Radiality in this context means invariance under the action of the unitary group $U_p(\\b F)$ from the left. We obtain a continuous series of commutative hypergroups whose characters are given by Bessel functions of matrix argument. Our results generalize well-known structures in the rank one case, namely the Bessel-Kingman hypergroups on the positive real line, to a higher rank setting. In a second part of the paper, we study structures depending only on the matrix spectra. Under the mapping $r\\mapsto \\text{spec}(r)$, the convolutions on the underlying matrix cone induce a continuous series of hypergroup convolutions on a Weyl chamber of type $B_q$. The characters are now Dunkl-type Bessel functions. These convolution algebras on the Weyl chamber naturally extend the harmonic analysis for Cartan motion groups associated with the Grassmann manifolds $U(p,q)/(U_p\\times U_q)$ over $\\b F$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-20T17:05:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C67", "33C80", "43A62", "43A85" ], "keywords": [ "bessel convolutions", "convolution algebras", "weyl chamber", "context means invariance", "cartan motion groups" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.....12474R" } } }
