Let G be a semisimple Lie group with Iwasawa decomposition G = KAN. Let X = G/K be the associated symmetric space and assume that X is of rank one. Let M be the centraliser of A in K and consider an orthonormal basis Y δ , j : δ K ̂ , 1 j d δ of L²(K/M) consisting of K-finite functions of type δ on K/M. For a function f on X let f̃(λ,b), λ ∈ ℂ, be the Helgason Fourier transform. Let h t be the heat kernel associated to the Laplace-Beltrami operator and let Q δ ( i λ + ϱ ) be the Kostant polynomials. We establish the following version of Hardy’s theorem for the Helgason Fourier transform: Let f be a function on G/K which satisfies | f ( k a r ) | C h t ( r ) . Further assume that for every δ and j the functions F δ , j ( λ ) = Q δ ( i λ + ϱ ) - 1 K / M f ̃ ( λ , b ) Y δ , j ( b ) d b satisfy the estimates | F δ , j ( λ ) | C δ , j e - t λ ² for λ ∈ ℝ. Then f is a constant multiple of the heat kernel h t .

Let M be the centraliser of A in K and consider an orthonormal basis ${Y_{δ,j}: δ ∈ K̂₀, 1 ≤ j ≤ d_{δ}}$ of L²(K/M) consisting of K-finite functions of type δ on K/M. For a function f on X let f̃(λ,b), λ ∈ ℂ, be the Helgason Fourier transform. Let $h_{t}$ be the heat kernel associated to the Laplace-Beltrami operator and let $Q_{δ}(iλ + ϱ)$ be the Kostant polynomials. We establish the following version of Hardy’s theorem for the Helgason Fourier transform: Let f be a function on G/K which satisfies $|f(ka_{r})| ≤ Ch_{t}(r)$. Further assume that for every δ and j the functions $F_{δ,j}(λ) = Q_{δ}(iλ +ϱ)^{-1} ∫_{K/M} f̃(λ,b)Y_{δ,j}(b)db$ satisfy the estimates $|F_{δ,j}(λ)| ≤ C_{δ,j}e^{-tλ²}$ for λ ∈ ℝ. Then f is a constant multiple of the heat kernel $h_{t}$.
