The Mellin Transform and the Plancherel Theorem for the Discrete Heisenberg Group

Abstract

In the classical representation theory of locally compact groups, there are well-known constructions of a unitary dual space of irreducible representations, the Fourier transform, and the Plancherel theorem. In this paper, we present analogs of these constructions for the discrete Heisenberg group and its irreducible infinite-dimensional representations in a vector space without topology.
