Reference request: Fourier transform on the multiplicative group of real numbers
Let us consider the three groups $(\mathbb{R},+)$, $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z},+)$ and $(\mathbb{R}^\times,\cdot)$ (where $\mathbb{R}^\times := \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}$). We endow $\mathbb{R}$ with ...

Who introduced the discrete Fourier transform?
I am trying to find the original reference which introduced the definition of discrete Fourier transform as used today. When did this modern formulation (which includes the indexing from n to N-1) of ...

On smoothness of a function and decay of its Fourier transform
I am not sure that this question is research level, but it was not answered at MSE for several days, so I place it here.
I am interested in a quantitative version of the principle that smoothness of ...

Where to find a table of fair Fourier transforms? [closed]
I am greatly dissatisfied with those tables of Fourier transforms, available online. I simply have no guess what method they use to derive their tables, but it seems completely off to me.
For ...

What corresponds to the operation of taking traces in of the Fourier transformation on a finite group?
I have a question about the Fourier transfomation on a finite non-comutative group. I hope that it is a known fact in the Representation Theory but I cannot find it written explicitly in textbooks.

How can discrete Fourier transform approximation prove the completeness of complex exponentials in $L^2(T)$?
I have a question about the completeness of complex exponentials in function spaces.
For the discrete set $ S = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} $, it is clear and intuitive that $ e^{2\pi ikx/n} $ for $ k = 0, 1, ...

Prove uniqueness of Radon transform without using Fourier transform
The uniqueness of Radon transform can be expressed by the following claim (I assumed that the function has compact support for simplicity):
If a continuous function with compact support has zero ...

Fourier approximation error in L^2 for piecewise continuous functions
Let $u:[0,2\pi)\to \mathbb{R}$ be the step function
$$u(x) = \begin{cases}
1 & \text{if } x \in [0,\pi), \\
0 & \text{if } x \in [\pi,2\pi)
\end{cases}$$
By a direct computation, one ...

Result of Beurling concerning absolute convergence of Fourier series of |f|
Let $f\in L^{1}(\mathbb T)$ and define the Fourier coefficient of $f$ : $\hat{f}(n)=\frac{1}{2\pi} \int _{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t) e^{-int} dt; (n\in \mathbb Z)$ and we put,
$$A(\mathbb T):= \{f\in L^{1}(\...

Fourier transform relation for spherical convolution
Let $f$ and $g$ be two functions defined over the 2d sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$.
The convolution between $f$ and $g$ is defined as a function $f * g$ over the space $SO(3)$ of 3d rotations as
$$(f*g)(R) = \...

Fourier transforms exhibiting symmetries about their critical points
Upon looking at the graphs of various Fourier sine and cosine transforms (ones without Dirac deltas in their domain) I've noticed a pattern that is probably already known, but that I thought would be ...

Comparison of (square) of a function and its Fourier transform in an integral
I am completely stuck on a comparison between $f(t)^2$ and $\hat{f}(t)^2$ in an integral.
Considering $f(t)$ of rapid decrease at infinity such that near zero: $f(t) \sim_0 t^{-\frac{1}{2}- \alpha}+o(...

Fourier transform of measures on $\mathbb{T}$
I'm currently working with Fourier transforms of measures on the $\mathbb{T}^n$ (more specifically in dimension two), i.e.
$$
\hat{\mu}(k) = \int_{\mathbb{T}^n} e^{i k \cdot x} d\mu(x)
$$
or something ...
