Title

On extendability of invariant distributions

Authors

Abstract

In this paper sufficient conditions are given in order that every distribution invariant under a Lie group extend from the set of orbits of maximal dimension to the whole of the space. It is shown that these conditions are satisfied for the n-point action of the pure Lorentz group and for a standard action of the Lorentz group of arbitrary signature.
