Let σ be the geodesic inversion on a Heisenberg type group$N$with homogeneous dimension$Q$, and denote by$S$the jacobian of σ. We prove that, for $$ - \frac{1}{2}Q< \alpha< \frac{1}{2}Q$$ , the operators $$T_\alpha :f \mapsto S^{1/2 - \alpha /Q} (f \circ \sigma )$$ are bounded on certain homogeneous Sobolev spaces $$\mathcal{H}^\alpha (N)$$ if and only if$N$is an Iwasawa$N$-group.

Given positive integers$n$_{1}<$n$_{2}<... we show that the Hardy-type inequality $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\frac{{\left| {\hat f(n_k )} \right|}}{k}} \leqslant const\left\| f \right\|1$$ holds true for all$f$∈$H$^{1}, provided that the$n$_{$k$}'s, satisfy an appropriate (and indispensable) regularity condition. On the other hand, we exhibit inifinite-dimensional subspaces of$H$^{1}for whose elements the above inequality is always valid, no additional hypotheses being imposed. In conclusion, we extend a result of Douglas, Shapiro and Shields on the cyclicity of lacunary series for the backward shift operator.
