TL;DR
The paper proves Beurling-type uncertainty principles for H-type groups by combining Radon-transform methods with a Gutzmer-formula framework tailored to the H-type motion group. It develops Radon-based reductions to the Heisenberg setting and establishes Gutzmer identities for center dimensions $m=2$ and $m=3$, including both the original and reduced H-type groups. The results hinge on class-one representations, Laguerre spectral data, and holomorphic extension of the group Fourier transform, yielding rigidity: suitably decaying functions with compatible spectral decay must vanish. Overall, the work extends Beurling-type theorems from the Heisenberg group to a broader class of nilpotent Lie groups with controlled automorphism structure, providing new tools for uncertainty principles on noncommutative groups. The combination of Radon-transform reductions and Gutzmer-type identities offers a robust route to sharp Beurling-type results in nonabelian harmonic analysis.
Abstract
We prove an analogue of Beurling's theorem on the H-type groups of certain dimensions after establishing the Gutzmer's formula for the H-type groups. We also obtain some other versions of the theorem using the modified Radon transform.
