We classify all Olshanski spherical functions of $(G_\\infty,K_\\infty)$ as functions on the cone $\\Pi_q$ of positive semidefinite $q\\times q$-matrices and show that they appear as (locally) uniform limits of spherical functions of $(G_p,K_p)$ as $p\\to\\infty$. The latter are given by Bessel functions on $\\Pi_q$. Moreover, we determine all positive definite Olshanski spherical functions and discuss related positive integral representations for matrix Bessel functions. We also extend the results to the pairs $(M_{p,q} \\rtimes (U_p\\times U_q),(U_p\\times U_q))$ which are related to the Cartan motion groups of non-compact Grassmannians. Here Dunkl-Bessel functions of type B (for finite $p$) and of type A (for $p\\to\\infty$) appear as spherical functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-04T09:33:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A90", "33C80", "43A85", "22E66" ], "keywords": [ "infinite dimensional motion groups", "fixed rank", "bessel functions", "cartan motion groups", "positive definite olshanski spherical functions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.1351R" } } }
