The C*-algebra of the Boidol group

The Boidol group which can be realized as a semidirect product \(G=\mathbb R \rtimes H\) of the additive group \(\mathbb R\) of reals acting on the Heisenberg group \( H\) is a soluble connected simply connected group with the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak g\) of dimension \(4\). The Boidol group is the smallest non-\(*\)-regular exponential Lie group. The authors of the paper under review investigate the Fourier transform of the \(C{*}\)-algebra of this group into the algebra \(\ell^{\infty}(\widehat G)\) of operator fields defined over the spectrum of the group. In the main result of the paper, they describe the \(C{*}\)-subalgebra \(D^*(G)\) of \(\ell^{\infty}(\widehat G)\) and prove that this is the isomorphic image of the \(C{*}\)-subalgebra of Boidol's group \(G\) under the Fourier transform.
