On the Schwartz space isomorphism theorem for rank one symmetric space

Abstract

In this paper we give a simpler proof of the L p-Schwartz space isomorphism (0 < p ≤ 2) under the Fourier transform for the class of functions of left δ-type on a Riemannian symmetric space of rank one. Our treatment rests on Anker’s [2] proof of the corresponding result in the case of left K-invariant functions on X. Thus we give a proof which relies only on the Paley-Wiener theorem.
