Abstract Plancherel (Trace) Formulas over Homogeneous Spaces of Compact Groups

Abstract

AbstractThis paper introduces a unified operator theory approach to the abstract Plancherel (trace) formulas over homogeneous spaces of compact groups. LetGbe a compact group and letHbe a closed subgroup ofG. LetG/Hbe the left coset space ofHinGand letμbe the normalized G-invariant measure onG-Hassociated with Weil’s formula. Then we present a generalized abstract notion of Plancherel (trace) formula for the Hilbert spaceL2(G/H,μ).
