Abstract

An L2L^2 version of the classical Denjoy-Carleman theorem regarding quasi-analytic functions was proved by P. Chernoff on Rn\mathbb R^n using iterates of the Laplacian. We give a simple proof of this theorem which generalizes the result on Rn\mathbb R^n for any p[1,2]p\in [1, 2]. We then extend this result to Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact and noncompact type for KK-biinvariant functions.
