Non-vanishing of a "push-forward" Fourier–Harish-Chandra transform on a compact set
Let $G \subset \operatorname{GL}_d(\mathbb{R})$ be a non-compact semi-simple Lie group and $K \subset G$ a maximal compact subgroup. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ (resp. $\mathfrak{k}$) be the Lie algebra of $G$ ...

To find a DFT for complex functions on a semigroup
For a certain commutative semigroup of integer size $n$, $G=(\{1,2,\dots,n\},\circ: x\circ y\mapsto \min(n,x+y))$, consider all complex functions on it, denoted by $\mathbb C[G]$ or $\mathbb CG$. ...

Two equivalent definitions of semisimplicity of group representations, proof by Zorn's lemma, a “counterexample” from the Fourier transform theory
Consider a representation $A$ of a group $G$ in a complex vector space ${\mathbb{V}}$:
$$
A:~~G~\longrightarrow~\operatorname{GL}({\mathbb{V}})~~,
$$
and let ${\mathbb{V}}$ be decomposable into a ...

How to construct non-abelian functions?
I have found some functions $t_g, g \in G$ for cyclic groups $G=C_n$ which seem to satisfy the following convolution identity:
$$t_g(x+y) = \sum_{h \in G} t_{gh^{-1}}(x) t_h(y)$$
Example of such ...

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 related are Fourier transforms on finite groups and Fourier transforms on graphs?
Here are two generalizations of the notion of a Fourier transform. I am also aware of the Pontryagin Duality generalization for locally compact abelian groups, though I am personally more concerned ...

Certain Fourier transforms involving Whittaker function and Bessel functions
I recently meet the following two weird "Fourier transform" questions.
(I), Suppose that $F$ is a $p$-adic field (the same question can be asked over any local field, including $\mathbb{R}$ ...

Is there (fast) fourier transform for vector convolution?
Given a list of variables $u_1,\dots,u_m\in\mathbb R$ and $v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathbb R$ the standard convolution is defined
$$U*V(t)={\sum_{i}} u_iv_{t-i}.$$
Given a list of vectors $u_1,\dots,u_m\in\...

Image of Fourier transform for finite non-abelian groups
I am working on the Fourier transform over finite non-abelian groups, specifically following Diaconis. He defines it as follows (p.7):
Let $P$ be a probability on a finite group $G$. The Fourier ...

"Small" zero divisors in $\mathbb C[\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z]$
If $p$ is a prime, and $a,b$ are non-zero elements of the group algebra $\mathbb C[\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z]$ satisfying $a\ast b=0$, then $$|{\rm supp}\ a|+|{\rm supp}\ b|\ge p+2.$$ This is easy to prove ...

Fourier Transforms of Convolutions
Straightforward computations lead to the following standard property of Fourier transformation: it transforms convolutions into products, i.e. for functions $f$ and $g$ Schwartz class we have

Harmonic analysis on nilpotent Lie groups and the Campbell-Hausdorff formula
I am trying to understand the non-commutative analysis for nilpotent Lie groups, so I've been reading Corwin's and Greenleaf's book on the representation theory of nilpotent groups and going through ...

Relating the R-transform in free probability to noncommutative group representations
In traditional (commutative) probability theory, sums of random variables correspond to convolutions of distribution functions, which plays well with the Fourier Transform.
In free (noncommutative) ...

When one can expect $\widehat{(fg)} = \hat{f} \ast \hat{g}$; $f, g\in L^{1} (G)$?
Let $f, g \in L^{1}(\mathbb T)= L^{1} ([-\pi, \pi))$. We define, the Fourier transform of $f$ as follows:
$$\hat{f}(n)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} f(t) e^{-int} dt, \ (n\in \mathbb Z).$$
It is ...

How to get Fourier–Stieltjes transform on $\mathbb R$ from the nice function on $\mathbb T$ (periodic on $\mathbb R$)? [closed]
We put, $M(\mathbb R)= $The set of bounded complex Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb R$ and for $\mu \in M(\mathbb R)$, we define $||\mu||:= |\mu| (\mathbb R) = \text {total variation of } \ \mu $; and

Asymptotic Weyl Character Formula
Let $G$ be a complex semi-simple group along with a chosen pair of opposite Borel subgroups (so we get all the root-theoretic data we need). Let $\lambda$ be a dominant weight, and let $V(\lambda)$ be ...
