A semi-group of probability measures with non-smooth differentiable densities on a Lie group
We prove a spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group by means of a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on If is a Schwartz class function we show that is supported in a ball of radius in if and only if for for all This is an analogue of Helgason’s support theorem on Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. When we show that the two conditions for imply a support theorem for a large class of functions with exponential growth. Surprisingly enough,this latter...
Let 𝓢(Hₙ) be the space of Schwartz functions on the Heisenberg group Hₙ. We define a spherical transform on 𝓢(Hₙ) associated to the action (by automorphisms) of U(p,q) on Hₙ, p + q = n. We determine its kernel and image and obtain an inversion formula analogous to the Godement-Plancherel formula.
It is well known that (U(p,q),Hₙ) is a generalized Gelfand pair. Applying the associated spectral analysis, we prove a theorem of Wiener Tauberian type for the reduced Heisenberg group, which generalizes a known result for the case p = n, q = 0.
We observe that the classical theorem of Hardy on Fourier transform pairs can be reformulated in terms of the heat kernel associated with the Laplacian on the Euclidean space. This leads to an interesting version of Hardy's theorem for the sublaplacian on the Heisenberg group. We also consider certain Rockland operators on the Heisenberg group and Schrödinger operators on ℝⁿ related to them.
