The Dunkl intertwining operator

We consider Dunkl theory associated to a general Coxeter group G. A new characterization of the regularity of the weight k is given and a new construction, devoid of Kozul complex theory, of the Dunkl intertwining operator Vk is established. We apply our results to derive sharp estimates of the Dunkl kernel. We give explicit formula in the case of orthogonal positive root systems.     

Dimension-free square function estimates for Dunkl operators

Dunkl operators may be regarded as differential-difference operators parameterized by finite reflection groups and multiplicity functions. In this paper, the Littlewood–Paley square function for Dunkl heat flows in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ is introduced by employing the full “gradient” induced by the corresponding carré du champ operator and then the $L^p$ boundedness is studied for all $p\in (1,\infty )$. For $p\in (1,2]$, we successfully adapt Stein's heat flows approach to overcome the difficulty caused by the difference part of the Dunkl operator and establish the $L^p$ boundedness, while for $p\in [2,\infty )$, we restrict to a particular case when the corresponding Weyl group is isomorphic to ${\mathbb{Z}}_2^d$ and apply a probabilistic method to prove the $L^p$ boundedness. In the latter case, the curvature-dimension inequality for Dunkl operators in the sense of Bakry–Emery, which may be of independent interest, plays a crucial role. The results are dimension-free.     

A positive radial product formula for the Dunkl kernel

It is an open conjecture that generalized Bessel functions associated with root systems have a positive product formula for nonnegative multiplicity parameters of the associated Dunkl operators. In this paper, a partial result towards this conjecture is proven, namely a positive radial product formula for the non-symmetric counterpart of the generalized Bessel function, the Dunkl kernel. Radial here means that one of the factors in the product formula is replaced by its mean over a sphere. The key to this product formula is a positivity result for the Dunkl-type spherical mean operator. It can also be interpreted in the sense that the Dunkl-type generalized translation of radial functions is positivity-preserving. As an application, we construct Dunkl-type homogeneous Markov processes associated with radial probability distributions.

     

Equivalence of <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>-functionals and modulus of smoothness constructed by generalized Dunkl translations

In a Hilbert space L _2,α := L ₂(?, |x|^2α+1 dx), α > ? 1/2, we study the generalized Dunkl translations constructed by the Dunkl differential-difference operator. Using the generalized Dunkl translations, we define generalized modulus of smoothness in the space L _2,α . Based on the Dunkl operator we define Sobolev-type spaces and K-functionals. The main result of the paper is the proof of the equivalence theorem for a K-functional and a modulus of smoothness.     

Almansi decomposition for Dunkl operators

Let Ωbe a G-invariant convex domain in RN including 0, where G is a Coxeter group associated with reduced root system R. We consider functions f defined in Ωwhich are Dunkl polyharmonic, i.e. (△h)nf =0 for some integer n. Here △h=∑j=1N Dj2 is the Dunkl Laplacian, and Dj is the Dunkl operator attached to the Coxeter group G, where kv is a multiplicity function on R and σv is the reflection with respect to the root v. We prove that any Dunkl polyharmonic function f has a decomposition of the form f(x)=f0(x) |x|2f1(x) … |x|2(n-1)fn-1(x),(?)x∈Ω, where fj are Dunkl harmonic functions, i.e. △hfj = 0. This generalizes the classical Almansi theorem for polyharmonic functions as well as the Fischer decomposition.     

Boundary Values of Generalized Harmonic Functions Associated with the Rank-One Dunkl Operator

We consider the local boundary values of generalized harmonic functions associated with the rank-one Dunkl operator $D$ in the upper half-plane $R^{2}_+=R\times(0,\infty)$, where $$(Df)(x)=f'(x)+(\lambda/x)[f(x)-f(-x)]$$ for given $\lambda\ge0$. A $C^2$ function $u$ in $R^{2}_+$ is said to be $\lambda$-harmonic if $(D_x^2+\partial_{y}^2)u=0$. For a $\lambda$-harmonic function $u$ in $R^{2}_+$ and for a subset $E$ of $\partial R^{2}_+=R$ symmetric about $y$-axis, we prove that the following three assertions are equivalent: (i) $u$ has a finite non-tangential limit at $(x,0)$ for a.e. $x\in E$; (ii) $u$ is non-tangentially bounded for a.e. $x\in E$; (iii) $(Su)(x)<\infty$ for a.e. $x\in E$, where $S$ is a Lusin-type area integral associated with the Dunkl operator $D$.     

