Introduction A certain nilpotent Lie group plays an important role in the study of the foundations of quantum mechanics (cf.[30]and[41]) and the study of theta functions (see[4],[5],[14],[27],[28],[31],[39],[42]and[43]). For any positive integers m and n, we consider the Heisenberg group H(n,m) := (λ,µ,κ) λ,µ R(m,n), κ R(m,m), κ+µtλ symmetric R | ∈ ∈ n o endowed with the following multiplication law (λ,µ,κ) (λ′,µ′,κ′)= (λ+λ′,µ+µ′,κ+κ′+λtµ′ µtλ′). ◦ − (n,m) The Heisenberg group H is embedded in the symplectic group Sp(m+ R n,R) via the mapping I 0 0 tµ n λ I µ κ H(n,m) (λ,µ,κ)  m  Sp(m+n,R).

In fact, H R is obtained as the unipotent radical of the parabolic subgroup of the ra- tional boundary component F (cf.[6]pp.122-123,[29]p.21or[52]p.36). In n the case m = 1, the study on this Heisenberg group was done by many mathematicians, e.g., P. Cartier[4], J. Igusa[14], D. Mumford[27], [28] and many analysts(cf.[2]) explicitly. For the case m > 1, the multiplication law is alittle different from that of theHeisenberg group which is usually known and needs much more complicated computation than the case m = 1. (n,m) The aim of this paper is to investigate the Heisenberg group H in R more detail. In the previous papers [42] and [43], the author decomposed theL2-spaceL2 H(n,m) H(n,m) with respectto therightregular represen- Z \ R tation of H(n,m)(cid:16)explicitly and r(cid:17)elated the study of H(n,m) to that of theta R R (n,m) (n,m) functions, where H denotes the discrete subgroup of H consisting Z R (n,m) of integral elements. We need to investigate H for the study of Jacobi R forms(cf.[52],[57]), degeneration of abelian varieties(cf.[6]) and so on. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce the new (n,m) multiplication on H which will be useful in the subsequent sections. R (n,m) And we find the Lie algebra of H and obtain the commutation relation R (n,m) for H . In Section 3, we give an explicit description of theta functions R due to J. Igusa(cf. [14] or [27]) and identify the theta functions with the (n,m) smooth functions on H satisfying some conditions. The results of this R section will be used later. In Section 4, using the Mackey decomposition of a locally compact group(cf.[24]), we introduce the induced representations HEISENBERG GROUPS, THETA FUNCTIONS AND THE WEIL REPRESENTATION 3 (n,m) (n,m) of H and compute the unitary dual of H . In Section 5, we realize R R (n,m) (n,m) theSchro¨dinger representation of H as thethe representation of H R R induced by the one-dimensional unitary character of a certain subgroup of H(n,m). In Section 6, we consider the Fock representation UF,M, of R HF,M (n,m) H . We prove that for a positive definite symmetric half-integral matrix R (cid:0) (cid:1) of degree m, UF,M is unitarily equivalent to the Schro¨dinger representa- M tion US,M. We also find an orthonormal basis for the representation space . This section is mainly based on the papers [31, 32, 45]. In Section F,M H 7, we prove that for any positive definite symmetric, half-integral matrix of (n,m) degree m, the lattice representation π of H is unitarily equivalent to M R the (det 2 )n-multiples of the Schro¨dinger representation US,M. We give M a relation between the lattice representation π and theta functions. This M section is based on the paper [46]. In Section 8, we find the coadjoint orbits (n,m) of H . And we describe explicitly the connection between the coad- R (n,m) joints orbits and the irreducible unitary representations of H following R the work of A. Kirillov(cf. [16],[17]and[18]). In Section 9, considering the Schro¨dinger representation US,Im, L2 R(m,n),dξ , we study the Hermite operators and the Hermite functions. We prove that Hermite functions (cid:0) (cid:0) (cid:1)(cid:1) defined in this section form an orthonormal basis for L2 R(m,n),dξ and eigenfunctions for Hermite operators, the Fourier transform and the Fourier (cid:0) (cid:1) cotransform. We mention that Hermitian functions are used to construct non-holomorphic modular forms of half-integral weight(cf.