Asymptotic analysis for the Dunkl kernel

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the integral kernel of the Dunkl transform, the so-called Dunkl kernel, when one of its arguments is fixed and the other tends to infinity either within a Weyl chamber of the associated reflection group, or within a suitable complex domain. The obtained results are based on the asymptotic analysis of an associated system of ordinary differential equations. They generalize the well-known asymptotics of the confluent hypergeometric function $\phantom{}_1F_1$ to the higher-dimensional setting and include a complete short-time asymptotics for the Dunkl-type heat kernel. As an application, it is shown that the representing measures of Dunkl's intertwining operator are generically continuous.Comment: LaTeX2e, 16 pages, 1 figure.

Support properties of the intertwining and the mean value operators in Dunkl's analysis

In this paper we show that the Dunkl intertwining operator has a compact support which is invariant by the associated Coxeter-Weyl group. This property enables us to determine explicitely the support of the volume mean value operator, a fundamental tool for the study of harmonic functions relative to the Dunkl-Laplacian operator

Three results in Dunkl theory

In this article, we establish first a geometric Paley-Wiener theorem for the Dunkl transform in the crystallographic case. Next we obtain an optimal bound for the $L^p\to L^p$ norm of Dunkl translations in dimension 1. Finally we describe more precisely the support of the distribution associated to Dunkl translations in higher dimension

Paley-Wiener theorems for the Dunkl transform

We conjecture a geometrical form of the Paley-Wiener theorem for the Dunkl transform and prove three instances thereof, one of which involves a limit transition from Opdam's results for the graded Hecke algebra. Furthermore, the connection between Dunkl operators and the Cartan motion group is established. It is shown how the algebra of radial parts of invariant differential operators can be described explicitly in terms of Dunkl operators, which implies that the generalized Bessel functions coincide with the spherical functions. In this context, the restriction of Dunkl's intertwining operator to the invariants can be interpreted in terms of the Abel transform. Using shift operators we also show that, for certain values of the multiplicities of the restricted roots, the Abel transform is essentially inverted by a differential operator.Comment: LaTeX, 26 pages, no figures.

The Dunkl kernel and intertwining operator for dihedral groups

Dunkl operators associated with finite reflection groups generate a commutative algebra of differential-difference operators. There exists a unique linear operator called intertwining operator which intertwines between this algebra and the algebra of standard differential operators. There also exists a generalization of the Fourier transform in this context called Dunkl transform. In this paper, we determine an integral expression for the Dunkl kernel, which is the integral kernel of the Dunkl transform, for all dihedral groups. We also determine an integral expression for the intertwining operator in the case of dihedral groups, based on observations valid for all reflection groups. As a special case, we recover the result of [Xu, Intertwining operators associated to dihedral groups. Constr. Approx. 2019]. Crucial in our approach is a systematic use of the link between both integral kernels and the simplex in a suitable high dimensional space.Comment: Revision version. A missing factor in formula (6) for the Bochner expression is added. Related formulas and some typos are corrected. All comments are welcom

On the Path Integral Formulation of Wigner-Dunkl Quantum Mechanics

Feynman's path integral approach is studied in the framework of the Wigner-Dunkl deformation of quantum mechanics. We start with reviewing some basics from Dunkl theory and investigate the time evolution of a Gaussian wave packet, which exhibits the same dispersion relation as observed in standard quantum mechanics. Feynman's path integral approach is then extended to Wigner-Dunkl quantum mechanics. The harmonic oscillator problem is solved explicitly. We then look at the Euclidean time evolution and the related Dunkl process. This process, which exhibit jumps, can be represented by two continuous Bessel processes, one with reflection and one with absorbtion at the origin. The Feynman-Kac path integral for the harmonic oscillator problem is explicitly calculated.Comment: Typos corrected and DOI added to reference
