Abstract: | The problem of restricting a highest weight representation of the group U(p, q) to the subgroup O(p, q) is considered. This restriction has an intricate spectrum that contains representations of different types. We construct
a decomposition of this representation into reducible representations each of which has a single-type spectrum.
Some integrals over classical groups are also calculated; these integrals generalize those of Hua.
