Abstract

Let GG be a compact subgroup of GLn(R)GL_n(\R) acting linearly on a finite dimensional vector space EE. B. Malgrange has shown that the space C(Rn,E)G\mathcal{C}^\infty(\R^n,E)^G of C\mathcal{C}^\infty and GG-covariant functions is a finite module over the ring C(Rn)G\mathcal{C}^\infty(\R^n)^G of C\mathcal{C}^\infty and GG-invariant functions. First, we generalize this result for the Schwartz space S(Rn,E)G\mathscr{S}(\R^n,E)^G of GG-covariant functions. Secondly, we prove that any GG-covariant distribution can be decomposed into a sum of GG-invariant distributions multiplied with a fixed family of GG-covariant polynomials. This gives a generalization of an Oksak result proved in ([O]).
