The Fourier transform on harmonic manifolds of purely exponential volume growth

Let $X$ be a complete, simply connected harmonic manifold of purely exponential volume growth. This class contains all non-flat harmonic manifolds of non-positive curvature and, in particular all known examples of harmonic manifolds except for the flat spaces. Denote by $h > 0$ the mean curvature of horospheres in $X$, and set $\rho = h/2$. Fixing a basepoint $o \in X$, for $\xi \in \partial X$, denote by $B_{\xi}$ the Busemann function at $\xi$ such that $B_{\xi}(o) = 0$. then for $\lambda \in \C$ the function $e^{(i\lambda - \rho)B_{\xi}}$ is an eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with eigenvalue $-(\lambda^2 + \rho^2)$. For a function $f$ on $X$, we define the Fourier transform of $f$ by $$\tilde{f}(\lambda, \xi) := \int_X f(x) e^{(-i\lambda - \rho)B_{\xi}(x)} dvol(x)$$ for all $\lambda \in \C, \xi \in \partial X$ for which the integral converges. We prove a Fourier inversion formula $$f(x) = C_0 \int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{\partial X} \tilde{f}(\lambda, \xi) e^{(i\lambda - \rho)B_{\xi}(x)} d\lambda_o(\xi) |c(\lambda)|^{-2} d\lambda$$ for $f \in C^{\infty}_c(X)$, where $c$ is a certain function on $\mathbb{R} - \{0\}$, $\lambda_o$ is the visibility measure on $\partial X$ with respect to the basepoint $o \in X$ and $C_0 > 0$ is a constant. We also prove a Plancherel theorem, and a version of the Kunze-Stein phenomenon.
