Fuglede's Conjecture In Some Finite Abelian Groups, Thomas Fallon Sep 2023

Fuglede's Conjecture In Some Finite Abelian Groups, Thomas Fallon

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation thoroughly examines Fuglede's Conjecture within some discrete settings, shedding light on its intricate details. Fuglede's Conjecture establishes a profound connection between the geometric property of being a tiling set and the analytical attribute of being a spectral set. By exploring the conjecture on various discrete settings, this thesis delves into the implications and ramifications of the conjecture, unraveling its implications within the field.

A Course In Harmonic Analysis, Jason Murphy

AOER Course Materials

These notes were written to accompany the courses Math 6461 and Math 6462 (Harmonic Analysis I and II) at Missouri University of Science & Technology during the 2018-2019 academic year. The goal of these notes is to provide an introduction to a range of topics and techniques in harmonic analysis, covering material that is interesting not only to students of pure mathematics, but also to those interested in applications in computer science, engineering, physics, and so on.

The theory of supercharacters, which generalizes classical character theory, was recently introduced by P. Diaconis and I.M. Isaacs, building upon earlier work of C. Andre. We study supercharacter theories on $(Z/nZ)^d$ induced by the actions of certain matrix groups, demonstrating that a variety of exponential sums of interest in number theory (e.g., Gauss, Ramanujan, and Kloosterman sums) arise in this manner. We develop a generalization of the discrete Fourier transform, in which supercharacters play the role of the Fourier exponential basis. We provide a corresponding uncertainty principle and compute the associated constants in several cases.
