Abstract
We generalize the classical construction of Forelli, Rudin and Ligocka, expressing the Bergman kernel of a Hartogs domain in terms of weighted Bergman kernels on its base, to the situation when the “fiber” of the Hartogs domain is, instead of the disc or the ball, an arbitrary irreducible bounded symmetric domain.

Notes
1 The hypothesis of irreducibility is unessential and is made only for the sake of simplicity.
2 The support of dσ is actually a fairly small subset of ∂Ω F , related to the Shilov boundary of F.
