The Fourier Transform and Its Weyl Symbol on Two-step Nilpotent Lie Groups

Abstract

In this paper, we give all equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations for the group H_n ⊗ R^m thereby formulate the Fourier transform on H_n ⊗ R^m (n ≥ 0, m ≥ 0}, which naturally unifies the Fourier transform between the Euclidean group and the Heisenberg group, more generally, between Abelian groups and two-step nilpotent Lie groups. Moreover, by the Plancberel formula for H_n ⊗ R^m we produce the Weyl symbol association with functions of the harmonic oscillator so that to derive the heat kernel on H_n ⊗ R^m.
