Abstract

The group $\text{Diff}\left( {{S}^{1}} \right)$ of diffeomorphisms of the circle is an infinite dimensional analog of the real semisimple Lie groups $\text{U}(p,q)$, $\text{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$, $\text{SO}^*(2n)$; the space $Ξ$ of univalent functions is an analog of the corresponding classical complex Cartan domains. We present explicit formulas for realizations of highest weight representations of $\text{Diff}\left( {{S}^{1}} \right)$ in the space of holomorphic functionals on $Ξ$, reproducing kernels on $Ξ$ determining inner products, and expressions ('canonical cocycles') replacing spherical functions.
