Abstract

Let G be a connected, simply connected nilpotent Lie group and Γ a lattice subgroup of G. The quasi regular representation decomposes as a direct sum of unitary irreducible representations of G. The nilmanifold G/Γ is called nilmanifold with flat orbits if the coadjoint orbit corresponding to any element of the spectrum of ℛΓ is flat. In this note, we give a new multiplicity formula related to the decomposition into irreducibles of ℛΓ in the case when G/Γ is a nilmanifold with flat orbits. As an application, we first prove that every nilmanifold with flat orbits satisfies the Moore formula. We also give partial answers to some related questions proposed by Brezin and by Corwin and Greenleaf.
