Reconstruction of Paley-Wiener functions on the Heisenberg group

Abstract: Let $M$ be a Riemmanian manifold with bounded geometry. We consider a generalization of Paley-Wiener functions and Lagrangian splines on $M$. An analog of the Paley-Wiener theorem is given. We also show that every Paley-Wiener function on a manifold is uniquely determined by its values on some discrete sets of points. The main result of the paper is a generalization of the Whittaker-Shannon formula for reconstruction of a Paley-Wiener function from its values on a discrete set. It is shown that every Paley- Wiener function on $M$ is a limit of some linear combinations of fundamental solutions of the powers of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. The result is new even in the one-dimentional case.
