Continuité de la transformation de Fourier nilpotente. (Continuity of the nilpotent Fourier transform). (French) Zbl 0643.43003
Let $${\mathfrak g}$$ be the Lie algebra of a real connected simply connected nilpotent Lie group G and let $${\mathfrak g}^*$$ be the dual of $${\mathfrak g}$$. In [Ann. Phys. 111, 61-110, 111-151 (1978; Zbl 0377.53024 and Zbl 0377.53025.] F. Bayen et. al defined a map $$\theta$$ from the space S(G) of rapidly decreasing $$C^{\infty}$$ functions on G to the space of rapidly decreasing $$C^{\infty}$$ functions on a dense subset of $${\mathfrak g}^*$$ and called the map the nilpotent Fourier transform. In this paper the author shows that $$\theta$$ is a continuous map in the usual topologies.
