An application of hypergeometric shift operators to the chi-spherical Fourier transform

We study the action of hypergeometric shift operators on the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric functions associated with the $BC_n$ type root system and some negative multiplicities. Those hypergeometric functions are connected to the $χ$-spherical functions on Hermitian symmetric spaces $U/K$ where $χ$ is a nontrivial character of $K$. We apply shift operators to the hypergeometric functions to move negative multiplicities to positive ones. This allows us to use many well-known results of the hypergeometric functions associated with positive multiplicities. In particular, we use this technique to achieve exponential estimates for the $χ$-spherical functions. The motive comes from the Paley-Wiener type theorem on line bundles over Hermitian symmetric spaces.

The $\ct$ transform on line bundles over compact Hermitian symmetric spaces

In a previous article the second author together with A. Pasquale determined the spectrum of the $Cos^λ$ transform on smooth functions on the Grassmann manifolds $G_{p,n+1}$. This article extends those results to line bundles over certain Grassmannians. In particular we define the $Cos^λ$ transform on smooth sections of homogeneous line bundles over$G_{p,n+1}$ and show that it is an intertwining operator between generalized ($χ$-spherical) principal series representations induced from a maximal parabolic subgroup of $\mathrm{SL} (n+1, \mathbb{K})$. Then we use the spectrum generating method to determine the $K$-spectrum of the $Cos^λ$ transform.

Paley-Wiener Theorem for Line Bundles over Compact Symmetric Spaces and New Estimates for the Heckman-Opdam Hypergeometric Functions

Paley-Wiener type theorems describe the image of a given space of functions, often compactly supported functions, under an integral transform, usually a Fourier transform on a group or homogeneous space. Several authors have studied Paley-Wiener type theorems for Euclidean spaces, Riemannian symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type as well as affine Riemannian symmetric spaces. In this article we prove a Paley-Wiener theorem for homogeneous line bundles over a compact symmetric space $U/K$. The Paley-Wiener theorem characterizes f with sufficiently small support in terms of holomorphic extendability and exponential growth of their Fourier transforms. An important tool is a generalization of Opdam's estimate for the hypergeometric functions for multiplicity functions that are not necessarily positive. The domain where this estimate is valid is also bigger. This is done in an appendix.
