Fourier Analysis

(1.1) |〈u,v〉| ≤ ‖u‖ ‖v‖. An outline of a proof of this fundamental inequality, when V = R and ‖ · ‖ is the standard Eucledian norm, is given in Exercise 24 of Section 2.7 of [1]. We will give a proof in the general case at the end of this section. LetW be an n dimensional subspace of V and let P : V 7→W be the corresponding projection operator, i.e. if v ∈ V then w = Pv ∈W is the element in W w...

Montréal Notes on Quadratic Fourier Analysis

These are notes to accompany four lectures that I gave at the School on additive combinatorics, held in Montréal, Québec between March 30th and April 5th 2006. My aim is to introduce “quadratic fourier analysis” in so far as we understand it at the present time. Specifically, we will describe “quadratic objects” of various types and their relation to additive structures, particularly four-term ...

Fourier Analysis on Motion Using Screw Parameters

In this paper, the author presents the bi-invariant (Haar) integral for the group of rigid-body motions (Euclidean group) in three-dimensional space in terms of finite screw parameters, and proceeds to develop the matrix elements of irreducible unitary representations in this parameterization. This allows one to integrate and expand functions of motion described in terms of screw parameters. In...
