On positive definite measures

In this paper we study the Fourier transform of unbounded measures on a locally compact groupG. After a short introductory section containing background material, especially results established byL. Argabright andJ. Gil De Lamadrid we turn to the main subjects of the paper: first we characterize \(\Re \left( G \right), \mathfrak{J}\left( G \right)\) andB(G) cones in \(\mathfrak{W}\left( G \right)\) . After that we establish the subspace \(\mathfrak{W}_\Delta \left( G \right)\) of \(\mathfrak{W}\left( G \right)\) which contains \(\mathfrak{W}_p \left( G \right)\) , the linear span of all positive definite measures.
