Abstract

We introduce and study a contraction of the principal series representations of $SL(2,\mathbf{R})$ to the unitary irreducible representations of the Heisenberg group. We interpret the contraction results in terms of Weyl correspondences on the coadjoint orbits associated with the representations.
