TLDR
In this article, the authors consider the case where G is a connected, simply connected solvable Lie group and K C Aut(G) is a compact, connected group and determine a moduli space for the associated K-spherical functions.
Abstract
Let G be a locally compact group, and let K be a compact subgroup of Aut(G) , the group of automorphisms of G. There is a natural action of K on the convolution algebra L (G), and we denote by LK(G) the subalgebra of those elements in L (G) that are invariant under this action. The pair (K, G) is called a Gelfand pair if LI(G) is commutative. In this paper we consider the case where G is a connected, simply connected solvable Lie group and K C Aut(G) is a compact, connected group. We characterize such Gelfand pairs (K, G), and determine a moduli space for the associated K-spherical functions.

Iterated Function Systems and Permutation Representations of the Cuntz Algebra

TL;DR: In this paper, the universal permutative multiplicity-free representation of O(n) O(N)-N$ was introduced and a general model of the cycle and atom structure was proposed.

Commutative homogeneous spaces and co-isotropic symplectic actions

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of relationships among the following possible properties of a Riemannian homogeneous space X = G/K is presented: Selberg's property of weak symmetry, commutativity of the algebra of K-invariant measures on X and commutative properties of the poisson algebra of invariant functions on the cotangent bundle of the space X, and the spectrum of the linear representation of the group G on X being multiplicity-free.

Bounded K-spherical functions on Heisenberg groups

TL;DR: In this article, the continuous homomorphisms on LK1(Hn) are given by integrating against certain K-invariant functions on Hn, which are the K-spherical functions associated to the Gelfand pair.

Pointwise ergodic theorems for actions of groups

TL;DR: In this article, the main developments obtained over the last decade regarding pointwise ergodic theorems for measure-preserving actions of locally compact groups are presented. But the survey includes an exposition of the solutions to a number of long standing open problems in Ergodic theory, some of which are very recent and have not yet appeared elsewhere.

Homogeneous nilmanifolds attached to representations of compact Lie groups

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step nilpotent Lie group with a natural left-invariant riemannian metric is considered, and the homogeneous nilmanifolds so obtained are precisely those which are naturally reductive.

Unitary representations of nilpotent lie groups

TL;DR: In this article, a special nilpotent group N with one-dimensional centre is described, which is a special case of the Lie groups with one dimensional centre and can be represented as a group ring.

Bessel functions of matrix argument

TL;DR: In this paper, a large number of formulae from the classical theory of special functions are given appropriate generalizations, some of which turn out to have applications to lattice-point problems and to the theory of non-central Wishart distributions in statistics.
