Abstract:
Harmonic analysis on noncompact Riemannian symmetric spaces is in a sense equivalent to the theory of the horospherical transform. There are no horospheres on compact symmetric spaces, but we define a complex version of the horospherical transform, which plays a similar role for harmonic analysis on them.
Key words and phrases:Symmetric space, horospherical transform, spherical Fourier transform, Cauchy–Radon transform, inversion formula, Plancherel formula.
