Abstract

Here we consider the Heisenberg group Hn = Cn ×R. U(p,q), p + q = n, acts by automorphism on Hn by g (z,t) = (gz,t).

Let {X1,...,Xn, Y1,...,Yn,T} be the standard basis of the Lie algebra of Hn and let

 ∑p ( 2 2) ∑n ( 2 2) L = Xj + Yj − X j + Yj . j=1 j=p+1

Via the Plancherel inversion formula, we obtain the joint spectral decomposition of L2(Hn) with respect to L and T

 ∑ ∫ + ∞ n f = f *S λ,k|λ| dλ, f  in  S (Hn ) k in Z −∞

where each Sλ.k is a tempered distribution U(p,q) invariant satisfying iTSλ,k = λSλ,k, LSλ,k = |λ| (2k+ p − q)Sλ,k. We compute explicitly the distributions Sλ,k and the integral μk = −∞+f * Sλ,k|λ|n.
