Binder (part I of II) of material on O(2,1) from Phil's Berkeley years. It includes a scanned 1966 Soviet Journal of Nuclear Physics paper by Azimov on angular functions with complex angular momenta, covering generalized Legendre functions P and Q and hypergeometric relations. It also has handwritten calculations and Phil's typed critical notes on Cronström's 1974 diagonalization preprint. The OCR is noisy in the handwritten parts.

The question istofind out: whatidoes hedo, what does henot do?!
Iwill take some typed notes then punmarize attheend.
2.Integral equgtion forthescattering mplitude. | Hestarts here bywriting #standard integral equation where a4qruns over all‘spacetime. Hegoes toversor ‘notation, quoting old Sertetio
|and Toller, and separates integral; into timelike versor piece plus spacelike
versor piece (does notusetheword “versor". )Hisgroup variables are
&@boost and arotatiom, soI's say! hewas definitely intheTbasis.

3.Thegeneralized 0(1,2) transforms.~Quotes fromhisearlier pdpers~First; sectiow #3doesthe@;(chb)transform. Heshowshowyouinvert! theQjprojection, andshowstheeis

aso-called Qj(i shb)transform, Ie,hewrites projection then searches
forinversions Lots of,orud about‘phat classew offunctions you cando
this for. H ao
4.The j-plane equations. '
Holy cow! Ithink he’does' everything via the kinematic k-function
method, Hewrites. theabstracted integral equatiom and replaces the
azimith byatheat(c)/SQRT(k) thing. luch yak about convergence etc.Thenhegetwallvlost in@thingthatlooksTikeuyQj-separation-integral,butheintagrates onlyfrosi1toinfthascasuinglot&afextra.terus. @ _Next, herepeats allthis for spacelike versor case, 4B. The .
@agonalined equation appbars a4,26 which has @j-intégral initand
somé kernel stuff. Them 4.91 gives his total result: not very enlightening
tome, who has spent months atthis game,
5.Reduction ofthe j-plane equation to albegra. -
_ This isjustamess. Compares toSerferio Toller.
6.Summary andDiscussion 1
OK, here hesays what hedoes, good summary. Sesks’ énapprosch to

I. Introduction
There areseveral reasons forstudying thereduction (3,1) 2
(2,1): theintrinsic interest ofthetopic; theelucidation oftherol
of"second-kind” functions;!) thepossible application toRegge
theory; and, most pertinent tothis symposium, thestudy ofhow
things can gowrong ifwechoose anunusual basis. Since there are
50many reductions ofSO(4,2), itmay beofinterest toexamine the
unexpected behavior ofsuch awell known group asSL(2,C) inan
sU(1,1) basis.
‘The results Ishall present arebynomeans allnew: the,

This paper strikes measrather acurivsity. Inthe case of2to2
scattering (which igtheonly’cast theytreat),“the authors” writethe
spinless amplitude interms of(#4) inplace ofustidl (s,t). These new
variables arejust coordinates ofapoint ona velocity hyperboloid. See, eg,

8channel, lower sheet points are the t-channel.
Once you have your scattering amplitude defined onan0(2,1) surface, it
isclear that some kind of0(2,1) expansion will work out. Itwas shown in
anearlier paper that ifyou want some 0(2,1) functions that separate in
the4(sense (ie,separate inelliptic coprdinates), thenyoumustdiagonalize
theusual 0(2,1) casimit aswellas(K,*-J3). Also, certain reflections

£8,Whyisthis method better than theusual 0(2,1) little group method?
Answer: for spinless 2-2 case, the littlge group method would
replace swith group variable z,but would leave tfixed, ie, aone-varialbe
expansion. The two-variable expansion gets both variables into agroup

