T. J. Enright and V. S. Varadarajan [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 102, 1-15 (1975; Zbl 0304.22011)] defined a certain class of irreducible representations of a noncompact semisimple Lie group related to a Hermitian symmetric space which are called Enright-Varadarajan representations. The author finds a subclass of unitarizable Enright- Varadarajan representations of the Lie algebra $$u(p,q)$$ of the group $$U(p,q)$$. The orthonormal bases are constructed for them which are an analogue of the Gel’fand-Tsetlin basis. It is interesting that the Gel’fand-Graev representations of the Lie algebra $$u(p,q)$$ belong to the subclass of unitary representations obtained in this article.
