Laplace-type representation for some generalized spherical functions of type BC

Abstract

In [M. R\"osler and M. Voit. Integral Representation and Uniform Limits for Some Heckman-Opdam Hypergeometric Functions of type BC, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 368, No. 8, 6005-6032, 2016.], R\"osler and Voit give a formula for generalized spherical functions of type $BC$ in terms of the spherical functions of type A. We use this formula to describe precisely the support of the associated generalized Abel transform. Furthermore, we derive a similar formula for the generalized spherical functions in the rational Dunkl setting. The support of the intertwining operator V is also deduced. We also show, as a consequence, that a Laplace-type expression exists for the generalized spherical functions both in the trigonometric Dunkl setting and in the rational Dunkl setting.
