Journal of Lie Theory 25 (2015), No. 3, 613--655 Copyright Heldermann Verlag 2015 C*-Algebras with Norm Controlled Dual Limits and Nilpotent Lie Groups Jean Ludwig Institut Elie Cartan, Université de Lorraine, 57045 Metz, France jean.ludwig@univ-lorraine.fr Hedi Regeiba Institut Elie Cartan, Université de Lorraine, 57045 Metz, France hedi.regeiba@univ-lorraine.fr Motivated by the description of the C*-algebras of 5-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups as algebras of operator fields defined over their spectra, we introduce the family of C*-algebras with norm controlled dual limits and we show by explicit computations that the C*-algebras of every 5-dimensional nilpotent Lie group belong to this class. Keywords: 5-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, C*-algebras of Lie groups, algebras of operator fields, Fourier transform.
