A Density Condition for Interpolation on the Heisenberg Group

Abstract

Let $N$ be the Heisenberg group. We consider left-invariant multiplicity free subspaces of $L^2(N)$. We prove a necessary and sufficient density condition in order that such subspaces possess the interpolation property with respect to a class of discrete subsets of $N$ that includes the integer lattice. We exhibit a concrete example of a subspace that has interpolation for the integer lattice, and we also prove a necessary and sufficient condition for shift invariant subspaces to possess a singly-generated orthonormal basis of translates.
