Stable semi-groups of measures on the Heisenberg group
We consider the heat kernel corresponding to the left invariant sub-Laplacian with drift term in the first commutator of the Lie algebra, on a nilpotent Lie group. We improve the results obtained by G. Alexopoulos in [1], [2] proving the “exact Gaussian factor” exp(-|g|²/4(1+ε)t) in the large time upper Gaussian estimate for . We also obtain a large time lower Gaussian estimate for .
In this survey article, I shall give an overview on some recent developments concerning the -functional calculus for sub-Laplacians on exponential solvable Lie groups. In particular, I shall give an outline on some recent joint work with W. Hebisch and J. Ludwig on sub-Laplacians which are of holomorphic -type, in the sense that every -spectral multiplier for will be holomorphic in some domain.
We find the minimal real number k such that the kth power of the Fourier transform of any continuous, orbital measure on a classical, compact Lie group belongs to l2. This results from an investigation of the pointwise behaviour of characters on these groups. An application is given to the study of Lp-improving measures.
Pointwise upper bounds for characters of compact, connected, simple Lie groups are obtained which enable one to prove that if μ is any central, continuous measure and n exceeds half the dimension of the Lie group, then . When μ is a continuous, orbital measure then is seen to belong to . Lower bounds on the p-norms of characters are also obtained, and are used to show that, as in the abelian case, m-fold products of Sidon sets are not p-Sidon if p < 2m/(m+1).
We prove the Paley-Wiener theorem for the Helgason Fourier transform of smooth compactly supported 𝔳-radial functions on a Damek-Ricci space S = NA.
