Sharp results for the mean summability of Fourier series on compact Lie groups (Q1113415)

We determine the indices p which ensure the \(L^ p\) convergence of polyhedral partial sums of Fourier series of central functions on compact Lie groups. The ``critical'' p \((<2)\) depends on the polyhedron and it is in general larger than the critical index for the almost everywhere convergence of the above series. We also prove that at the critical index the partial sum operators are not of weak type uniformly.
