We conjecture a geometrical form of the Paley–Wiener theorem for the Dunkl transform and prove three instances thereof, by using a reduction to the one-dimensional even case, shift operators, and a limit transition from Opdam’s results for the graded Hecke algebra, respectively. These Paley– Wiener theorems are used to extend Dunkl’s intertwining operator to arbitrary smooth functions. Furtherm...
