Double \(SO(2, 1)\)-integrals and formulas for Whittaker functions (Q1759279): Difference between revisions

The relation \[ [T_\sigma (g)](u(x))=u(g^{-1}x) \] defines a representation of \(SO(2,1)\) in the space \(D_\sigma \) of infinitely differentiable functions \(f\) on the cone \(x_0^2-x_1^2-x_2^2=0\) and satisfying the homogeneity condition \(f(\alpha x)=\alpha ^\sigma f(x)\). By using the circle \(\gamma _1: x_1^2+x_2^2=1\), the hyperbola \(x_0^2-x_2^2=1\) and the parabola \(\gamma_3: x_0+x_1=1\), the author considers integral bilinear functionals of the form \[ F_i:D_\sigma ^2\to \mathbb{C},\;(u,v)\mapsto \int_{\gamma _i}\int_{\gamma _i}k(x,\hat x)\, u(x)\, v(\hat x)\, dxd\hat x. \] For a kernel \(k(x,\hat x)\) satisfying certain conditions, the author obtains the relation \(F_1=F_2=F_3\). By calculating double integrals in the equalities \(F_i(u,v)=F_j(u,v)\), the author obtains some functional relations for Whittaker functions and calculates the sum of one series of Gauss hypergeometric functions converging to a Whittaker function.
