Contribution à l'analyse harmonique sphérique
We study two related questions. (1) For a compact group G, what are the ranges of the convolution maps on A(G × G) given for u,v in A(G) by u × v ↦ u*v̌ (v̌(s) = v(s^-1)) and u × v ↦ u*v? (2) For a locally compact group G and a compact subgroup K, what are the amenability properties of the Fourier algebra of the coset space A(G/K)? The algebra A(G/K) was defined and studied by the first named author. In answering the first question, we obtain, for compact groups which do not...
We give universal upper bounds on the relative dimensions of isotypic components of a tensor product of representations of the linear group GL(n) and universal upper bounds on the relative dimensions of irreducible components of a tensor product of representations of the special linear group SL(n). This problem is motivated by harmonic analysis problems, and we give some applications to the theory of Beurling-Fourier algebras.
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 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 be the heat kernel associated to the Laplace-Beltrami operator and let be the Kostant polynomials. We establish the following version...
