✦ Synopsis


By using trace formulae, the recent concept of upper multiplicity for an irreducible representation of a C*-algebra is linked to the earlier notion of strength of convergence in the dual of a nilpotent Lie group G. In particular, it is shown that if ? # G has finite upper multiplicity then this integer is the greatest strength with which a sequence in G can converge to ?. Upper multiplicities are calculated for all irreducible representations of the groups in the threadlike generalization of the Heisenberg group. The values are computed by combining new C*-theoretic results with detailed analysis of the convergence of coadjoint orbits and they show that every positive integer occurs for this class of groups.

Let G 4 be the unique, connected, simply connected, four-dimensional, nilpotent Lie group. In this paper, the discrete cocompact subgroups H of G 4 are classified and shown to be in 1-1 correspondence with triples p 1 p 2 p 3 ∈ 3 that satisfy p 2 p 3 > 0 and a certain restriction on p 1 .