1.Introduction. Henotes that there’ iban“interest inthis matter, due to
RoarbaneléSaunders, Cronstrom&Xthik, JonesLow Young; separately-Ruhl. ‘There
are two separate methods:’ distribution, and special functions; wewill only
consider the second one: . :
Claims that the éntire theory’ rests onasimple integrat repation between the
Pand Qfunctions, (Iagree). Talks about you have achoise: either take a
divergent recovery, ofanogood. projection. The problem isnot really' solved.
*Tosolve this problem, Mac will use thehyperboloid/cone technique “ofGa.
Hewill dothis for the general case SO(n,1), then atthe end will consider our
special case of0(2,1). Should beinteresting. Mentions some-"later paper".
2.The Gél'Fand-Graev Transform. xDefine the following junk:
H=upper hyperboldid with points uand measure dw :
K=upper light-cone with points kand measure dk
Suppose’ you integrate some function f(u) over thepart ofthe hyperb which satisfies
the condition u.kel for some fixed konthe-light cone K; This surface isIthink
asurface ofone dimension less than the hyperb and iscalled ahorosphere .YoucandothisforeachkonK,andthereby youconstruct afunction F(k)onthe light-cone!‘
GGV book shows that iff(u) isvery nice (compact support), then F(k) is
e infinitely differentiable andvanishes at’infinitey andattheorigin ofthe‘Light’ cone.
Creating F(k) from f(u) inthis way (integrating over ahorosphere) iscalled
the Gel'fand-Graev transform.
P= space offunctions onHf(u) which are polynomially bounded.
Fy,=subspace ofPwhich havecompact supprt, called f,(u) 1Fp=subspace ofPoffunctions which grow faster than /v/*™, where
. »nis ofcourse the 0(n,1) dimension.
Q=space offunctions which are linear combinations ofthe appropriate
Gegenbaur functions for, this value ofn,These fufictions' aré polynomials,
like theLegendre polynomials for0(2,1) case. Variable ¢ishyberbolic variable as usual. .
Lemma 1says: ifyour funckimn f{u) grows faskex than axcertzim pawarxxx no.If
your function has certain integer fixed powers init, then the GGT screws up
‘and does not exist. The exact type of“disallowed power” depends onwhetner
niseven orodd integer. Also, the "kernel" ofthe GGT consists offunctions
inthe space Qdefined above.
Sothe conclusion is: aslong asyou, avoid certain singular cases, the GGT
generalized toany. power bounded functiin’ isvalid. Wehave successfully converted
our representation from functions onthe hyperb into arepresentationx with
functions moving onacone. Reminds meofKalnins.
3.The Inversion Formula. Ifsomeone gives you F(k), how doyou reconstruct f(u)?
e Theanswer isgiven hereasTheorem 1.Notethatyourecover yourstarting functionmodulo arbitrary functions inthe space Q. This does not seem helpful...

4,Laplace Transform. Recall thatkwasapointon'the cone. Through sucha®pointthereisaLinepassingthroughtheoriginofthe.cone. Macsaystodoafourier analysis progection byintegrating the function over: this semi-infinite
lime. -Or, toget ‘convergence ,only gohalf way and you have your "honesxt"
Laplace transform. The projection isnowafunction ofsome "9"parameter,
but itisalso afunction ofIthink the azimuth ofthe cone defining your line.Thus,weseef(k,9.) ,If-we combine‘this true Laplace projection with: the GGT generaization given
in(8), wegetthe full "Laplace. projection:" (29) with kernel (32). Not too
messy atthat! oo woes ‘
5.Laplace Inversion, Now mess around bycombining the nsual Leplace inversion
with the GGT inversion.
Full result is stated as Theorem 2.
Comments: itispointed out‘that ow inthe recovery formul you can move the
contour tothe left andhave your backgrouhd integration disappear. Thus, he
has solved aproblem which earlier -had causéd trouble. Secondly, itisnoted
that inthe even case only, n=evén, you get some" sums inthe recovery. Bery
reminiscent .of the "discrete series” of usual threyr. Nut henotes that abaloid
really ¢annot, dodiscrete series. Not fully understood. -
Earlier, restriction, 6nthetransform isremovd inLemma§.
«The0(2,1) case. Heshows that ifyoustart with thePandQfunctions and
compute the GGT, .you get very Simple first and second kind functions onthe
cone,verynice,indeed. . . ‘ ry Thé P-projection asshown in(50) isexactly the same asdoing afourier
projection onthe cone. 1
But the Q-projection isnot like doing aLaplace transformation onthe
cone because, Igather, there isanextra tangent factor floating around. Not
very clear why the Q.fails the criterion. *
Recall thet hewas saying inthe. very beginning that the Q-projection idea
was non-generalizeable tohigher groups.
Anyway, hedoes not saywhat. the.0(2,1),trye Laplace. looks like inu-space.

ofthis paper goes into handling Wigner coefficients for su(1,1), continued
from su(2) somehow. These notes will only concern what the authors sa
‘about things other than Wigner coefficients.
