For a manifold $X$, let $\\Gamma_X$, resp.\\ $\\Gamma_{X,0}$ denote the space of all, resp. finite configurations in $X$. The so-called $K$-transform, introduced by A. Lenard, maps functions on $\\Gamma_{X,0}$ into functions on $\\Gamma_{X}$ and its adjoint $K^*$ maps probability measures on $\\Gamma_X$ into $\\sigma$-finite measures on $\\Gamma_{X,0}$. For a probability measure $\\mu$ on $\\Gamma_X$, $\\rho_\\mu:=K^*\\mu$ is called the correlation measure of $\\mu$. We consider the inverse problem of existence of a probability measure $\\mu$ whose correlation measure $\\rho_\\mu$ is equal to a given measure $\\rho$. We introduce an operation of $\\star$-convolution of two functions on $\\Gamma_{X,0}$ and suppose that the measure $\\rho$ is $\\star$-positive definite, which enables us to introduce the Hilbert space ${\\cal H}_\\rho$ of functions on $\\Gamma_{X,0}$ with the scalar product $(G^{(1)},G^{(2)})_{{\\cal H}_{\\rho}}= \\int_{\\Gamma_{X,0}}(G^{(1)}\\star\\bar G{}^{(2)})(\\eta) \\rho(d\\eta)$. Under a condition on the growth of the measure $\\rho$ on the $n$-point configuration spaces, we construct the Fourier transform in generalized joint eigenvectors of some special family $A=(A_\\phi)_{\\phi\\in\\D}$, $\\D:=C_0^\\infty(X)$, of commuting selfadjoint operators in ${\\cal H}_\\rho$. We show that this Fourier transform is a unitary between ${\\cal H}_{\\rho}$ and the $L^2$-space $L^2(\\Gamma_X,d\\mu)$, where $\\mu$ is the spectral measure of $A$. Moreover, this unitary coincides with the $K$-transform, while the measure $\\rho$ is the correlation measure of $\\mu$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-08-14T13:45:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60G57", "47A75", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "configuration space analysis", "correlation measure", "spectral representation", "fourier transform", "point configuration spaces" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math......8343B" } } }
