Admissible wavelets associated with the Heisenberg group

Heping Liu and Lizhong Peng

Vol. 180 (1997), No. 1, 101–123
Abstract

Let NAK be the Iwasawa decomposition of group SU(n + 1,1). The Iwasawa subgroup P = NA can be identified with the generalized upper half–plane Un+1 and has a natural representation U on the L2–space of the Heisenberg group L2(Hn). We decompose L2(Hn) into the direct sum of the irreducible invariant closed subspaces under U. The restrictions of U on these subspaces are square–integrable. We characterize the admissible condition in terms of the Fourier transform and define the wavelet transform with respect to admissible wavelets. The wavelet transform leads to isometric operators from the irreducible invariant closed subspaces of L2(Hn) to L2(Un+1), the weighted L2–spaces on Un+1. By selecting a set of mutual orthogonal admissible wavelets, we get the direct sum decomposition of L2(Un+1) with the first component Aν(Un+1), the (weighted) Bergman space.
