Audit review

The paper’s SU(n,1) spectral correspondence (Theorem 6.5) gives the same characterization as the candidate solution: at exceptional parameters µ=−(ρ+2ℓα), the socle is the irreducible, unitarizable subrepresentation with K-types Y_{p,q} (p,q≥ℓ+1), and the minimal K-type Poisson transform is an isomorphism onto Γ-invariant sections valued in Y_{ℓ+1,ℓ+1} satisfying the first-order system (i)–(vi). The paper proves surjectivity via an explicit Fourier construction, while the model argues via general intertwining/gradient identities and representation theory. The statements, operators, scalars, and K-type decompositions align closely with the paper’s Lemma 3.13 and Theorem 6.5, including the non–M-spherical constituents V1,V2 and the vanishing conditions Djψ=0. Hence both are correct with different proof styles.

Referee report (LaTeX)

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field

\textbf{Justification:}

The arguments are correct and complete for rank one, with a particularly clear SU(n,1) treatment. The paper delivers a new geometric realization via first-order invariant systems and completes the exceptional-parameter picture. Minor editorial improvements could further streamline the exposition of the SU(n,1) case and the transition between methods.
