Annotation -
General harmonic analysis generalizes the classical Fourier analysis and the correspondiong analysis of partial differential equations for other groups than the translational R^n. First part of the lecture.
Last update: T_MUUK (13.05.2015)
Aim of the course -

Teach basics of harmonic analysis, mostly the Fourier transform on locally compact groups and its generalization to Banach *-algebras.

Syllabus -

1) Introduction

Heat equation (for different function spaces), Fourier transform and Fourier series, Fourier transform of the Gaussian function by Cauchy theorem

2) Recall of definitions and theorems in topology and measure theory

Final and initial topology, local compactness, Alexandrov compactification, Tychonov theorem on products of compact sets, Banach--Alaoglu theorem.

Borel and Radon measures

4) Basics on Banach-* and C*-algebras

Spectrum, resolvent, theorem of Gelfand and Mazur, examples: C(X), B(H), D (disc algebra), theorem on the Gelfand transform and theorems of Stone-Weierstrass (without proof) and Gelfand--Naimark

5) Locally compact groups

Definition and examples, Haar measure for locally compact groups (existence with proof), modular factors, p-adic groups

6) Basics on representation theory of (topological) groups

Schur lemma (on intertwining-equivariant maps), representations of commutative groups, characters of groups

7) L^1(G)

L^1(G) is a Banach *-algebra.

Group algebra of a finite group, Fourier transform on locally compact groups, Fourier transform is homomorphism of the semigroups (L^1(G),*) and (L^1(G),.)

8) Characters

Characters of Z, S^1, R^n. Characters as a locally compact group, Plancherel measure and theorem (without proof)

9) Pontryagin duality (partial proof)

10) Application

Poisson summation formula on R^n (or locally compact commutative groups) and transformation rules for theta-functions.
