Abstract
We obtain an explicit representation formula for the sub-Laplacian on the Isotropic, three-dimensional Heisenberg group. Using the formula we obtain themeromorphic continuation of the resolvent to the logarithmic plane, the existence of boundary values in the continuous spectrum, and semiclassical asymptotics of the resolvent kernel. The asymptotic formulas show the contribution of each Hamiltonian path in Carnot geometry to the spatial and high-energy asymptotics of the resolvent (convolution) kernel for the sub-Laplacian.
