We prove in this paper an L2-version of Beurling's theorem for an arbitrary exponential solvable Lie group G with a non-trivial center, which encompasses the setting of nilpotent connected and simply connected Lie groups. When G has a trivial center, the uncertainty principle may fail to hold and an example is produced. The representation theory and a localized Plancherel formula are fundamental tools in the proof.
Keywords: Uncertainty principle, Fourier transform, Plancherel formula.
