    Let \(G=\exp \mathfrak g\) be a connected simply connected nilpotent Lie group and let \(w\) be a continuous symmetric weight on \(G\). In [Stud. Math. 160, No. 3, 205--229 (2004; Zbl 1047.43006)] the first author of the present paper and \textit{D. Alexander} proved that closed two-sided ideals of the weighted group algebra \(L^{1}_{w}\) whose hull is \({\chi_{l}}\) (where \(\chi_{l}\), \(l\in \mathfrak g^*\), is the unitary character of \(G\) defined by \(\chi_{l}(\exp X)=e^{-il(X)} \text{ for any } X\in \mathfrak g)\) correspond to finite dimensional, translation invariant subspaces of complex polynomials dominated by \(w\). The paper under review can be viewed as a continuation of that work. It consists in replacing the character \(\chi_{l}\) by a unitary and irreducible representation \(\pi_{l}\) associated to a flat orbit \(G.l=l+\mathfrak g(l)^{\perp}\) or, more generally, for a set of the form \(\{\pi_{l'}: l'\in l+ \mathfrak n^{\perp}\}\) where \(\mathfrak n\) is a non-trivial ideal contained in \(\mathfrak g (l)\) and \(\mathfrak g (l)\) is the stabilizer of the linear form \(l\). Their method consists in considering the set \(P_{w| N}(N)\) of all polynomials on \(N=\exp \mathfrak n\) bounded by a multiple of the weight \(w| N\), and in associating to a \(G\)-invariant translation invariant subspace \(W\) of \(P_{w| N}(N)\) an induced representation \(\pi_{W}\). The map \(W \mapsto \ker \pi_{W} \) appears to be a bijection between \(P_{w| N}(N)\) and the closed two-sided \(L^{\infty}(G/N)\) invariant \(I\) ideals of \(L^{1}_{w}(G)\) such that \(I\) admits \(\{\pi_{l'}\in \widehat{G}: l'\in l+ \mathfrak n^{\perp}\}\) as a hull. In the case of flat orbits, the hull is replaced by the single point \(\{\pi_{l}\}\).
