POSITIVITY OF THE TRANSMUTATION OPERATORS
AND ABSOLUTE CONTINUITY OF THEIR
REPRESENTING MEASURES FOR
A ROOT SYSTEM ON Rd
Abstract. We consider the transmutation operators $V_k, V^W_k$ and ${}^tV_k{}^tV^W_k$ associated respectively with the Cherednik operators and the Heckman-Opdam theory, called also in [9], [10] the trigonometric Dunkl intertwining operators and their dual paper. In this paper we prove that the operators $V_k, V^W_k$ and ${}^tV_k,
{}^tV^W_k$ are positivity preserving and allows positive integral representations. Next we study the absolute continuity of their representing measures and we deduce that the Opdam-Cherednik kernel and the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function are positive definite.
