Fourier positivity conjecture for spherical positive definite functions
Fourier positivity conjecture for spherical positive definite functions
Let be a semisimple linear group over a local field , let be a maximal compact subgroup, and let be a closed abelian subgroup. Define
For a continuous bi--invariant positive definite function on with , say that the pair has Fourier positivity when the Fourier transform of the corresponding function on is strictly positive on . Fourier positivity conjecture. If is a closed non-compact abelian subgroup and is a continuous bi--invariant positive definite function on such that , then the pair has Fourier positivity.
This conjecture proposes strict positivity of Fourier transforms for restrictions of spherical positive definite functions to non-compact abelian subgroups. Its resolution is not established by the supplied source context.
