contents Generalizing the well-known construction of Eisenstein series on the modular curves, Siegel-Veech transforms provide a natural construction of square-integrable functions on strata of differentials on Riemannian surfaces. This space carries actions of the foliated Laplacian derived from the SL(2,R)-action as well as various differential operators related to relative period translations. In the paper we give spectral decompositions for the stratum of tori with two marked points. This is a homogeneous space for a special affine group, which is not reductive and thus does not fall into well-studied cases of the Langlands program, but still allows to employ techniques from representation theory and global analysis. Even for this simple stratum exhibiting all Siegel-Veech transforms requires novel configurations of saddle connections. We also show that the contiunuous spectrum of the foliated Laplacian is much larger than the space of Siegel-Veech transforms, as opposed to the case of the modular curve. This defect can be remedied by using instead a compound Laplacian involving relative period translations.
