Harmonic Analysis on Quantum Complex Hyperbolic Spaces

Abstract

In this paper we obtain some results of harmonic analysis on quantum complex hyperbolic spaces. We introduce a quantum analog for the Laplace-Beltrami operator and its radial part. The latter appear to be second order q-difference operator, whose eigenfunctions are related to the Al-Salam-Chihara polynomials. We prove a Plancherel type theorem for it.
