Abstract
LetM t[ϕ](x) be the spherical mean value operator applied to a function ϕ on a symmetric Riemannian space of the non-compact type.L ∞ —decay estimations forM t [ϕ](x) as well as for its derivatives with respect to (t, x) are given, provided that ϕ belongs to a Banach space with suitable weighted supremum norm. This leads to estimates of the solutions to the wave equation in certain cases in which Huygens' principle is valid.
