Abstract

The expansion of a square integrable function on SL(2,C)SL(2,C) into the sum of the principal series matrix coefficients with the specially selected representation parameters was recently used in the Loop Quantum Gravity \citeRovelliBook2\cite{RovelliBook2}, \citeRovelli2010\cite{Rovelli2010}. In this paper we prove that the sum j=1mjnjDjm,jn(j,τj)(g)jk\sum\limits_{j=1}^{\infty}\sum\limits_{|m| \le j}\sum\limits_{|n| \le j} \frac{D^{(j, \tau j)}_{jm, jn}(g)}{j^k}, where j,m,nZ,τC j, m, n \in Z, \tau \in C is convergent to a square integrable function on SL(2,C)SL(2,C). We also prove that for each fixed m: j=1Djm,jm(j,τj)(g)jk\sum\limits_{j=1}^{\infty}\frac{D^{(j, \tau j)}_{jm, jm}(g)}{j^k} is convergent and that the limit is a square integrable function on SL(2,C)SL(2,C). We then prove convergence of the sums j=pmjnjdpmj2Djm,jn(j,τj)(g)\sum\limits_{j=|p|}^{\infty}\sum\limits_{|m| \le j}\sum\limits_{|n| \le j} d^{\frac{j}{2}}_{pm} D^{(j, \tau j)}_{jm, jn}(g), where dpmj2=(j+1)12SU(2)ϕ(u)Dpmj2(u)  du  d^{\frac{j}{2}}_{|p|m} = (j+1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\int\limits_{SU(2)}\phi(u)\overline{ D^{\frac{j}{2}}_{|p|m}(u)} \; du \; is ϕ(u)\phi(u)'s Fourier transform and p,j,m,nZ,τC,uSU(2),gSL(2,C) p, j, m, n \in Z, \tau \in C, u \in SU(2), g \in SL(2,C), thus establishing the map between the square integrable functions on SU(2)SU(2) and the space of the functions on SL(2,C)SL(2,C). Such maps were first used in \citeRovelliBook2\cite{RovelliBook2}.
