Schlichtkrull %J Mathematics %D 2005 %I arXiv %X Let G/H be a reductive symmetric space and K a maximal compact subgroup of G. We study Fourier transforms of compactly supported K-finite distributions on G/H and characterize the image of the space of such distributions. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0511585v1
