Abstract:

If an integrable function $f$ on the Heisenberg group is supported on the set $B \times \mathbb {R}$ where $B \subset \mathbb {C}^n$ is compact and the group Fourier transform $\hat {f}(\lambda )$ is a finite rank operator for all $\lambda \in \mathbb {R} \setminus \{0\},$ then $f \equiv 0.$
