On connections, geodesics and sprays in synthetic differential geometry
We study the absolute continuity of the convolution of two orbital measures on the symmetric space SO₀(p,q)/SO(p)×SO(q), q > p. We prove sharp conditions on X,Y ∈ for the existence of the density of the convolution measure. This measure intervenes in the product formula for the spherical functions. We show that the sharp criterion developed for SO₀(p,q)/SO(p)×SO(q) also serves for the spaces SU(p,q)/S(U(p)×U(q)) and Sp(p,q)/Sp(p)×Sp(q), q > p. We moreover apply our results to the study of...
