Let G be a compact Lie group and let π be an irreducible representation of G of highest weight λ. We study the operator-valued Fourier transform of the product of the j-function and the pull-back of ?? by the exponential mapping. We show that the set of extremal points of the convex hull of the support of this distribution is the coadjoint orbit through ?? + ??. The singular support is furthermore the union of the coadjoint orbits through ?? + w??, as w runs through the Weyl group. Our methods involve the Weyl functional calculus for noncommuting operators, the Nelson algebra of operants and the geometry of the moment set for a Lie group representation. In particular, we re-obtain the Kirillov-Duflo correspondence for compact Lie groups, independently of character formulae. We also develop a "noncommutative" version of the Kirillov character formula, valid for noncentral trigonometric polynomials. This generalises work of Cazzaniga, 1992.

Nous étudions la propriété RD en terme de décroissance de coefficients matriciels de représentations unitaires. Nous nous concentrons en particulier sur des représentations provenant de l'action des groupes de Lie et de groupes discrets sur un "bord" approprié. Ces actions produisent des rerésentations unitaires à normalisation prés. Nous utilisons des techniques d'analyse harmonique et de théorie ergodique pour amorcer une nouvelle approche de la conjecture de Valette. / We study property RD in terms of decay of matrix coefficients for unitary representations. We focus our attention on unitary representations arising from action of Lie groups and discrete groups of isometries of a CAT(-1) space on their appropriate boundary. We use some techniques of harmonic analysis, and ergodic theory to start a new approach of Valette's conjecture
