On some Hilbert cosine functions

✍️ K. KANGNI, S. TOURÉ and I. TOURÉ 📚 Far East Journal of Mathematical Sciences (FJMS) 📅 vol. 29, Issue 2, 2008, pages 497-511.

This paper extends classical cosine functional equations to operator-valued functions on locally compact groups, introducing a generalized “Hilbert cosine” framework. It characterizes bounded operator solutions using harmonic analysis and group representation techniques.

On the properties (Pp) for homogeneous spaces,

✍️ S. TOURÉ> 📚 Afrika Matematika. 📅 série 3, vol. 17, pp. 17-24, 2006.

Exploration of the structural and topological properties of homogeneous spaces, focusing on a class of properties denoted as (Pp). These properties relate to the behavior of locally compact groups acting transitively on topological spaces, and the implications for amenability, compactness, and invariant measures.

Introduction to Amenable Homogeneous Spaces

✍️ S. TOURÉ 📚 Actes des Premières Journées d`Analyse Harmonique d`Abidjan, UFR de Mathématiques et Informatique 📅 5 et 6 juin 2003, 2003

We examine the conditions under which a homogeneous space 𝐺/𝐻 - formed by a locally compact group 𝐺 and a closed subgroup 𝐻 - can be considered amenable. The notion of amenability, originally developed in the context of groups, is extended here to quotient spaces, with emphasis on the existence of invariant means and measures.

Extension of the notion of spherical distribution

✍️ K. KANGNI, and S. TOURÉ 📚 Annales mathématiques de l’université Blaise Pascal 📅 vol. 8, n° 2, pp. 77-88, 2001

This paper develops a specialized version of the spherical Fourier transform—called the type δ transform—and applies it to the harmonic analysis of semi-simple Lie groups, particularly in the context of their unitary representations and symmetric spaces.

We introduce and analyze the spherical trace Fourier transform, a specialized tool in harmonic analysis designed for functions on semi-simple Lie groups that exhibit spherical symmetry. It extends classical Fourier analysis by incorporating trace operations over compact subgroups, offering new insights into representation theory and the structure of symmetric spaces.

✍️ S. TOURÉ 📚 Lecture Notes in Mathematics 📅 n° 739, Springer-Verlag, 1979

This work develops the theory of amenable homogeneous spaces and examines their connection with unitary representations of semi-direct product groups.