[43]). Implic- (n,m) itly the study of the Heisenberg group H implies that the confluent R hypergeometric equations (in this case, the Hermite equation) are related to the study of automorphic forms. In Section 10, we investigate the ir- reducible components of L2 H(n,m) H(n,m) . We describe the connection Z \ R among these irreducible com(cid:16)ponents, the Sc(cid:17)hro¨dinger representations, the Fock representations and the lattice representations explicitly. We also pro- vide the orthonormal bases for the representation spaces respectively. A decomposition of L2(Γ G) for a general nilpotent Lie group G and a dis- \ crete subgroupΓ of G was dealt by C. C. Moore(cf.[26]). In Section 11, we briefly review the symplectic group and its action on the Siegel upper half plane to be needed in the subsequent sections. We construct the universal covering group of the symplectic group. In Section 12, we present some properties of the geometry on the Siegel upper half plane which are used in the subsequent sections. In Section 13, we study the Weil representation associated to a positive definite symmetric real matrix of degree m. We describe the explicit actions for the Weil representation. We describe the results on the Weil representation which were obtained by Kashiwara and Vergne[15]. In Section 14, we construct the covariant maps for the Weil representation. In Section 15, we review various type of theta series asso- ciated to quadratic forms. In Section 16, we discuss the theta series with 4 JAE-HYUNYANG harmonic coefficients. Pluriharmonic polynomials play an important role in the study of the Weil representation. We prove that the theta series with pluriharmonic polynomials as coefficients are a modular form for a suitable congruence subgroup of the Siegel modular group. This section is mainly based on the book [28]. In Section 17, we investigate the relation between the Weil representation and the theta series. We construct modular forms using the covariant maps for the Weil representation. In Section 18, we discuss the spectral theory on the principally polarized abelian variety A Ω attached to an element of the Siegel upper half plane. We decompose the L2-space of A into irreducibles explicitly. We refer to [47] for more detail. Ω Finally I would like to mention that a Heisenberg group was paid to an attention by some differential geometers, e.g., M. L. Gromov, in the sense of a parabolic geometry. A Heisenberg group is regarded as a principal fibre bundle over an Euclidean space with a vector space or a circle as fibres and may be also regarded as the boundary of a complex ball. The geometry of this group is quite different from that of an Euclidean space. Notations: We denote by Z, R and C the ring of integers, the field of real numbers, and the field of complex numbers respectively. C∗ denotes the multiplicative group consisting of all nonzero complex numbers. C∗ denotes 1 the multiplicative group consisting of all complex numbers z with z = 1. | | Sp(n,R) denotes the symplectic group of degree n. H denotes the Siegel n upper half plane of degree n. The symbol “:=” means that the expression on the right is the definition of that on the left. We denote by Z+ the set of all positive integers. F(k,l) denotes the set of all k l matrices with entries × in a commutative ring F. For any M F(k,l), tM denotes the transposed ∈ matrix of M. For a complex matrix A, A denotes the complex conjugate of A. The diagonal matrix with entries a , ,a on the diagonal position is 1 n ··· denoted by diag(a , ,a ). For A F(k,k), σ(A) denotes the trace of A. 1 n ··· ∈ For A F(k,l) and B F(k,k), we set B[A]= tABA. I denotes the identity k ∈ ∈ matrix of degreek. For apositive integer m, Sym(m,K) denotes the vector space consisting of all symmetric m m matrices with entries in a field K. × If H is a complex matrix or a complex bilinear form on a complex vector space,ReH andImH denotetherealpartofH andtheimaginarypartofH respectively. If X is a space, (X), C(X) and C∞(X) denotes the Schwarz S c space of infinitely differentiable functions on X that are rapidly decreasing at infinity, the space of all continuous functions on X and the vector space consisting of all compactly supported and infinitely differentiable functions on X respectively.