Multivariable Al–Salam & Carlitz Polynomials Associated with the Type A q–Dunkl Kernel

The Al–Salam & Carlitz polynomials are q–generalizations of the classical Hermite polynomials. Multivariable generalizations of these polynomials are introduced via a generating function involving a multivariable hypergeometric function which is the q–analogue of the type–A Dunkl integral kernel. An eigenoperator is established for these polynomials and this is used to prove orthogonality with respect to a certain Jackson integral inner product. This inner product is normalized by deriving a q–analogue of the Mehta integral, and the corresponding normalization of the multivariable Al–Salam & Carlitz polynomials is derived from a Pieri–type formula. Various other special properties of the polynomials are also presented, including their relationship to the shifted Macdonald polynomials and the big–q Jacobi polynomials.     

Relating transplantation and multipliers for Dunkl and Hankel transforms

By expressing the Dunkl transform of order α of a function f in terms of the Hankel transforms of orders α and α + 1 of even and odd parts of f, respectively, we show that a considerable part of harmonic analysis of the Dunkl transform on the real line may be reduced to known results for the Hankel transform. In particular, defining the modified Dunkl transform and then considering the Dunkl transplantation operator we transfer known multiplier results for the Hankel transform to the Dunkl transform setting.

Generalized Fock spaces and Weyl relations for the Dunkl kernel on the real line

In this paper we study a class of generalized Fock spaces associated with the Dunkl operator. Next we introduce the commutator relations between the Dunkl operator and multiplication operator which leads to a generalized class of Weyl relations for the Dunkl kernel.     

Riesz transforms for Dunkl Hermite expansions

In the present paper, we establish that Riesz transforms for Dunkl Hermite expansions introduced by Nowak and Stempak are singular integral operators with Hörmander's type condition. We prove that they are bounded on L^p(R^d,d_μκ)$L^p({\mathbb{R}}^d,d{\mu }_{\kappa })$ for 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$ and from L¹(R^d,d_μκ)$L^1({\mathbb{R}}^d,d{\mu }_{\kappa })$ into L^1,∞(R^d,d_μκ)$L^{1,\infty }({\mathbb{R}}^d,d{\mu }_{\kappa })$.     

Real Paley-Wiener type theorems for the Dunkl transform on {\mathcal{S}}'(\mathbb{R}^{d})

We prove real Paley-Wiener type theorems for the Dunkl transform ℱ _D on the space of tempered distributions. Let T∈S′(ℝ ^d ) and Δ _κ the Dunkl Laplacian operator. First, we establish that the support of ℱ _D (T) is included in the Euclidean ball , M>0, if and only if for all R>M we have lim  _n→+∞ R ⁻²ⁿ Δ _κ ⁿ T=0 in S′(ℝ ^d ). Second, we prove that the support of ℱ _D (T) is included in ℝ ^d ∖B(0,M), M>0, if and only if for all R<M, we have lim  _n→+∞ R ²ⁿ  ℱ _D ⁻¹(‖y‖⁻²ⁿ ℱ _D (T))=0 in S′(ℝ ^d ). Finally, we study real Paley-Wiener theorems associated with -slowly increasing function.      

Dunkl-Schrödinger semigroups and applications

We obtain dispersive estimates for the linear Dunkl–Schrödinger equations with and without quadratic potential. As a consequence, we prove the local well-posedness for semilinear Dunkl–Schrödinger equations with polynomial nonlinearity in certain magnetic field. Furthermore, we study many applications: as the uncertainty principles for the Dunkl transform via the Dunkl–Schrödinger semigroups, the embedding theorems for the Sobolev spaces associated with the generalized Hermite semigroup. Finally, almost every where convergence of the solutions of the Dunkl–Schrödinger equation is also considered.     

Dunkl heat semigroup and applications

In this article we characterize the Dunkl–Besov spaces and prove the embedding Sobolev theorems via the Dunkl heat semigroup. We also study the dispersive properties of the solutions of the Dunkl heat equation. Furthermore, we consider a few applications of these results to the corresponding nonlinear Cauchy problems on generalized functional spaces.     

Nonlinear Dunkl-wave equations

In this article, we introduce a class of nonlinear wave equations associated with the Dunkl operators, we study local and global well-posedness. Next, we establish the linearization of bounded energy solutions in the spirit of Gérard [P. Gérard, Oscillations and concentration effects in semilinear dispersive wave equations, J. Funct. Anal. 141 (1996), pp. 60–98]. The proof uses Strichartz-type inequalities and the energy estimate.
