Abstract

On rank one Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type, which accommodates all hyperbolic spaces, we show that characterization of the eigenfunctions/eigendistributions of the Laplace–Beltrami operator, through the action of the heat operator is possible only when we confine in a small time. The results are different from their counter parts in the Euclidean spaces. All results and their proofs extend to Damek–Ricci spaces.
