Tensor product surfaces in and Lie groups.
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.
By using the notion of contraction of Lie groups, we transfer estimates for joint spectral projectors from the unit complex sphere in to the reduced Heisenberg group hⁿ. In particular, we deduce some estimates recently obtained by H. Koch and F. Ricci on hⁿ. As a consequence, we prove, in the spirit of Sogge’s work, a discrete restriction theorem for the sub-Laplacian L on hⁿ.
