Oyadare" ], "comment": "18 pages", "categories": [ "math.RT" ], "abstract": "This paper contains a non-trivial generalization of the Harish-Chandra transforms on a connected semisimple Lie group $G,$ with finite center, into what we term spherical convolutions. Among other results we show that its integral over the collection of bounded spherical functions at the identity element $e \\in G$ is a weighted Fourier transforms of the Abel transform at $0.$ Being a function on $G,$ the restriction of this integral of its spherical Fourier transforms to the positive-definite spherical functions is then shown to be (the non-zero constant multiple of) a positive-definite distribution on $G,$ which is tempered and invariant on $G=SL(2,\\mathbb{R}).$ These results suggest the consideration of a calculus on the Schwartz algebras of spherical functions. The Plancherel measure of the spherical convolutions is also explicitly computed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-06-21T16:19:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A85", "22E30", "22E46" ], "keywords": [ "spherical convolutions", "harmonic analysis", "spherical functions", "connected semisimple lie group", "non-zero constant multiple" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
