On the power of compact spaces
This is a short description of some results obtained by Ewa Damek, Andrzej Hulanicki, Richard Penney and Jacek Zienkiewicz. They belong to harmonic analysis on a class of solvable Lie groups called NA. We apply our results to analysis on classical Siegel domains.
On the domain S_a = {(x,e^b): x ∈ N, b ∈ ℝ, b > a} where N is a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, a certain N-left-invariant, second order, degenerate elliptic operator L is considered. N × {e^a} is the Poisson boundary for L-harmonic functions F, i.e. F is the Poisson integral F(xe^b) = ʃ_N f(xy)dμ^b_a(x), for an f in L^∞(N). The main theorem of the paper asserts that the maximal function M^a f(x) = sup{|ʃf(xy)dμ_a^b(y)| : b > a} is of weak type (1,1).
Let D be a symmetric irreducible Siegel domain. Pluriharmonic functions satisfying a certain rather weak growth condition are characterized by r+2 operators (r+1 in the tube case), r being the rank of the underlying symmetric cone
On a Lie group NA that is a split extension of a nilpotent Lie group N by a one-parameter group of automorphisms A, the heat semigroup generated by a second order subelliptic left-invariant operator is considered. Under natural conditions there is a -invariant measure m on N, i.e. . Precise asymptotics of m at infinity is given for a large class of operators with Y₀,...,Yₘ generating the Lie algebra of S.
