Let H n be the (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group, let p,q be two non-negative integers satisfying p+q=n and let G be the semidirect product of U(p,q) and H n . So L 2 ( H n ) has a natural structure of G-module. We obtain a decomposition of L 2 ( H n ) as a direct integral of irreducible representations of G. On the other hand, we give an explicit description of the joint spectrum σ(L,iT) in L 2 ( H n ) where L = j = 1 p ( X j 2 + Y j 2 ) - j = p + 1 n ( X j 2 + Y j 2 ) , and where X 1 , Y 1 , . . . , X n , Y n , T denotes the standard basis of the Lie algebra of H n . Finally, we obtain a spectral characterization of the bounded operators on L 2 ( H n ) that commute with the action of G.

So $L^\{2\}(H_\{n\})$ has a natural structure of G-module. We obtain a decomposition of $L^\{2\}(H_\{n\})$ as a direct integral of irreducible representations of G. On the other hand, we give an explicit description of the joint spectrum σ(L,iT) in $L^\{2\}(H_\{n\})$ where $L=\sum _\{j=1\}^\{p\} (X_\{j\}^\{2\}+Y_\{j\}^\{2\}) - \sum _\{j=p+1\}^\{n\} (X_\{j\}^\{2\}+Y_\{j\}^\{2\})$, and where $\{X_\{1\},Y_\{1\},...,X_\{n\},Y_\{n\},T\}$ denotes the standard basis of the Lie algebra of $H_\{n\}$.

So $L^{2}(H_{n})$ has a natural structure of G-module. We obtain a decomposition of $L^{2}(H_{n})$ as a direct integral of irreducible representations of G. On the other hand, we give an explicit description of the joint spectrum σ(L,iT) in $L^{2}(H_{n})$ where $L=\sum _{j=1}^{p} (X_{j}^{2}+Y_{j}^{2}) - \sum _{j=p+1}^{n} (X_{j}^{2}+Y_{j}^{2})$, and where ${X_{1},Y_{1},...,X_{n},Y_{n},T}$ denotes the standard basis of the Lie algebra of $H_{n}$. Finally, we obtain a spectral characterization of the bounded operators on $L^{2}(H_{n})$ that commute with the action of G.
