Plancherel formula for the quantum matrix ball - I
arXiv:0903.4068
Abstract
Plancherel formula is one of the celebrated result of harmonic analysis on semisimple Lie groups and their homogeneous spaces. The main goal of this work is to find a q-analog of the Plancherel formula for spherical transform the unit matrix ball. Here we present an explicit formula for the radial part of the Plancherel measure. q-Jacobi polynomials as spherical functions naturally arise on the way.
