The aim of this paper is to study the $L^{2}$-regularity (resp. $C^k$-smoothness) of the Radon-Nikodym derivative of the convolution $\\nu_{a_{1}}\\ast...\\ast\\nu_{a_{r}}$ with respect to a fixed left Haar measure $\\mu_G$ on $G$. As a consequence of a result of Ragozin, \\cite{ragozin}, we prove that if $r \\geq \\, \\max_{1\\leq i \\leq s}\\dim {G_i}/K_i$, then $\\nu_{a_{1}}\\ast...\\ast\\nu_{a_{r}}$ is absolutely continuous with respect to $\\mu_G$, i.e., $d\\big(\\nu_{a_{1}}\\ast...\\ast\\nu_{a_{r}}\\big)/d\\mu_G$ is in $L^1(G)$, where $G_i/K_i$, $i=1,...,s$, are the irreducible components in the de Rham decomposition of $G/K$. The aim of this paper is to prove that $d\\big(\\nu_{a_{1}}\\ast...\\ast\\nu_{a_{r}}\\big)/d\\mu_G$ is in $L^2(G)$ (resp. $C^k\\left(G \\right) $) for $r \\geq \\max_{1\\leq i \\leq s}\\dim \\left( {G_i}/{K_i}\\right) + 1$\\, (resp. $r \\geq \\max_{1\\leq i \\leq s} \\dim\\left( {G_i}/{K_i}\\right) +k+1$). The case of a compact symmetric space of rank one was considered in \\cite{AGP} and \\cite{AG}, and the case of a complex Grassmannian was considered in \\cite{AA}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-22T19:56:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A85", "28C10", "43A77", "43A90", "53C35" ], "keywords": [ "noncompact symmetric spaces", "orbital measures", "radon-nikodym derivative", "convolution", "regularity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
