### A characterisation of the Fourier transform on the‎ ‎Heisenberg group

#### Abstract

‎The aim of this paper is to show that any continuous‎ ‎$*$-homomorphism of $L^1(\C^n)$(with twisted convolution as‎ ‎multiplication) into $\CB(L^2(\Rn))$ is essentially a Weyl‎ ‎transform‎. ‎From this we deduce a similar characterisation for the‎ ‎group Fourier transform on the Heisenberg group‎, ‎in terms of‎ ‎convolution‎.
