Given a compact Gelfand pair (G,K) and a locally compact group L, we characterize the class P_K^\sharp(G,L) of continuous positive definite functions f:G\times L\to \C which are bi-invariant in the G-variable with respect to K. The…
Let G be a locally compact group and let K be a compact subgroup of Aut(G), the group of automorphisms of G. The pair $(G, K )$ is a Gelfand pair if the algebra $L^{1}_{K}(G)$ of K-invariant integrable functions on G is commutative under…
We characterize completely the Gneiting class of space-time covariance functions and give more relaxed conditions on the involved functions. We then show necessary conditions for the construction of compactly supported functions of the…
Given a compact subgroup K of the orthogonal group acting on the Euclidean space Rn, Gerald Schwarz proved that every smooth K-invariant function on Rn can be expressed as a smooth function of a generating set of $K$-invariant polynomials…
Let $\Hn$ be the $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg group and $K$ a compact group of automorphisms of $\Hn$ such that $(K\ltimes \Hn,K)$ is a Gelfand pair. We prove that the Gelfand transform is a topological isomorphism between the space of…
With the advent of wide-spread global and continental-scale spatiotemporal datasets, increased attention has been given to covariance functions on spheres over time. This paper provides results for stationary covariance functions of random…
We establish a computable version of Gelfand Duality. Under this computable duality, computably compact presentations of metrizable spaces uniformly effectively correspond to computable presentations of unital commutative $C^*$ algebras.
Consider the Gelfand pairs $(G_p,K_p):=(M_{p,q} \rtimes U_p,U_p)$ associated with motion groups over the fields $\mathbb F=\mathbb R,\mathbb C,\mathbb H$ with $p\geq q$ and fixed $q$ as well as the inductive limit $p\to\infty$,the Olshanski…
In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…
The purpose of this paper is to give explicit constructions of unitary $t$-designs in the unitary group $U(d)$ for all $t$ and $d$. It seems that the explicit constructions were so far known only for very special cases. Here explicit…
In this article the zonal spherical functions of the Gelfand pair $(G(r,d,n), S_n)$ of complex reflection groups will be calculated. After this, a product formula for these spherical functions and a discrete analog of the Laplace operator…
We collect several foundational results regarding the interaction between locally compact spaces, probability spaces and probability algebras, and commutative $C^*$-algebras and von Neumann algebras equipped with traces, in the…
In this article, we consider a class of functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$, called positive homogeneous functions, which interact well with certain continuous one-parameter groups of (generally anisotropic) dilations. Generalizing the Euclidean…
Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…
Gel'fand integral of a family of compact operators on a Hilbert space is not always compact, even with additional property of positivity and commutativity. We prove that integrals of a family, consisting of compact operators, in the space…
It is natural to ask whether "positivity" of white noise operators can be discussed in some sense and characterized. To answer this question, we consider the Gel'fand triple over the Complex Gaussian space $(\ce'_c,\m_c)$, i.e.…
We present an explicit product formula for the spherical functions of the compact Gelfand pairs $(G,K_1)= (SU(p+q), SU(p)\times SU(q))$ with $p\ge 2q$, which can be considered as the elementary spherical functions of one-dimensional…
The author was recently able to provide a cohomological interpretation of Tate's Riemann-Roch formula for number fields using some new harmonic analysis objects, ghost-spaces. When trying to investigate these objects in general, we realized…
Gel'fand triples of test and generalized functionals in Gaussian spaces are constructed and characterized.
We extend the well-known Gelfand-Phillips property for Banach spaces to locally convex spaces, defining a locally convex space $E$ to be Gelfand-Phillips if every limited set in $E$ is precompact in the topology on $E$ defined by barrels.…
