Review text

The author remarks that, while the wave equation \((L-\partial^2/ \partial t^2) u=0\) on an Euclidean space has an analogue for any Riemannian manifold \(X\), the case when \(X\) is a symmetric space provides another natural analogue where the operator \(L-\partial^2/ \partial t^2\) is replaced by a system and the time variable is then multidimensional. In the present paper, the above system is studied by making use of Fourier transform methods. Among other things, the author proves the very essential result that the spectral representations \({\mathcal E}^\sigma\) are directly related to the Fourier transform on \(X\). This is the main tool for the proof of the spectral representation theorem of this paper.
