Let G be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center and K its maximal compact subgroup. Let \({\mathfrak g}\) be the complexified Lie algebra of G. The author defines two exact functors \(V\to V_{\min}\) and \(V\to V_{\max}\), called minimal and maximal globalization, respectively, from the category of Harish-Chandra modules for (\({\mathfrak g},K)\) into the category of global representations of G. If a Harish-Chandra module is the module of K-finite vectors in a Banach representation \((\pi,V_{\pi})\) of G, the natural inclusion of the minimal globalization into the space \(V_{\pi}^{\omega}\) of analytic vectors in \(V_{\pi}\) is an isomorphism of topological vector spaces. Dually, the space of hyperfunction vectors \(V_{\pi}^{-\omega}\) of \(V_{\pi}\) is topologically isomorphic to the maximal globalization.
A number of interesting consequences of these results (including a new proof of Helgason’s conjecture about the spaces of joint eigenfunctions of G-invariant differential operators on the Riemannian symmetric space G/K) is discussed. Full details will appear elsewhere.
