Abstract

We employ the perspective of the functional equation satisfied by the classical Fourier transform to derive the Helgason Fourier transform map Ωl(G/K,W)Ωk(G/K×G/P,V[χ]):ff^:G/K×G/PV[χ]:(x,b)f^(x,b)\Omega^{l}(G/K,W)\longrightarrow\Omega^{k}(G/K\times G/P,V[\chi]):f\longmapsto \widehat{f}:G/K\times G/P\mapsto V[\chi]:(x,b)\longmapsto\widehat{f}(x,b) (for WW-valued differential forms fΩl(G/K,W)f\in \Omega^{l}(G/K,W)) as the GG- invariant vector bundle-valued differential form f^\widehat{f} on the product space G/K×G/PG/K\times G/P whose image under the vector bundle-valued Poisson transform is the fibre convolution-integral φτ,l,kUσ,νf\varphi^{U^{\sigma,\nu}}_{\tau,l,k}* f on G/K,G/K, where φτ,l,kUσ,ν\varphi^{U^{\sigma,\nu}}_{\tau,l,k} is the WW-valued τ\tau-spherical ll-form on G/K.G/K. Explicitly, we prove that f^l,k,ε(λ)(x,b)=(Coλ)1βV(λ))(G/Kφλ,l,kUσν,tπKf)(x),\widehat{f}_{l,k,\varepsilon(\lambda)}(x,b)=({\bf C_{o}\lambda)}^{-1}\circ\beta^{V}(\lambda))\circ(\int_{G/K}\varphi^{U^{\sigma\nu},t}_{\lambda,l,k}\wedge\pi^{*}_{K}f)(x), where bG/Pb\in G/P is a consequence of the boundary map βV(λ),\beta^{V}(\lambda), Co(λ){\bf C_{o}(\lambda)} is the vector bundle-valued Harish-Chandra cc-function and for some λ\lambda-linear relation, ε(λ).\varepsilon(\lambda). The Fourier transform is found to be the map ΩlG/K,W)Ωk(G/K×G/P,W)\Omega^{l}G/K,W)\longrightarrow\Omega^{k}(G/K\times G/P,W) :ff::f\mapsto f^{\triangle}: G/P×G/KWG/P\times G/K\longrightarrow W :(b,x)f(b,x):(b,x)\longmapsto f^{\triangle}(b,x) and is then established to be explicitly given as fl,k,υ(λ)(b,x)=f^{\triangle}_{l,k,\upsilon(\lambda)}(b,x)= G/Pϕk,l,λπP((Co(λ)1βVλ))(G/Kφλ,l,kUσν,tπKf)(x)),\int_{G/P}\phi_{k,l,\lambda}\wedge\pi^{*}_{P}(({\bf C_{o}(\lambda)}^{-1}\circ\beta^{V}\lambda))\circ(\int_{G/K}\varphi^{U^{\sigma\nu},t}_{\lambda,l,k}\wedge\pi^{*}_{K}f)(x)), where υ(λ)\upsilon(\lambda) is some λ\lambda-linear relation.
