A Fourier type transform on translation invariant valuations on convex sets

Abstract

Let VV be a finite dimensional real vector space. In the article we construct an isomorphism between the space of smooth translation invariant valuations on convex subsets of VV and the space of such valuations (twisted by densities) on the dual space VV^*. This isomorphism commutes with the natural action of the full linear group on both spaces of valuations, maps product on the source (introduced in arXiv:math/0301148) to the convolution on the target (introduced in arXiv:math/0607449), and satisfies a Plancherel type inversion formula. As an application, a version of the hard Lefschetz theorem for valuations is proved.
