In this paper we estimate the $(L^p-L^2)$-norm of the complex harmonic projectors $\pi_{\ell\ell'}$, $1\le p\le 2$, uniformly with respect to the indexes $\ell,\ell'$. We provide sharp estimates both for the projectors $\pi_{\ell\ell'}$, when $\ell,\ell'$ belong to a proper angular sector in $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$, and for the projectors $\pi_{\ell 0}$ and $\pi_{0 \ell}$. The proof is based on an extension of a complex interpolation argument by C.~Sogge. In the appendix, we prove in a direct way the uniform boundedness of a particular zonal kernel in the $L^1$ norm on the unit sphere of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$.

In this paper, we consider the set $\mathcal{S} = a(e^X K e^Y)$ where $a(g)$ is the abelian part in the Cartan decomposition of $g$. This is exactly the support of the measure intervening in the product formula for the spherical functions on symmetric spaces of noncompact type. We give a simple description of that support in the case of $\SL(3,\mathbf{F})$ where $\mathbf{F} = \mathbf{R}$, $\mathbf{C}$ or $\mathbf{H}$. In particular, we show that $\mathcal{S}$ is convex. We also give an application of our result to the description of singular values of a product of two arbitrary matrices with prescribed singular values.

We regard a system of left invariant vector fields $\mathcal{X}=\{X_1,\dots,X_k\}$ satisfying the H\"ormander condition and the related Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric on a unimodular Lie group $G$. We define Besov spaces corresponding to the sub-Laplacian $\Delta=\sum X_i^2$ both with positive and negative smoothness. The atomic decomposition of the spaces is given. In consequence we get the distributional characterization of the Hausdorff dimension of Borel subsets with the Haar measure zero.

In this paper, we investigate projectivity in the category of operator spaces. In particular, we show that the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group $G$ is operator biprojective if and only if $G$ is discrete.

We consider a unitary representation of a discrete countable abelian group on a separable Hilbert space which is associated to a cyclic generalized frame multiresolution analysis. We extend Robertson's theorem to apply to frames generated by the action of the group. Within this setup we use Stone's theorem and the theory of projection valued measures to analyze wandering frame collections. This yields a functional analytic method of constructing a wavelet from a generalized frame multi\-resolution analysis in terms of the frame scaling vectors. We then explicitly apply our results to the action of the integers given by translations on $L^2({\mathbb R})$.

We study convergence in weighted convolution algebras $L^1(\omega)$ on $R^+$, with the weights chosen such that the corresponding weighted space $M(\omega)$ of measures is also a Banach algebra and is the dual space of a natural related space of continuous functions. We determine convergence factor $\eta$ for which weak$^\ast$-convergence of $\{\lambda_n\}$ to $\lambda$ in $M(\omega)$ implies norm convergence of $\lambda_n \ast f$ to $\lambda \ast f$ in $L^1 (\omega\eta)$. We find necessary and sufficent conditions which depend on $\omega$ and $f$ and also find necessary and sufficent conditions for $\eta$ to be a convergence factor for all $L^1(\omega)$ and all $f$ in $L^1(\omega)$. We also give some applications to the structure of weighted convolution algebras. As a preliminary result we observe that $\eta$ is a convergence factor for $\omega$ and $f$ if and only if convolution by $f$ is a compact operator from $M(\omega)$ (or $L^1(\omega)$) to $L^1 (\omega\eta)$.

Let $G$ be a solvable exponential Lie group. We characterize all the continuous topologically irreducible bounded representations $(T, \calU)$ of $G$ on a Banach space $\calU$ by giving a $G$-orbit in $\frn^*$ ($\frn$ being the nilradical of $\frg$), a topologically irreducible representation of $L^1(\RR^n, \o)$, for a certain weight $\o$ and a certain $n \in \NN$, and a topologically simple extension norm. If $G$ is not symmetric, \ie, if the weight $\o$ is exponential, we get a new type of representations which are fundamentally different from the induced representations. Soit $G$ un groupe de Lie r\'esoluble exponentiel. Nous caract\'erisons toutes les repr\'esentations $(T, \calU)$ continues born\'ees topologiquement irr\'eductibles de $G$ dans un espace de Banach $\calU$ \`a l'aide d'une $G$-orbite dans $\frn^*$ ($\frn$ \'etant le radical nilpotent de $\frg$), d'une repr\'esentation topologiquement irr\'eductible de $L^1(\RR^n, \o)$, pour un certain poids $\o$ et un certain $n \in \NN$, d'une norme d'extension topologiquement simple. Si $G$ n'est pas sym\'etrique, c. \`a d. si le poids $\o$ est exponentiel, nous obtenons un nouveau type de repr\'esentations qui sont fondamentalement diff\'erentes des repr\'esentations induites.

