Abstract:
In this paper, we define a horospherical transform for a semisimple symmetric space $Y$. A natural double fibration is used to assign a more geometrical space $\Xi$ of horospheres to $Y$. The horospherical transform relates certain integrable analytic functions on $Y$ to analytic functions on $\Xi$ by fiber integration. We determine the kernel of the horospherical transform and establish that the transform is injective on functions belonging to the most continuous spectrum of $Y$.
