Asymptotic expansions of Hermite functions on compact Lie groups (Q1611276)

Let \(G\) be a compact, connected Lie group of dimension \(n\). The author considers the compact group analogs of the classical Hermite polynomials on \(R^n\) generated by the heat kernel on \(G\). The asymptotic expansions (asymptotic series in powers of \(\sqrt t\)) of these Hermite functions are studied. In particular, the symmetrized derivatives and expansions in powers of the Laplacian are also considered. In the last case the asymptotic series are computed explicitly.
