Algebras of entire functions and representations of the twisted Heisenberg group

TL;DR

This paper explores the algebraic structure of operators on twisted Fock spaces, revealing a new complexified Heisenberg group and analyzing the irreducibility of associated representations.

Contribution

It introduces a complexified Heisenberg group from twisted Fock spaces and studies the irreducibility of the resulting unitary representations.

Findings

The group $ ext{He}^n_ ext{lambda}( ext{C}) $ contains two copies of the classical Heisenberg group.

Operators lift to an irreducible unitary representation on the complexified group.

Restriction to the real form $ ext{He}^n_ ext{lambda}( ext{R}) $ is not irreducible.

Abstract

On the twisted Fock spaces $ \mathcal{F}^\lambda(\C^{2n}) $ we consider a family of unitary operators $\rho_\lambda(a,b) $ indexed by $ (a,b) \in \C^n \times \C^n.$ The composition formula for $ \rho_\lambda(a,b) \circ \rho_\lambda(a^\prime,b^\prime) $ leads us to a group $ \He^n_\lambda(\C) $ which contains two copies of the Heisenberg group $ \He^n.$ The operators $ \rho_\lambda(a,b) $ lift to $ \He_\lambda^n(\C) $ providing an irreducible unitary representation. However, its restriction to $ \He^n_\lambda(\R) $ is not irreducible.
