Abstract

The spectrum of a Gelfand pair (K ⋉ N, ), where N is a nilpotent group, can be embedded in a Euclidean space. We prove that in general, the Schwartz functions on the spectrum are the Gelfand transforms of Schwartz K-invariant functions on N. We also show the converse in the case of the Gelfand pair (SO(3) ⋉ N3,2, SO(3)), where N3,2 is the free two-step nilpotent Lie group with three generators. This extends recent results for the Heisenberg group.
