Harmonic analysis on the boundary of hyperbolic groups
Abstract
In this paper we show that a Möbius-structure $\mathcal{M}$ of dimension $Q$ has a minimal Ahlfors-David constant.
This shows that a Möbius space is uniformly $Q$-Ahlfors-David regular.
In summary, many classical theorems of harmonic analysis on $\mathbb{R}^n$ admit a Möbius-invariant formulation in the context of Möbius-geometry.
We use this observation to show that the Knapp-Stein operator
$$
(I_d^\alpha u_d)(x) = \int \frac{u_d(y)}{d(x,y)^{Q - \alpha}} \, d\mu_d(y), \quad\quad (\, 0 < \alpha < \frac{Q}{2}\,)
$$
is a continuous operator on the weighted $L^2$-space $L^2((\frac{d'}{d})^{\alpha} d\mu_d)$, with a norm independent of $d$ and $d'$.
From here we construct a Sobolev space $\mathcal{H}^{-\alpha}_d$ on $s$-densities for a given $s$ as a function of $\alpha$.
We would like to say that the construction is topologically independent of the metric $d$.
In this paper we prove that the norms on a large class of functions are comparable.
The work is inspired by a paper by Astengo, Cowling, and Di Blasio, who construct uniformly bounded representations for simple Lie groups of rank $1$.
We formulate the problem in a much more general framework of groups acting on Möbius structures.
In particular, all hyperbolic groups.
