L...-harmonic Analysis on Semi-Direct products of Abelian Groups.
We give a construction of an analytic series of uniformly bounded representations of a free group G, through the action of G on its Poisson boundary. These representations are irreducible and give as their coefficients all the spherical functions on G which tend to zero at infinity. The principal and the complementary series of unitary representations are included. We also prove that this construction and the other known constructions lead to equivalent representations.
Radial convolution operators on free groups with nonnegative kernel of weak type (2,2) and of restricted weak type (2,2) are characterized. Estimates of weak type (p,p) are obtained as well for 1 < p < 2.
