The heat kernel transform for the Heisenberg group (Q2566085)

An extension of the special linear mapping, called Segal-Bargmann integral transform (1993, 1997, Hall) or heat kernel transform, in the case of the non-compact spaces (Krötz, Stanton; in press) and non-compact groups is presented. In the paper the heat kernel transform \(H_t\) for the \((2n+1)\)-dimensional Heisenberg group \(H\) and its universal complexification \(H_t\) is studied in detail. As a main result, it is shown that the image of \(H_t\) is a direct sum of two weighted Bergman spaces on \(H_C\), in contrast to the classical case of the compact Euclidean space \(\mathbb{R}^n\) (1961, Bargmann) and compact symmetric spaces (1999, Stenzel). In this context, the corresponding partial weight functions are found, which turned out to be not nonnegative, and their oscillatory behavior is established.
