Fourier analysis on the Heisenberg group. I. Schwartz space

We derive a usable characterization of the group FT (Fourier Transform) of Schwartz space on the Heisenberg group $\text{H}$ⁿ, in terms of certain asymptotic series. To accomplish this we study in detail the FT of multiplication and differentiation operators on $\text{H}$ⁿ, the relation of multiple Fourier series to the FT, and the process of group contraction on $\text{H}$ⁿ. We use our characterization to solve a form of the division problem for convolution of $\text{H}$ⁿ, which has application to Hardy space theory.
