The $Cos^\lambda$ and $Sin^\lambda$ Transforms as Intertwining Operators   between generalized principal series Representations of SL (n+1,K)
  In this article we connect topics from convex and integral geometry with well known topics in representation theory of semisimple Lie groups by showing that the $Cos^\lamda$ and $Sin^\lambda$-transforms on the Grassmann manifolds $Gr_p(K)=SU (n+1,K)/S (U (p,K)\times U (n+1-p,K))$ are standard intertwining operators between certain generalized principal series representations induced from a maximal parabolic subgroup $P_p$ of $SL (n+1,K)$. The index ${}_p$ indicates the dependence of the parabolic on p. The general results of Knapp and Stein and Vogan and Wallach then show that both transforms have meromorphic extension to C and are invertible for generic $\lambda\in C$. Furthermore, known methods from representation theory combined with a Selberg type integral allow us to determine the K-spectrum of those operators.
