review text: Beurling's original theorem says that if \(f\in L^2(\mathbb R)\) satisfies \[ \int_{\mathbb R}\int_{\mathbb R}|f(x)|\,|\hat{f}(x)|e^{2\pi|xy|}\,dx\,dy<\infty, \] then \(f=0\) almost everywhere (\(\hat{f}\) stands for the Fourier transform of \(f\)). The central result of the paper under review is an analogue of this theorem for connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups. More precisely, the author proves that if \(G\) is such a group and \(f\in L^2(G)\) satisfies \[ \int_{\mathcal W} \int_G|f(x)|\, \|\pi_l(f)\|_{HS} e^{2\pi\|x\|\, \|l\|}|Pf(l)|\, dx\, dy<\infty, \tag \(*\) \] then \(f=0\) almost everywhere. Some words for the notation will be helpful: Choosing a strong Mal'tsev basis \({\mathcal B}=\{X_1,\dots,X_n\}\) of \({\mathfrak g}= \text{Lie}(G)\) and setting \({\mathfrak g}_i=\mathbb R-\text{span}\{X_1,\dots,X_i\}\) one defines the jump indices of an \(l\in{\mathfrak g}^*\) as the indices \(j\in\{1,\dots,n\}\) such that \({\mathfrak g}(l)+{\mathfrak g}_j\neq{\mathfrak g}(l)+{\mathfrak g}_{j-1}\), where \({\mathfrak g}(l)=\{X\in{\mathfrak g}\mid l([X,Y])=0\), \(\forall Y\in{\mathfrak g}\}\). For a fixed \(l\), denote as \(e(l)\) the set of jump indices for \(l\) and as \(e'(l)\) its complementary in \(\{1,\dots,n\}\). Let then \(V_{e'(l)}=\mathbb R-\text{span}\{X_{i^*}\mid i\in e'(l)\}\), \(V_{e(l)}=\mathbb R-\text{span}\{X_{i^*}\mid i\in e(l)\}\). If \({\mathcal U}:=\{l'\in{\mathfrak g}^*\mid e(l')=e(l)\}\), then \(\mathcal{W}:=V_{e'(l)}\cap{\mathcal U}\) intersects each coadjoint \(G\)-orbit \(G\cdot l=:{\mathcal O}_l\) (corresponding to a unitary irreducible representation \(\pi_l\)) in a single point making it a suitable cross-section for the generic coadjoint orbits in \({\mathfrak g}^*\). Furthermore \(\|\cdot\|_{HS}\) denotes the norm of the corresponding Hilbert-Schmidt operator and \(\pi_l\) is the equivalence class of the unitary irreducible representation \(\text{Ind}^G_H\chi_l\), that is, the induced representation from \(l\in{\mathfrak g}^*\…
