What is the Harish Chandra function?

56 Views Asked by At

I'm struggling to find a definition of the Harish Chandra function (usually denoted $\Xi$) online. Could you tell me what it is? There is a definition on wikipedia that I asked about in this post, but I don't understand the notation used there.

what does $\cdot^\rho$ mean in the Harish-Chandra function?
