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.
