    Bernstein and Jackson theorems for the Heisenberg group

    No full text
    We describe on the Heisenberg group H_n a family of spaces M(h, X) of functions which play a role analogous to the trigonometric polynomials in T" or the functions of exponential type in R". In particular we prove that for the space M(h, X), Jackson's theorem holds in the classical form while Bernstein's inequality hold in a modified form. We end the paper with a characterization of the functions of the Lipschitz space Λ', by the behavior of their best approximations by functions in the space M(h, X)

    The Martin compactification of the Cartesian product of two hyperbolic spaces

    No full text
    Consider H_m × H_n the Cartesian product of two hyperbolic spaces with dimensions m and n respectively. It carries the product Riemannian structure and corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator Δ=Δ_m x Δ_n, the sum of the Laplace Beltrami operators on the two factors. It is well known that there exist positive functions h on H_m × H_n which satisfy Δh=λh if and only if λ≥λ_0, where λ_0=-((m-1)/2)^2-((n-1)/2)^2 is the bottom of the positive spectrum

    Weak type (1,1) estimates for heat kernel maximal functions on Lie groups

    No full text
    For a Lie group G with left-invariant Haar measure and associated Lebesgue spaces L^p(G), we consider the heat kernels {p_t\}_{t>0} arising from a right-invariant Laplacian Δ on G: that is, u(t, .) = p_t * f solves the heat equation (∂/∂t - Δ)u = 0 with initial condition u(0, .) = f(.). We establish weak-type (1, 1) estimates for the maximal operator M (M f = \sup_{t>0} |p_t * f|) and for related Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators in a variety of contexts, namely for groups of polynomial growth and for a number of classes of Iwasawa AN groups. We also study the "local" maximal operator M_0 (M_0 f = \sup_{0<t<1} |p_t * f|) and related Hardy-Littlewood operators for all Lie groups

    Lp-Lq estimates for functions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on noncompact symmetric spaces. I

    Let X = G/K be a symmetric space of noncompact type, L be the Laplace-Beltrami operator on X, and b the bottom of its spectrum. In this paper we study the Lp-Lq mapping properties of several families of operators naturally associated with L: θ-heat semigroup, H_{t,θ) = exp(tL−θb), complex powers of resolvent operator, H^α_θ=(L−θb)^{−α/2}, and S^α_θ = (L−θb)^{−α/2} exp(i(L−θb)), where 0≤θ≤1, Reα≥ 0, closely related to the Cauchy problem for the Schrodinger operator on X. The techniques mix harmonic analysis on semisimple Lie groups (Plancherel measure, c-function) and functional analysis (interpolation, semigroup theory). One of the contribution in this paper is to give precise estimates for the Lp-Lq operator norm of H_{t,θ) for large time t on all noncompact symmetric spaces. These estimates show that the interpolation and extrapolation methods of ultracontractivitywhich work well for small t or on groups of polynomial growth are not applicable here; in particular, log(|||H_{t,θ)|||_{p,q}) does not depend linearly on 1/p and 1/q

    This is a short note in which we point out some estimates of the L^p norms of characters of compact connected semisimple Lie groups G

    Lp-Lq estimates for functions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on noncompact symmetric spaces. III

    No full text
    This paper is the third of a series on semigroups of operator related to the Laplace Beltrami operator on a symmetric space of the non compact type. We consider the Poisson semigroup P_{τ,θ}, when θ=1 and τ is complex and Reτ>0. We remark that the shifted Laplace Beltrami operator -L+b, corresponding to the case θ=1, occurs naturally in geometry, as it is conformally invariant. Our main theorem describes the behaviour of the Lp-Lq operator norm of P_{τ,1} for various possible values of p and q and for τ in various subsets of the right half of the complex plane. This description is nearly complete, but when p<2<q and |τ| is large but τ is nearly imaginary, our methods do not yield good estimates
