Abstract
We calculate the group Fourier transform of regular homogeneous distributions defined on the Heisenberg group, . All such distributions can be written as an infinite sum of terms of the form , where , , 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.
