Encyclopedia
In mathematical harmonic analysis, Harish-Chandra's Ξ function is a special spherical function on a semisimple Lie group, studied by .

Harish-Chandra used it to define Harish-Chandra's Schwartz space
Harish-Chandra's Schwartz space
In mathematical abstract harmonic analysis, Harish-Chandra's Schwartz space is a space of functions on a semisimple Lie group whose derivatives are rapidly decreasing, studied by...

.

gives a detailed description of the properties of Ξ.

    Iwasawa decomposition
    In mathematics, the Iwasawa decomposition KAN of a semisimple Lie group generalises the way a square real matrix can be written as a product of an orthogonal matrix and an upper triangular matrix...
