This leads to a Frobenius formula for Gelfand pairs. For a given Gelfand pair, the structure coefficients of its associated double-class algebra can be written in terms of zonal spherical functions. This is a generalisation of the Frobenius formula which writes the structure coefficients of the center of a finite group algebra in terms of irreducible characters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-06T16:04:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E15" ], "keywords": [ "gelfand pair", "frobenius formula", "structure coefficients", "zonal spherical functions", "finite group algebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
