Characterizations of the pairs whose convolution product is either absolutely continuous or in $L^2$ are given in terms of the dimensions of the corresponding double cosets. In particular, we prove that if $G/K$ is not $SU(2)/SO(2),$ then the convolution of any two regular orbital measures is in $L^{2}$, while in $SU(2)/SO(2)$ there are no pairs of orbital measures whose convolution product is in $L^{2}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-21T14:12:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A80", "22E30", "53C35" ], "keywords": [ "convolution product", "compact symmetric spaces", "smoothness", "regular orbital measures", "continuous orbital measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151006259H" } } }
