Abstract
This paper will focus on Fourier transform on the semidirect prod- uct of two Lie groups to obtain some results in abstract harmonic analysis. In fact the combining of the classical Fourier transform on R, and on a compact Lie group permits us to define the Fourier trans- form, and then to obtain the Plancherel formula on these groups. In the end we will introduce some interesting new groups.
Keywords: Key words : Semidirect Product of Two Lie Groups, Fourier Transform, Plancherel Formula

Noncommutative Fourier analysis is a beautiful and powerful area of pure mathematics that has connections to, theoretical physics, chemistry
analysis, algebra, geometry, and the theory of algorithms. In mathematics, abstract harmonic analysis is the field in which results from Fourier anal- ysis are extended to topological groups which are not commutative. For a long time, people have tried to construct objects in order to generalize Fourier transform and Pontryagin,s theorem to the non abelian case. How- ever, with the dual object not being a group, it is not possible to define the Fourier transform and the inverse Fourier transform between G and G. These difficulties of Fourier analysis on noncommutative groups makes the noncommutative version of the problem very challenging. It was necessary to find a subgroup or at least a subset of locally compact groups which were not pathological, or wild as Kirillov calls them [13]. Unfortunatly If the group G is no longer assumed to be abelian, it is not possible anymore to
consider the dual group G (i.e the set of all equivalence classes of unitary
irreducible representations). Abstract harmonic analysis on locally compact groups is generally a difficult task. Still now neither the theory of quantum groups nor the representations theory have done to reach this goal. So the important and interesting question is: One can do abstract harmonic analy- sis on Lie groups i.e. the Fourier transform can be defined to solve the major problems of abstract harmonic analysis. Here are some interesting examples of these groupse.

The n dimensional real Heisenberg group H. the Galelian group GA which is isomorphic onto the group HXi SO(3, R) semidirect product of H by SO(3, R), i.e GA HXi SO(3, R). Let SL(2, R) be the 2 2 real semisimple Lie group and let SL(2, C) be the 2 2 complex semisimple Lie group, then we get the Jacobi group GJ HXi SL(2, R) and the Poincare group(Space time) R4 Xi SL(2, C).
Recently, these problems found a satisfactory solution with the papers [6, 8, 10, 11] . The ways were introduced in those papers will be the business of the expertise in the theory of abstract harmonic analysis, and in theoretical physics, and that is what I am interested In this paper I will define the Fourier transform and establishing Plancherel formula for the semidirect of
two vector groups Rn Xi Rm (m n) and the motion group.

Let L = Rn × Rm × Rm be the group with law:
(x, t, r)(y, s, q) = (x + (r)y, t + s, r + q)
–
–
for all (x, t, r) L and (y, s, q) L. In this case the group G can be identified with the closed subgroup Rn ×{0} × Rm of L and B with the subgroup Rn× Rm × {0}of L.

Definition 2.1. For every f C(G), one can define a function f C(L) as follows:
f (x, t, r) = f ((t)x, r + t) (4)
–

–
–
for all (x, t, r) L. So every function (x, r) on G extends uniquely as an invariant function (x, t, r) on L.
Remark 2.1. The function f is invariant in the following sense:
– –
– –
f ((s)x, t s, r + s) = f (x, t, r) (5)
for any (x, t, r) L and s Rm.
Lemma 2.1. For every function F C(L) invariant in sense (5) and for every uU, we have
u F (x, t, r) = u c F (x, t, r) (6)
for every (x, t, r) L, where signifies the convolution product on G with re- spect the variables (x, r) and csignifies the commutative convolution product on B with respect the variables (x, t).

where Pu and Qu are the invariant differential operators on G and B respec- tivel. As in [9], we will define the Fourier transform on G. Therefor let (G) be the Schwartz space of G which can be considered as the Schwartz space of (Rn Rm), and let !(G) be the space of all tempered distributions on
G. The action of the group Rm on Rn defines a natural action of the dual group (Rm)of the group Rm ((Rm) rv Rm) on (Rn), which is given by :
((t)(), x) = (, (t)(x)) (8) for any = (1, 2, …, n) Rn , t = (t1, t2, …, tm) Rm and x = (x1, x2, …, xn)

In this section I will introduce new group whose names are not known for Mathematicians and Physicians. But they will be very useful.
-
The first new group is: R*
= {x R; x (0 } , with law
x · y = x .y (37)
for all x R* and y R* , where · signifies the product in R*
and . signifies
pro
pro
tw
tw
the ordinary
duct of
o real numbers.
Theorem 4.1. (R* , ·) with the law · becomes a commutative group
isomorphic with the ative group (R* , .) and with the real vector
group (R, +).
multiplic +
Proof: the identity element is 1 because
(1) · x = (1) · x = x, and
x · (1) = x .(1) (38)
If (x ,y) R* × R* , such that x · y = 1, then we get
x · y = x .y = 1 (39)
From this equation we obtain y = x1 = 1 R* , which is the inverse of
x. Now let x, y, and z be three elements b x R* , then we have
elong to
and
(x · y) · z = (x · y).z = (x .y).z = x .y.z (40)
x · (y · z) = x · (y.z) = x.(y.z) = x.y.z (41)
So the law is associative and clearly commutative.
+
+
Let : R*
R*
the mapping defined by
(x) = x (42)
then we get
(x · y) = (x · y)
= x.y = (x).(y) = (x).(y) (43)
That means is homomorphism from R* to R* and evidently is one-to-one
+ * *
and surjective, and so is a group isomorphism from R onto R+. Then
R* = R*
R*
= R*

The second group is: GL(n, R): Let GL(n, R) be the general linear group consisting of all matrices of the form
GL(n, R) = {X = ( aij ) , aij R, 1(i, j (n, and det A =
0} (46)
and let be the subset GL(n, R) of GL(n, R), which is defined as
GL(n, R) = {A GL(n, R), det A (0 } (47)
·
·
Definition 4.2. We supply GL(n, R) by the law noted following struc- ture
A B = IA.B (48)
for any A GL(n, R) and B GL(n, R), where · signifies the multiplica- tion in GL(n, R) and . signifies the usual multiplication of two matrix and I is the the following matrix defined as
(aij ) (49)
where a11 = 1 and aii = 1 for any 1(i n, and aij = 0, i /= j.
Theorem: (i) (GL(n, R), ) is group, and is isomorphic onto the sub- group GL+(n, R)
Proof: It sufficies to consider the mapping
(A) = IA, A GL(n, R) (50)
-
The third new group is: O(n, R): Let O(n, R) be the orthogonal Lie group consisting of all matrices of the form
-
O(n, R) = {A GL(n, R), AA = I } (51)
where I is the identity matrix. Let O(n, R) be the subset of O(n, R) that is defined by
O(n, R) = {A O(n, R), det A (0 } (52)
It is easy to show that (O(n, R), ) becomes group isomorphic onto SO(n, R.
