The symmetric space duality between the complex hyperbolic plane H2(C) = SU(2, 1) / U(2) and the complex projective plane P2(C) = SU(3) / U(2) also becomes apparent in the theory of matrix valued spherical functions associated to both spaces. This is stressed in this paper by proving a three term recursion relation for a family of matrix valued functions built up from the spherical functions associated to H2(C).
Keywords: Dual Hermitian symmetric spaces, principal series, tensor product, multiplication formula, matrix hypergeometric function.
