The regular representation of O (n, N) acting on L 2 (O (n, N) O (n, N− 1)) is decomposed into a direct integral of irreducible representations. The homogeneous space O (n, N) O (n, N− 1) is realized as the Hyperboloid H={(x, t) ϵ R n+ N:¦ t¦ 2−¦ x¦ 2= 1}. The problem is essentially equivalent to finding the spectral resolution of a certain self-adjoint invariant differential operator□ h on H, which is the tangential part of the operator□= Δ x− Δ t on R n+ N. The spectrum of□ h contains a discrete part (except when N= 1) with eigenfunctions generated by restricting to H solutions of□ u= 0 which vanish in the region¦ t¦<¦ x¦, and a continuous part H−. As a representation of O (n, N), H−⊕ H− is unitarily equivalent to the regular representation on L 2 of the cone {(x, t):¦ x¦ 2=¦ t¦ 2}, and the intertwining operator is obtained by solving the equation□ u= 0 with given boundary values on the cone. Explicit formulas are given for the spectral decomposition. The special case n= N= 2 gives the Plancherel formula for SL (2, R).
