Abstract

We find the minimal real number $k$ such that the $k$th power of the Fourier transform of any continuous, orbital measure on a classical, compact Lie group belongs to $l^{2}$. This results from an investigation of the pointwise behaviour of characters on these groups. An application is given to the study of $L^{p}$-improving measures.
