A spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group and a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on n
[Un théorème de Paley-Wiener spectral pour le groupe d’Heisenberg et un théorème de support pour les moyennes shériques tordues sur n ]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 56 (2006) no. 2, pp. 459-473.

Nous prouvons un théorème de Paley-Wiener spectral pour le groupe d’Heisenberg en utilisant un théorème du support pour les moyennes sphériques tordues sur n . Si f(z)e 1 4|z| 2 est une fonction dans la classe de Schwartz nous montrons que f a un support dans une boule de n de rayon B si et seulement si f×μ r (z)=0 pour r>B+|z| et pour tout z n . C’est un analogue du théorème du support prouvé dans les contextes euclidiens et hyperboliques par Helgason. Lorsque n=1 nous montrons que les deux conditions f×μ r (z)=μ r ×f(z)=0 pour r>B+|z| impliquent un théorème du support pour une grande classe de fonctions à croissance exponentielle. Il est surprenant de constater que ce dernier résultat ne se généralise pas aux dimensions supérieures.

We prove a spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group by means of a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on n . If f(z)e 1 4|z| 2 is a Schwartz class function we show that f is supported in a ball of radius B in n if and only if f×μ r (z)=0 for r>B+|z| for all z n . This is an analogue of Helgason’s support theorem on Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. When n=1 we show that the two conditions f×μ r (z)=μ r ×f(z)=0 for r>B+|z| imply a support theorem for a large class of functions with exponential growth. Surprisingly enough,this latter result does not generalize to higher dimensions.
