We discuss a fine tuning of the co-and contra-variant transforms through construction of specific fiducial and reconstructing vectors. The technique is illustrated on three different forms of induced representations of the Heisenberg group. The covariant transform provides intertwining operators between pairs of representations. In particular, we obtain the Zak transform as an induced covariant transform intertwining the Schrödinger representation on L 2 (R) and the lattice (nilmanifold) representation on L 2 T 2 . Induced covariant transforms in other pairs are Fock-Segal-Bargmann and theta transforms. Furthermore, we describe peelings which map the group-theoretical induced representations to convenient representation spaces of analytic functions. Finally, we provide a condition which can be imposed on the reconstructing vector in order to obtain an intertwining operator from the induced contravariant transform.
