RT7.2. Finite Abelian Groups: Fourier Analysis

Показать описание
Representation Theory: With orthogonality of characters, we have an orthonormal basis of L^2(G). We note the basic philosophy behind the Fourier transform and apply it to the character basis. From this comes the definition of convolution, explored in 7.3.

The main real world application is trig interpolation polynomials, which are a course unto themselves. The goals of this playlist is to map out the main results for compact groups. Using finite groups, there is no hard analysis, but the story is more or less the same. I'm also interested in motivating Fourier series through group theory.

The trivial example gives the whole game away. After that, it's bookkeeping. I've been posting problems sets with solutions at ureddit. More examples there.

The big questions for here are classifying irreducibles, determining what irreducibles occur in a given representation, and defining projections onto the irreducible subspaces.

is there any practical consequence of this fourier analysis on a finite abelian group? i can image that.

i mean the example in your lecture is a bit trivial for me
