Corollary 1. \( {\varphi }_{s} = {\varphi }_{-s} \)
Proof. For every \( f \in {C}_{c}^{\infty }\left( {G//K}\right) \) we get \( \mathbf{S}f\left( s\right) = \mathbf{S}f\left( {-s}\right) \), so the integrals of \( {\varphi }_{s} \) and \( {\varphi }_{-s} \) against \( f \) give the same value. Hence \( {\varphi }_{s} = {\varphi }_{-s} \).
Yes
Corollary 2. \( {\varphi }_{s} \) is bounded by 1 for \( - 1 \leq \operatorname{Re}s \leq 1 \) .
Proof. We shall give two proofs, each one illustrating a useful technique. The first is that of Helgason-Johnson [He, Jo], who proved the result in general. Let \( f \in {\mathcal{L}}^{1}\left( G\right) \) be bi-invariant. Then\n\n\[ \int \left| {f\left( x\right) }\right| {dx} = \int \left| {f\left( {kan}\right) }\righ...

We keep our old notation, letting\n\n\[ {h}_{a} = \left( \begin{matrix} a & 0 \\ 0 & {a}^{-1} \end{matrix}\right) ,\;v = \frac{{a}^{2} + {a}^{-2}}{2},\;a = {e}^{t/2} \]\n\nand\n\n\[ \mathbf{H}f\left( {h}_{a}\right) = F\left( v\right) \]\n\nBy Mellin inversion we find\n\n\[ F\left( \frac{{a}^{2} + {a}^{-2}}{2}\ri...

Theorem 7. Let\n\n\[ \nP\left( s\right) {ds} = \frac{s}{i}\tanh \left( \frac{\pi s}{i}\right) \frac{ds}{2\pi i}. \]\n\nIf \( g \) is in the Paley-Wiener space and is even, then\n\n\[ \n{\mathrm{S}}^{-1}g\left( x\right) = {\int }_{\operatorname{Re}s = 0}g\left( s\right) \varphi \left( {x, s}\right) P\left( s\right) {ds}...
Proof. From the inversion formula for \( f\left( 1\right) \), we shall get the general inversion for \( f\left( x\right) \) by a reduction, using the formalism of spherical functions. For any \( f \in {C}_{c}^{\infty }\left( {G//K}\right) \), let \( {f}_{x} \) be defined by\n\n\[ \n{f}_{x}\left( y\right) = {\int }_{K}f...
Yes
Theorem 8. If \( \operatorname{Re}\left( s\right) \) does not lie in the interval \( \left\lbrack {-1,1}\right\rbrack \), then the spherical function \( {\varphi }_{s} \) is not bounded.
The proof we have given is that in Helgason-Johnson [He, Jo], for arbitrary semisimple Lie groups, but collapsing to advanced calculus in the case of \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) .
No

Lemma 5. Let \( y = \exp \left( {uY}\right) \), where \( u \) is a fixed real number. Let\n\n\[ J\left( {u, s, t}\right) = f\left( {y\exp \left( {t{g}_{s}^{-1}X{g}_{s}}\right) }\right) .\n\]\n\nThen\n\n\[ {D}_{3}{D}_{2}J\left( {u,0,0}\right) = {\varphi }^{\prime }\left( O\right) \left( {{XY} - {YX}}\right) . \]
Proof. The expression on the left is equal to\n\n\[ {\left. \frac{d}{dt}{D}_{2}J\left( u,0, t\right) \right| }_{t = 0} = {\left. \frac{d}{dt}\left\lbrack {\varphi }^{\prime }\left( tX\right) t\left( XY - YX\right) \right\rbrack \right| }_{t = 0}. \]\n\nThe lemma follows from the rule for the derivative of a product.

Theorem 1. All the one-parameter unipotent subgroups of \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) are conjugate. Let \( N,{N}^{\prime } \) be two unipotent subgroups. We have \( N = {N}^{\prime } \) if and only if \( \operatorname{Norm}\left( N\right) = \operatorname{Norm}\left( {N}^{\prime }\right) \) .
Proof. Given \( X \) nilpotent, there exists a matrix \( M \in G{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) such that\n\n\[ \n{MX}{M}^{-1} = \left( \begin{array}{ll} 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 \end{array}\right)\n\]\n\nby the Jordan normal form theorem.

Theorem 2. A subgroup \( {N}_{x} \) is cuspidal for \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbb{Z}\right) \) if and only if \( x \) is rational, or \( \infty \) .
Proof. This is immediately seen from the explicit description of matrices in \( {N}_{x} \) given in (1) above. If the intersection of \( {N}_{x} \) and \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{Z}\right) \) contains an element other than 1, then \( u = n \) is an integer and \( 1 - {ux} \) is also an integer, so \( x \) is rational.

Theorem 3. Let \( \Gamma \) be a discrete subgroup of \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) such that the quotient \( \Gamma \smallsetminus S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) is compact. Then there is no cuspidal group for \( \Gamma \) .
Proof. We have to show that \( \Gamma \) contains no unipotent matrix other than 1. We first prove that the conjugacy class of any element \( \gamma \) under \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) is closed in \( S{L}_{2}\left( \mathbf{R}\right) \) . Indeed, let \( W \) be a compact set such that \[ S{L}_{2}\left( \mat...

Assume that there e...
Proof. We know that an operator which can be represented by a kernel in \( {L}^{2} \) is compact, cf. Chapter I,§3.

Lemma 2. Let \( H \) be a Hilbert space with countable base, and let \( X \) be a measured space. If \( f, g : X \rightarrow H \) are weakly measurable maps, then the map \( x \mapsto \langle f\left( x\right), g\left( x\right) \rangle \), i.e. the map \( \langle f, g\rangle \), is measurable.
Proof. Let \( \left\{ {u}_{\mathrm{i}}\right\} \) be a Hilbert basis of \( H \), and let\n\n\[ f\left( x\right) = \sum {f}_{i}\left( x\right) {u}_{i} \]\n\n\[ g\left( x\right) = \sum {g}_{i}\left( x\right) {u}_{i} \]\n\nbe the Fourier expansions of \( f \) and \( g \) .

Theorem 8. The representation \( \pi \) by right translation on \( {}^{0}{L}^{2}\left( {\Gamma \smallsetminus G}\right) \) is completely reducible, and each irreducible component occurs only a finite number of times in it.
As usual, \( G = {NAK} \) and \( {\Gamma }_{N} = \Gamma \cap N \) . We proceed with the proof of Theorem 7.

iv) Let \( \widehat{\varphi } \) be the Fourier transform of \( \varphi \), viewed as a function on \( {\mathbf{R}}^{2} \) . We have \( \widehat{\varphi }\left\lbrack 0\right\rbrack = 0 \) if and only if \( {T\varphi } \) is orthogonal to the constant 1 on \( \Gamma \smallsetminus G \) .
