Spherical analysis on homogeneous vector bundles of the 3-dimensional Euclidean motion group

Abstract: We consider

m a t h b b R^{3}

as a homogeneous manifold for the action of the motion group given by rotations and translations. For an arbitrary

a u i n w i d e h a t S O (3)

, let

E_{a} u

be the homogeneous vector bundle over

m a t h b b R^{3}

associated with

a u

. An interesting problem consists in studying the set of bounded linear operators over the sections of

E_{a} u

that are invariant under the action of

S O (3) l t i m e s m a t h b b R^{3}

. Such operators are in correspondence with the

E n d (V_{a} u)

-valued, bi-

a u

-equivariant, integrable functions on

m a t h b b R^{3}

and they form a commutative algebra with the convolution product. We develop the spherical analysis on that algebra, explicitly computing the

a u

-spherical functions. We first present a set of generators of the algebra of

S O (3) l t i m e s m a t h b b R^{3}

-invariant differential operators on

E_{a} u

. We also give an explicit form for the

a u

-spherical Fourier transform, we deduce an inversion formula and we use it to give a characterization of

E n d (V_{a} u)

-valued, bi-

a u

-equivariant, functions on

m a t h b b R^{3}

.
