A \(q\)-analogue of convolution on the line (Q1601159)

The authors study a \(q\)-analogue of the convolution product on the line. The algebraic definition of the convolution product on the braided line defined in [\textit{A. Kempf} and \textit{S. Majid}, J. Math. Phys. 35, No. 12, 6802-6837 (1994; Zbl 0826.17018)] is adapted to give an analytic definition for the \(q\)-convolution and the convergence property is studied extensively. Then the authors define various classes of functions on which the convolution is well-defined and they show that they are algebras under the defined product. They also investigate commutativity of this convolution product and treat the relationship between \(q\)-convolution and \(q\)-Fourier transform. Finally, they show an equivalence between the existence of an analytic continuation of a function defined on a \(q\)-lattice, and the behaviour of its \(q\)-derivatives.
