Abstract
The Gell-Mann formula for analytically continuing group representations is worked out explicitly for more cases than in previous work, and extended to certain pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces. The method of finding the asymptotic behavior of matrix elements of group representations introduced in Part V is developed in more detail and it is shown how it leads to new mathematical problems in the theory of dynamical systems and Hilbert space theory.
