It is well known that (U(p,q),Hₙ) is a generalized Gelfand pair. Applying the associated spectral analysis, we prove a theorem of Wiener Tauberian type for the reduced Heisenberg group, which generalizes a known result for the case p = n, q = 0.
Let p,q,n be natural numbers such that p+q = n. Let be either ℂ, the complex numbers field, or ℍ, the quaternionic division algebra. We consider the Heisenberg group N(p,q,) defined ⁿ × ℑ , with group law given by (v,ζ)(v’,ζ’) = (v + v’, ζ + ζ’- 1/2 ℑ B(v,v’)), where . Let U(p,q,) be the group of n × n matrices with coefficients in that leave the form B invariant. We compute explicit fundamental solutions of some second order differential operators on N(p,q,) which are canonically associated to...
The Wigner Theorem states that the statistical distribution of the eigenvalues of a random Hermitian matrix converges to the semi-circular law as the dimension goes to infinity. It is possible to establish this result by using harmonic analysis on the Heisenberg group. In fact this convergence corresponds to the topology of the set of spherical functions associated to the action of the unitary group on the Heisenberg group.
