Fourier transform of functions mapping manifolds, is there a definition?

$\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$I have a problem which boils down to the analysis of functions of the form $$ f : \mathbb{R} \to \SO(3)^n $$ Since $\SO(3)$ is a compact group so is $\SO(3)^n$. Now if ...

Decay of the Fourier transform of a surface area measure

Let $\mu$ be a surface area measure of a manifold $M\hookrightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. If $M$ is the unit sphere $S^n$, it's known that surprisingly the Fourier transform of $\mu$ decays: $$|\hat\mu(\...
