Abstract

We calculate the group Fourier transform of regular homogeneous distributions defined on the Heisenberg group, Hn. All such distributions can be written as an infinite sum of terms of the form f(θ)w¯-kP(z), where (z,t)n×, w=|z|2-it, θ=arg(ww¯ and P(z) is an element of an orthonormal basis for the spherical harmonics. The formulas derived give the Fourier transform of the distribution in terms of a smooth kernel of the variable θ and the Weyl correspondent of P.
