For the first time, the estimates of the non-centered Weyl-group invariant heat kernel for curved Riemannian spaces and for Opdam-Cherednik Laplacians are studied systematically. We prove sharp estimates for the root system $A_1$ with arbitrary multiplicity $k>0$. Sharp estimates of Opdam-Cherednik's radial heat kernel are conjectured for any root system.
In this article, we conjecture exact estimates for the Weyl-invariant Opdam-Cherednik hypergeometric functions. We prove the conjecture for the root system $A_n$ and for all rank 1 cases. We provide other evidence that the conjecture might be true in general.
In this article, we prove exact estimates for the $W$-invariant Dunkl kernel and heat kernel, for the root system of type $A$ with arbitrary positive multiplicities. We apply the estimates of the $W$-invariant Dunkl heat kernel to compute sharp estimates for the Newton kernel and for the $s$-stable semigroups generated by a fractional power of the $W$-invariant Dunkl Laplacian.
We derive two-sided bounds for the Newton and Poisson kernels of the $W$-invariant Dunkl Laplacian in geometric complex case when the multiplicity $k(α)=1$, i.e. for flat complex symmetric spaces. For the invariant Dunkl-Poisson kernel $P^W(x,y)$, the estimates are $$ P^W(x,y)\asymp \frac{P^{{\bf R}^d}(x,y)}{\prod_{α> 0 \ }|x-σ_αy|^{2k(α)}},$$ where the $α$'s are the positive roots of a root system acting in ${\bf R}^d$, the $σ_α$'s are the corresponding symmetries and $P^{{\bf R}^d}$ is the classical Poisson kernel in ${{\bf R}^d}$. Analogous bounds are proven for the Newton kernel when $d\ge 3$. The same estimates are derived in the rank one direct product case $\mathbb Z_2^N$ and conjectured for general $W$-invariant Dunkl processes. As an application, we get a two-sided bound for the Poisson and Newton kernels of the classical Dyson Brownian motion and of the Brownian motions in any Weyl chamber.
In this paper, we extend the iterative expression for the generalized spherical functions associated to the root systems of type $A$ previously obtained beyond regular elements. We also provide the corresponding expression in the flat case. From there, we derive a Laplace-type representation for the generalized spherical functions associated to the root systems of type $A$ in the Dunkl setting as well as in the trigonometric Dunkl setting. This representation leads us to describe precisely the support of the generalized Abel transform. Thanks to a recent result of Rejeb, this allows us to give the support for the Dunkl intertwining operator.
We study the absolute continuity of the convolution $δ_{e^X}^\natural \starδ_{e^Y}^\natural$ of two orbital measures on the symmetric spaces ${\bf SO}_0(p,p)/{\bf SO}(p)\times{\bf SO}(p)$, $\SU(p,p)/{\bf S}({\bf U}(p)\times{\bf U}(p))$ and $\Sp(p,p)/{\bf Sp }(p)\times\Sp(p)$. We prove sharp conditions on $X$, $Y\in\a$ for the existence of the density of the convolution measure. This measure intervenes in the product formula for the spherical functions.
We study the absolute continuity of the convolution $δ_{e^X}^\natural \star δ_{e^Y}^\natural$ of two orbital measures on the symmetric space $SO_0(p,q)/SO(p)\timesSO(q)$, $q>p$. We prove sharp conditions on $X$, $Y\in\a$ for the existence of the density of the convolution measure. This measure intervenes in the product formula for the spherical functions. We show that the sharp criterion developed for $\SO_0(p,q)/\SO(p)\times\SO(q)$ will also serve for the spaces $SU(p,q)/S(U(p)\timesU(q))$ and $Sp(p,q)/Sp(p)\timesSp(q)$, $q>p$. We also apply our results to the study of absolute continuity of convolution powers of an orbital measure $δ_{e^X}^\natural$.
