Questions tagged [harmonic-analysis]
Harmonic analysis is the generalisation of Fourier analysis. Use this tag for analysis on locally compact groups (e.g. Pontryagin duality), eigenvalues of the Laplacian on compact manifolds or graphs, and the abstract study of Fourier transform on Euclidean spaces (singular integrals, Littlewood-Paley theory, etc). Use the (wavelets) tag for questions on wavelets, and the (fourier-analysis) for more elementary topics in Fourier theory.

Fourier inversion theorem for compact groups
I am searching for a good reference for finding the fourier inversion theorem for compact (abelian, or non abelian) groups (we shall denote such a group by $G$). In particular, I would like to see a ...

Classification of $C^{*}(G)$ for a compact group $G$
I want to prove that $C^{*}(G)\cong \oplus_{\pi\in\hat{G}}M_{dim\pi}(\mathbb{C})$. Of course, one wants to use the Peter-Weyl theorem for this (the version, which states that $L^{2}(G)\cong \oplus_{\...

On the convolution identity of a sub arc of circle and the open set which is thickened epsilon amount of another subarc in circle.
Let $\sigma_I=\{e^{2i\pi t}:t\in I\}$ and $\sigma_J=\{e^{2\pi i t}:t\in J\}$ be two disjoint subarcs on the the first quadrant of unit circle of arc length $\theta$, where $I,J\subseteq [0,1/4]$ of ...

Can Young's inequality give a pointwise bound for a convolution?
I’m trying to understand a step in Appendix A.1 of Bejenaru and Herr, The cubic Dirac equation: small initial data in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^3)$. The paper proves global well-posedness for the cubic Dirac ...

Why is the Reciprocal Log Transform so "un-creative"? Why does it seem to "interpolate" between Fourier, Mellin and Laplace?
I'm struggling to provide a proper conceptual reason for what is going on here. For background, I was taught in school the three major transforms, Laplace first, Fourier second and Mellin last (but ...

What is the Haar measure on the Bohr compactification $b\mathbb{Z}$ of the integers?
What is the Haar measure on the Bohr compactification $b\mathbb{Z}$ of the integers? We (my collaborators and I) suspect that it is $$ \int_{b\mathbb{Z}} d\mu_H f(n) = \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{2N+1} \...

What do self-adjoint operators on $L^2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times} / \mathbb{Q}^{\times})$ look like?
Consider the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ = $L^2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times} / \mathbb{Q}^{\times})$, where $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times}$ is the idèle group of $\mathbb{Q}$ equipped with its ...

Classification of an LCA group C*-algebra
I want to show that $C^{*}(G)\cong C_{0}(\hat{G})$, where G is a locally compact abelian group. I alredy know that, since G is abelian $C^{*}(G)$ is also abelian and that one applies the Gelfand ...

Understanding an argument involving integration by parts and an estimate for the gradient
This question is about a seemingly trivial argument in the paper "Maximal estimates for averages over space curves". For days now, I have been thinking to myself that I could write the proof ...

Real interpolation: Why do the J- and K-methods scale everything by 1/t?
I'm currently studying interpolation spaces, but I'm struggling to understand some of the intuition behind real interpolation. There are two equivalent methods to define the real interpolation functor,...

Is the space $AP(\mathbb{R})$ of Bohr's almost-periodic functions dense in $L_2(b\mathbb{R})$ ($b\mathbb{R}$ is the Bohr compactification)
Is the space $AP(\mathbb{R})$ of Bohr's almost-periodic functions dense in $L_2(b\mathbb{R},d\mu_H)$, where $b\mathbb{R}$ is the Bohr compactification of the reals and $d\mu_H$ is the Haar measure on $...

Is there exist a decompositions for the space of functions on manifolds with group action?
Suppose that there is a group action on a manifold, $G\times M\to M$. Does the space of functions on $M$ decompose into the direct sum of irreducible representations of $G$? I am familiar with the (...

Solving the Heat equation on the integers via Fourier transformation
I am currently trying to solve the heat equation on the integers (viewed as an LCA group) using the Fourier transform on the integers. Of course one can't take the normal Laplace operator, but instead ...
