Apr 22, 2020 at 15:34 comment added A beginner mathmatician @LSpice. I have understand the identification clearly. But in my question (and also in the paper I mentioned in the question, "$\phi_\lambda(\mu)$" can be defined only for the spherical positive-definite functions $i(\chi)$ (this notation appears in my previous posts.) In this case $\|\mu\|_T=\tau(\mu)$ because the Gelfand transform is an isometry. So how to use your "subset" argument to show $\|\mu\|_T\geq \tau(\mu)$?

Apr 21, 2020 at 19:04 comment added LSpice $G$ is a (finite-dimensional) Lie group, so it is $\sigma$-compact.
Apr 21, 2020 at 18:48 comment added A beginner mathmatician Ok. I agree. But here $G$ has to be $\sigma$-compact for that. Right? Since we know that probability measures on a compact Hausdroff space is closed convex hull of Dirac masses. Hence you can take a measure, make it compactly supported, normalized, approximate by convex combinations of Dirac masses and the make the compact sets large so that it covers $G$ asymptotically.
Apr 21, 2020 at 18:41 comment added LSpice The closed span of the various unit $K g K$'s is $M(G, K)$, so injectivity follows. (Also, you can delete comments.)
Apr 21, 2020 at 18:29 comment added A beginner mathmatician @LSpice. I understand that given a character $\chi$ of $A_\tau$ I can define a character a character on $G$ as $i(\chi)g\mapsto \tau(m_K*\delta_g*m_k).$ But I think what I need to show that the map $\chi\mapsto i(\chi)$ is injective and continuous in some topology to obtain the spectral theorem. Am I right? Even after the identification you mentioned there are some subtlities. I checked the references. In the book of Gangoli something like that is given but for $L^1(G,K)$.
Apr 21, 2020 at 18:17 comment added LSpice Anyway, (1) notice that the spectrum is not identified with all pdsf's, but only a subset, and (2) I think that the identification is the simple one: given a character $\chi$ of $\overline{\tau(M(G, K))}$, send $g \in G$ to the value of $\chi \circ \tau$ at the unit mass on $K g K$.
Apr 21, 2020 at 18:07 comment added LSpice Also, $\phi_\lambda(\mu)$ means that $\phi_\lambda$ is viewed as a character of $\overline{\tau(M(G, K))}$, then evaluated at $\tau(\mu)$.
Apr 21, 2020 at 17:58 comment added LSpice Did you check the four references given for the identification?
