A theorem of Strichartz for multipliers on homogeneous trees

A theorem of Strichartz states that if a uniformly bounded bi-infinite sequence of functions on the Euclidean spaces, satisfies the condition that the Laplacian acting on a function in this sequence yields the next one, then each function in this sequence is an eigenfunction of the Laplacian. We consider a generalization of this result for homogeneous trees, where we replace bounded functions by tempered distributions and the Laplacian by multiplier operators acting on the tempered distributions. After establishing the result in this general context, we narrow our focus to specific cases, which includes important examples of multiplier operators such as heat and Schrödinger operator, ball and sphere averages of function.
