In mathematical harmonic analysis, Harish-Chandra's Ξ function is a special spherical function on a semisimple Lie group, studied by Harish-Chandra (1966, section 16).
Harish-Chandra used it to define Harish-Chandra's Schwartz space.
Wallach (1988, 4.5) gives a detailed description of the properties of Ξ.
