Continuous measures on compact Lie groups

From MaRDI portal





An analog of Wiener's classical characterization of continuous measures on the circle group is obtained for compact semisimple Lie groups (and symmetric spaces of compact type): \[ \lim_{n\to\infty}|A_n|^{-1}\sum_{\lambda\in A_n}d_\lambda^{-1}\|\widehat\mu(\pi_\lambda)\|^2_2= \sum_{g\in G}|\mu(\{g\})|^2. \] Here \(A_n\) is an ``admissible sequence of subsets of the set of dominant weights parametrizing the irreducible unitary representations of \(G\) and \(\mu\) is a measure on \(G\). For a compact set \(C\) of continuous measures on \(G\) the existence of a central singular measure \(\nu\) is shown, such that \(\mu*\nu\) is absolutely continuous for all \(\mu\in C\). This multiplier theorem is obtained by first constructing a singular measure using Riesz products on the maximal torus of \(G\). Furthermore it is proved that any finite linear combination of characters on \(G\) \(f\) can be represented as \(f=\mu*\nu\), where \(\mu\) and \(\nu\) are singular central measures.
