HARDY AND MIYACHI THEOREMS FOR HEISENBERG MOTION GROUPS

Let $G=\mathbb{H}^{n}\rtimes K$ be the Heisenberg motion group, where $K=U(n)$ acts on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^{n}=\mathbb{C}^{n}\times \mathbb{R}$ by automorphisms. We formulate and prove two analogues of Hardy’s theorem on $G$. An analogue of Miyachi’s theorem for $G$ is also formulated and proved. This allows us to generalize and prove an analogue of the Cowling–Price uncertainty principle and prove the sharpness of the constant $1/4$ in all the settings.

VARIANTS OF MIYACHI’S THEOREM FOR NILPOTENT LIE GROUPS

We formulate and prove two versions of Miyachi’s theorem for connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie groups. This allows us to prove the sharpness of the constant 1/4 in the theorems of Hardy and of Cowling and Price for any nilpotent Lie group. These theorems are proved using a variant of Miyachi’s theorem for the group Fourier transform.
