On a restriction problem of de Leeuw type for Laguerre multipliers

In 1965 K. de Leeuw \cite{deleeuw} proved among other things in the Fourier transform setting: {\it If a continuous function $m(\xi _1, \ldots ,\xi _n)$ on ${\bf R}^n$ generates a bounded transformation on $L^p({\bf R}^n),\; 1\le p \le \infty ,$ then its trace $\tilde{m}(\xi _1, \ldots ,\xi _m)=m(\xi _1, \ldots ,\xi _m,0,\ldots ,0), \; m<n,$ generates a bounded transformation on $L^p({\bf R}^m)$. } In this paper, the analogous problem is discussed in the setting of Laguerre expansions of different orders.
