Théories spectrales, chapter II, § 1. Transformation de Fourier

Let f∈L1(G)f\in L^1(G) be such that the restriction to H⊥H^{\bot} of the continuous function FG(f)\mathscr{F}_G(f) is integrable with respect to γ^\widehat{\gamma}. Then, for almost every x∈Gx\in G, the function y↦f(xy)y\mapsto f(xy) on H is α\alpha-integrable, and one has:

∫Hf(xy)dα(y)=∫H⊥⟨χ,x⟩FG(f)(χ)dγ^(χ) \int_Hf(xy)d\alpha (y) =\int_{H^{\bot}}\langle \chi , x\rangle \mathscr{F}_G(f)(\chi )d\widehat{\gamma}(\chi )

From the above, the function f♭f^{\flat} defined almost everywhere on G/HG/H by

f♭(x˙)=∫Hf(xy)dα(y) f^{\flat}( \dot{x}) =\int_Hf(xy)d\alpha (y)

belongs to L1(G/H)L^1(G/H). The Fourier transform of f♭f^{\flat} is identified with the function on H⊥=G^/HH^{\bot}=\widehat{G}/H given for χ∈H⊥\chi \in H^{\bot} by

FG/H(f♭)(χ)=∫G/H⟨χ,x˙⟩‾f♭(x˙)dγ(x˙) \mathscr{F}_{G/H}(f^{\flat})(\chi ) =\int_{G/H}\overline{\langle\chi ,\dot{x}\rangle}f^{\flat}( \dot{x})d\gamma ( \dot{x})
=∫G⟨χ,x⟩‾f(x)dβ(x)=FG(f)(χ) =\int_G\overline{\langle\chi , x\rangle}f(x)d\beta (x) =\mathscr{F}_G(f)(\chi )

by formula (33), applied to the integrable function x↦x\mapsto ⟨χ,x⟩‾f(x)\overline{\langle\chi , x\rangle}f(x). By hypothesis, the function F(f)∣H⊥=FG/H(f♭)\mathscr{F}(f)|H^{\bot}=\mathscr{F}_{G/H}(f^{\flat}) belong to L1(H⊥)L^1(H^{\bot}), and therefore the function f♭f^{\flat} belong to the space B(G/H)B(G/H). It follows (Theorem 3 of II, p. 222) that f♭f^{\flat} coincides almost everywhere with F‾G^/H(FG/H(f♭))\overline{\mathscr{F}}_{\widehat{G}/H}(\mathscr{F}_{G/H}(f^{\flat})). For almost all x˙∈G/H\dot{x}\in G/H, one therefore has

f♭(x˙)=∫H⊥⟨χ,x⟩FG/H(f♭)(χ)dγ^(χ)=∫H⊥⟨χ,x⟩FG(f)(χ)dγ^(χ) f^{\flat}( \dot{x}) =\int_{H^{\bot}}\langle \chi , x\rangle \mathscr{F}_{G/H}(f^{\flat})(\chi )d\widehat{\gamma}(\chi ) =\int_{H^{\bot}}\langle \chi , x\rangle \mathscr{F}_G(f)(\chi )d\widehat{\gamma}(\chi )

This completes the proof.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
