Spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces

Abstract

We summarize and announce some recent results initiating spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma \backslash G/H$, beyond the classical setting where $H$ is compact (e.g. theory of automorphic forms for arithmetic $\Gamma$) or $\Gamma$ is trivial (e.g. Plancherel-type formula for semisimple symmetric spaces).
