On the nilpotent \(*\)-Fourier transform (Q1314804): Difference between revisions

For a connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group \(G\), one considers the Fourier transform \({\mathcal E}: {\mathcal S}(G) \to C^ \infty(V,{\mathcal S}(\mathbb{R}^{2d}))\): \[ {\mathcal E}(f)(\lambda,p,q) = \int_ G e^{-ia(g,\lambda,p,q)} f(g)dg, \] where \({\mathcal S}(G)\) is the Schwartz space of \(G\), \(V \times {\mathbb{R}}^{2d} \to {\mathcal O}\) an adapted diffeomorphic parametrization for a \(G\)-invariant Zariski open set \(\mathcal O\) on the dual space \(g^*\) of the Lie algebra \(g = \text{Lie}(G)\) and \(a(.,.,.,.)\) a real function, polynomial in \(p\) and \(q\) and rational in \(\lambda\), with singularities outside \(V\). The authors prove the surjectivity of this transformation (Corollary 2.2.4) and therefore extend this Fourier transform to distributions. This leads them in particular to have some interesting results, for example \({\mathcal E}(\delta_ x) = e^{ia(.,.,.,.)}\), it transforms the convolution product on group \(G\) to the Moyal \(*\)-product on \(V \times \mathbb{R}^{2d}\), \({\mathcal E}(T * f) = {\mathcal E}(T) * {\mathcal E}(f)\).
