SynopsisPositive definite temperature functionsu(x, t) in ℝn+1= {(x, t)|x∈ ℝn,t> 0} are characterised bywhere μ is a positive measure satisfying that for every ℰ > 0,is finite. A transformis introduced to give an isomorphism between the class ofall positive definite temperature functions and the class of all possible temperature functions inThen correspondence given bygeneralises the Bochner–Schwartz Theorem for the Schwartz distributions and extends Widder's correspondence characterising some subclass of the positive temperature functions by the Fourier-Stieltjes transform.

It is well known that locally defined positive definite functions on Lie groups G generally do not extend to positive definite functions which are defined on the whole group. We introduce two stronger positivity concepts for locally defined functions, and show that they are equivalent to extendability. We then apply this to the case when G is the Heisenberg group. When an additional symmetry is imposed, we obtain a complete spectral analysis of the (locally defined) positive definite functions. The methods of proof are based on unitary dilation techniques (i.e., carefully chosen extensions of some underlying Hilbert space associated to the problem), and on spectral theory for noncommuting operators.
