Abstract: In this paper, we study the Plancherel measure of a class of non-connected nilpotent groups which is of special interest in Gabor theory. Let

G

be a time-frequency group. More precisely, that is

G = l e f t l a n g l e T_{k}, M_{l} : k i n m a t h b b Z^{d}, l i n B m a t h b b Z^{d} i g h t a n g l e,

T_{k}

,

M_{l}

are translations and modulations operators acting in

L^{2} (m a t h b b R^{d}),

and

B

is a non-singular matrix. We compute the Plancherel measure of the left regular representation of

G

which is denoted by

L .

The action of

G

on

L^{2} (m a t h b b R^{d})

induces a representation which we call a Gabor representation. Motivated by the admissibility of this representation, we compute the decomposition of

L

into direct integral of irreducible representations by providing a precise description of the unitary dual and its Plancherel measure. As a result, we generalize Hartmut F"uhr's results which are only obtained for the restricted case where

d = 1

,

B = 1 / L, L i n m a t h b b Z

and

L > 1.

Even in the case where

G

is not type I, we are able to obtain a decomposition of the left regular representation of

G

into a direct integral decomposition of irreducible representations when

d = 1

. Some interesting applications to Gabor theory are given as well. For example, when

B

is an integral matrix, we are able to obtain a direct integral decomposition of the Gabor representation of

G .

Review text

This paper focuses on the Plancherel measure of a class of non-connected nilpotent groups. Let \(G=\langle T_k,\,M_l:\;k\in\mathbb{Z}^d,\;l\in B\mathbb{Z}^d\rangle\) be a time-frequency group, where \(T_k\) and \(M_l\) are translation and modulation operators on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)\) and \(B\) is a non-singular matrix. The authors compute the decomposition of the Plancherel measure \(L\) of the left regular representation of \(G\) into a direct integral of irreducible representations, via providing a precise description of the unitary dual and its Plancherel measure. As an application, a direct integral decomposition of the Gabor representation of \(G\) with an integral matrix \(B\) is obtained.
