Description
The Heisenberg group plays an important role in several branches of mathematics, such as representation theory, partial differential equations, number theory, several complex variables and quantum mechanics. This monograph deals with various aspects of harmonic analysis on the Heisenberg group, which is the most commutative among the non-commutative Lie groups, and hence gives the greatest opportunity for generalizing the remarkable results of Euclidean harmonic analysis. The aim of this text is to demonstrate how the standard results of abelian harmonic analysis take shape in the non-abelian setup of the Heisenberg group. Thangavelu's exposition is clear and well developed, and leads to several problems worthy of further consideration. Any reader who is interested in pursuing research on the Heisenberg group will find this unique and self-contained text invaluable.

Description
The Heisenberg group has been implicitly present in much of mathematics and physics for a long time. Thangavelu's work is developed within the framework of harmonic analysis (Fourier transforms, convolution algebra, and related ideas) and gives a survey of the field. Additionally the author discusses in detail the representation theory of the group and its relationship to the theory of classical special functions. Among the topics covered are the Plancherel and Paley-Wiener theorems, spectral theory of the sublaplacian, Wiener-Tauberian theorems, Bocher-Riesz means and multipliers for the Fourier transform. The exposition is systematic, and leads to several problems and conjectures for further consideration. Any reader who is interested in pursuing research on the Heisenberg group should find this text of use.
