The Schwartz space and homogeneous distributions on \(H\)-type groups (Q5945902)

The notion of \(H\)-type group was introduced by \textit{A. Kaplan} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 258, 147-153 (1980; Zbl 0393.35015)]. Let \(N\) be an \(H\)-type group of homogeneous dimension \(Q\). The authors investigate the space \({\mathcal S}^{\sharp}(N)\) of biradial Schwartz functions on \(N\) by means of the Gelfand transform using some results of \textit{C. Benson, J. Jenkins} and \textit{G. Ratcliff} [J. Funct. Anal. 154, 379-423 (1998; Zbl 0914.22013)]. The class of biradial homogeneous distributions on \(N\) of degree \(\alpha\) with \(0\leq\alpha <Q\), which are \(C^\infty\) away from the identity, are characterized in terms of the Gelfand transform.
