Abstract

The Harish-Chandra Fourier transform, fHf,f\mapsto\mathcal{H}f, is a linear topological algebra isomorphism of the spherical (Schwartz) convolution algebra Cp(G//K)\mathcal{C}^{p}(G//K) (where KK is a maximal compact subgroup of any arbitrarily chosen group GG in the Harish-Chandra class and 0<p20<p\leq2) onto the (Schwartz) multiplication algebra Zˉ(Fϵ)\bar{\mathcal{Z}}({\mathfrak{F}}^{\epsilon}) (of w\mathfrak{w}-invariant members of Z(Fϵ),\mathcal{Z}({\mathfrak{F}}^{\epsilon}), with ϵ=(2/p)1\epsilon=(2/p)-1). This is the well-known Trombi-Varadarajan theorem for spherical functions on the real reductive group, G.G. Even though Cp(G//K)\mathcal{C}^{p}(G//K) is a closed subalgebra of Cp(G),\mathcal{C}^{p}(G), a similar theorem cannot however be proved for the full Schwartz convolution algebra Cp(G)\mathcal{C}^{p}(G) except; for Cp(G/K)\mathcal{C}^{p}(G/K) (whose method is essentially that of Trombi-Varadarajan, as shown by M. Eguchi); for few specific examples of groups (notably G=SL(2,R)G=SL(2,\R)) and; for some notable values of pp (with restrictions on GG and/or on members of   Cp(G)\;\mathcal{C}^{p}(G)). In this paper, we construct an appropriate image of the Harish-Chandra Fourier transform for the full Schwartz convolution algebra Cp(G),\mathcal{C}^{p}(G), without any restriction on any of G,pG,p and members of   Cp(G).\;\mathcal{C}^{p}(G). Our proof, that the Harish-Chandra Fourier transform, fHf,f\mapsto\mathcal{H}f, is a linear topological algebra isomorphism on Cp(G),\mathcal{C}^{p}(G), equally shows that its image Cp(G^)\mathcal{C}^{p}(\widehat{G}) can be nicely decomposed, that the full invariant harmonic analysis is available and implies that the definition of the Harish-Chandra Fourier transform may now be extended to include all pp-tempered distributions on GG and to the zero-Schwartz spaces
