Abstract
We prove a spanning result for vector-valued Poincaré series on a bounded symmetric domain. We associate a sequence of holomorphic automorphic forms to a submanifold of the domain. When the domain is the unit ball in
C
n
, we provide estimates for the norms of these automorphic forms and we find asymptotics of the norms (as the weight goes to infinity) for a class of totally real submanifolds. We give an example of a CR submanifold of the ball, for which the norms of the associated automorphic forms have a different asymptotic behaviour.
