Let $F_{2n,2}$ be the free nilpotent Lie group of step two on $2n$ generators, and let $\mathbf P$ denote the affine automorphism group of $F_{2n,2}$. In this article the theory of continuous wavelet transform on $F_{2n,2}$ associated with $\mathbf P$ is developed, and then a type of radial wavelets is constructed. Secondly, the Radon transform on $F_{2n,2}$ is studied and two equivalent characterizations of the range for Radon transform are given. Several kinds of inversion Radon transform formulae are established. One is obtained from the Euclidean Fourier transform, the others are from group Fourier transform. By using wavelet transform we deduce an inversion formula of the Radon transform, which does not require the smoothness of functions if the wavelet satisfies the differentiability property. Specially, if $n=1$, $F_{2,2}$ is the $3$-dimensional Heisenberg group $H^1$, the inversion formula of the Radon transform is valid which is associated with the sub-Laplacian on $F_{2,2}$. This result cannot be extended to the case $n\geq 2$.

Differential operators $D_x$, $D_y$, and $D_z$ are formed using the action of the $3$-dimensional discrete Heisenberg group $G$ on a set $S$, and the operators will act on functions on $S$. The Laplacian operator $L=D_x^2 + D_y^2 + D_z^2$ is a difference operator with variable differences which can be associated to a unitary representation of $G$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(S)$. Using techniques from harmonic analysis and representation theory, we show that the Laplacian operator is locally solvable.

In this paper we estimate the $(L^p-L^2)$-norm of the complex harmonic projectors $\pi_{\ell\ell'}$, $1\le p\le 2$, uniformly with respect to the indexes $\ell,\ell'$. We provide sharp estimates both for the projectors $\pi_{\ell\ell'}$, when $\ell,\ell'$ belong to a proper angular sector in $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$, and for the projectors $\pi_{\ell 0}$ and $\pi_{0 \ell}$. The proof is based on an extension of a complex interpolation argument by C.~Sogge. In the appendix, we prove in a direct way the uniform boundedness of a particular zonal kernel in the $L^1$ norm on the unit sphere of $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$.

Let $\Gamma$ be a rank-one arithmetic subgroup of a semisimple Lie group~$G$. For fixed $K$-Type, the spectral side of the Selberg trace formula defines a distribution on the space of infinitesimal characters of~$G$, whose discrete part encodes the dimensions of the spaces of square-integrable $\Gamma$-automorphic forms. It is shown that this distribution converges to the Plancherel measure of $G$ when $\Ga$ shrinks to the trivial group in a certain restricted way. The analogous assertion for cocompact lattices $\Gamma$ follows from results of DeGeorge-Wallach and Delorme.

Let $\Delta$ be a left invariant sub-Laplacian on a Lie group $G$ and let $\nabla$ be the associated gradient. In this paper we investigate the boundness of the Riesz transform $\nabla\Delta^{-1/2}$ on Lie groups $G$ which are amenable and with exponential volume growth and on certain homogenous spaces.

We give the irreducible decomposition of the tensor product of an analytic continuation of the holomorphic discrete series of $\SU(2, 2)$ with its conjugate.

We prove an integration formula involving Jack polynomials conjectured by I.~P.~Goulden and D.~M.~Jackson in connection with enumeration of maps in surfaces.
