TL;DR
This work develops a comprehensive factorization theory for ultradifferentiable vectors in representations of compact Lie groups on sequentially complete locally convex spaces. By formulating vector-valued Beurling–Roumieu ultradifferentiable classes via weight functions and leveraging the Laplace–Beltrami operator and the Peter–Weyl Fourier framework, the authors reduce factorization to a discrete Fourier coefficient division problem and prove a bounded strong factorization property: $E^{[oldsymbol{ au}]} = oldsymbol{ abla}^{[oldsymbol{ au}]}(G)E^{[oldsymbol{ au}]}$. This generalizes the classical Dixmier–Malliavin factorization to ultradifferentiable settings and resolves the Gimperlein–Krötz–Lienau conjecture for analytic vectors on compact groups, while also providing non-quasianalytic refinements and connections to analytic and Gevrey contexts. The results yield a unified approach to factorization across analytic, Gevrey, and general ultradifferentiable regimes with potential applications in representation theory and harmonic analysis on Lie groups.
Abstract
We show a strong factorization theorem of Dixmier-Malliavin type for ultradifferentiable vectors associated with compact Lie group representations on sequentially complete locally convex Hausdorff spaces. In particular, this solves a conjecture by Gimperlein et al. [J. Funct. Anal. 262 (2012), 667-681] for analytic vectors in the case of compact Lie groups.
