It seems pretty clear a priori that Fourier analysis on a discrete cocompact group of motions of $\mathbb{E}^n$ should be quite tractable (since, by Bieberbach, such groups are almost $\mathbb{Z}^n,$ but I have not seen a lucid exposition of such, so any pointers or words of wisdom would be welcome.

I don't too much about this area, but I think the jump is not quite as small as one might first hope. That said, one place to start with some aspects of their Fourier analysis might be with a description of their $C^*$-algebras, for which this paper of K. F. Taylor mathstat.dal.ca/~kft/ResearchRelated/… could be worth a look. – Yemon Choi Jul 2 at 4:40
