The main purpose of this book is the study of local aspects of spectral analysis and spectral synthesis on Euclidean spaces, Riemannian symmetric spaces of an arbitrary rank and Heisenberg groups. The subject can be viewed as arising from three classical topics: John's support theorem, Schwartz's fundamental principle, and Delsarte's two-radii theorem.
Highly topical, the book contains most of the significant recent results in this area with complete and detailed proofs. In order to make this book accessible to a wide audience, the authors have included an introductory section that develops analysis on symmetric spaces without the use of Lie theory. Challenging open problems are described and explained, and promising new research directions are indicated.
Designed for both experts and beginners in the field, the book is rich in methods for a wide variety of problems in many areas of mathematics.

"This book is devoted to some recent developments in the harmonic analysis of mean periodic functions on symmetric spaces and Heisenberg group ... . Many topics appear here for the first time in book form. The book under review was written by two leading experts who have made extensive and deep contributions to the subject in the last fifteen years. ... an in-depth, modern, clear exposition of the advanced theory of harmonic analysis on the symmetric domain of rank one and the Heisenberg group." (Jingzhi Tie, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 f)
"The book is a ... comprehensive research monograph, based on the author's work. ... Each section contains an introduction, notes and remarks. The book presents a modern and ambitious theme of harmonic analysis. ... will mainly attract experts." (H. G. Feichtinger, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 163 (1), May, 2011)
"The book under review is a masterly treatise whose aim is to present the theory of mean periodic functions in symmetric spaces and on the Heisenberg group ... . This book is for experts in geometric analysis. ... of general interest to researchers in differential geometry, analysis and probability whose work wanders into symmetric spaces. It should certainly be in the library of every university where there is research in mathematics." (Dave Applebaum, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 95 (534), November, 2011)
