Title: Fourier Analysis via the Heisenberg Group
Abstract: In this talk we will look at some aspects of classical Fourier analysis from the representation theory point of view. The Weil-Brezin map is a magical bridge that connects Fourier analysis on the real line with the unitary representations of the Heisenberg group. As an interesting application, we will solve the problem of diagonalising Fourier operator on the Hilbert space L^2(R) of square-integrable functions on the reals.