We study when the spaces of Lorentz multipliers from $L^{p,t} \rightarrow L^{p,s}$ are distinct. Our main interest is the case when $s

The main new results in this paper are contained in the geometric Theorems 1 and~2 of Section~0.1 below and they are related to previous results of M.~Gromov and of myself (\cf\ \cite{1},~\cite{2}). These results are used to prove some general potential theoretic estimates on Lie groups (\cf\ Section~0.3) that are related to my previous work in the area (\cf\ \cite{3},~\cite{4}) and to some deep recent work of G.~Alexopoulos (\cf\ \cite{5},~\cite{21}).

Let $\Gamma$ be a rank-one arithmetic subgroup of a semisimple Lie group~$G$. For fixed $K$-Type, the spectral side of the Selberg trace formula defines a distribution on the space of infinitesimal characters of~$G$, whose discrete part encodes the dimensions of the spaces of square-integrable $\Gamma$-automorphic forms. It is shown that this distribution converges to the Plancherel measure of $G$ when $\Ga$ shrinks to the trivial group in a certain restricted way. The analogous assertion for cocompact lattices $\Gamma$ follows from results of DeGeorge-Wallach and Delorme.

If $G$ is a closed subgroup of a commutative hypergroup $K$, then the coset space $K/G$ carries a quotient hypergroup structure. In this paper, we study related convolution structures on $K/G$ coming from deformations of the quotient hypergroup structure by certain functions on $K$ which we call partial characters with respect to $G$. They are usually not probability-preserving, but lead to so-called signed hypergroups on $K/G$. A first example is provided by the Laguerre convolution on $\left[ 0,\infty \right[$, which is interpreted as a signed quotient hypergroup convolution derived from the Heisenberg group. Moreover, signed hypergroups associated with the Gelfand pair $\bigl( U(n,1), U(n) \bigr)$ are discussed.

Let $\Delta$ be a left invariant sub-Laplacian on a Lie group $G$ and let $\nabla$ be the associated gradient. In this paper we investigate the boundness of the Riesz transform $\nabla\Delta^{-1/2}$ on Lie groups $G$ which are amenable and with exponential volume growth and on certain homogenous spaces.

In this paper we consider Fourier multipliers on local Hardy spaces $\qin$ $(0

We give the irreducible decomposition of the tensor product of an analytic continuation of the holomorphic discrete series of $\SU(2, 2)$ with its conjugate.

Let $\VN(G)$ be the von Neumann algebra of a locally compact group $G$. We denote by $\mu$ the initial ordinal with $\abs{\mu}$ equal to the smallest cardinality of an open basis at the unit of $G$ and $X= \{\alpha; \alpha < \mu \}$. We show that if $G$ is nondiscrete then there exist an isometric $*$-isomorphism $\kappa$ of $l^{\infty}(X)$ into $\VN(G)$ and a positive linear mapping $\pi$ of $\VN(G)$ onto $l^{\infty}(X)$ such that $\pi\circ\kappa = \id_{l^{\infty}(X)}$ and $\kappa$ and $\pi$ have certain additional properties. Let $\UCB (\hat{G})$ be the $C^{*}$-algebra generated by operators in $\VN(G)$ with compact support and $F(\hat{G})$ the space of all $T \in \VN(G)$ such that all topologically invariant means on $\VN(G)$ attain the same value at $T$. The construction of the mapping $\pi$ leads to the conclusion that the quotient space $\UCB (\hat{G})/F(\hat{G})\cap \UCB(\hat{G})$ has $l^{\infty}(X)$ as a continuous linear image if $G$ is nondiscrete. When $G$ is further assumed to be non-metrizable, it is shown that $\UCB(\hat{G})/F (\hat{G})\cap \UCB(\hat{G})$ contains a linear isomorphic copy of $l^{\infty}(X)$. Similar results are also obtained for other quotient spaces.

We prove an integration formula involving Jack polynomials conjectured by I.~P.~Goulden and D.~M.~Jackson in connection with enumeration of maps in surfaces.
