups. The paper presents a near solution, but the supplied text does not state that the conjecture is completely resolved.
