Paley--Wiener theorems on the Siegel upper half-space

Abstract

In this paper we study spaces of holomorphic functions on the Siegel upper half-space $\mathcal U$ and prove Paley-Wiener type theorems for such spaces. The boundary of $\mathcal U$ can be identified with the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H_n$. Using the group Fourier transform on $\mathbb H_n$, Ogden-Vagi proved a Paley-Wiener theorem for the Hardy space $H^2(\mathcal U)$. We consider a scale of Hilbert spaces on $\mathcal U$ that includes the Hardy space, the weighted Bergman spaces, the weighted Dirichlet spaces, and in particular the Drury-Arveson space, and the Dirichlet space $\mathcal D$. For each of these spaces, we prove a Paley-Wiener theorem, some structure theorems, and provide some applications. In particular we prove that the norm of the Dirichlet space modulo constants $\dot{\mathcal D}$ is the unique Hilbert space norm that is invariant under the action of the group of automorphisms of $\mathcal U$.
