New mathematical framework defines function smoothness in group theory

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel framework for defining and measuring the "smoothness" of functions within the context of group theory and Fourier analysis. This approach extends the concept of smoothness from real-valued functions to functions defined on groups, particularly focusing on the decay of Fourier coefficients. The method introduces an ordering of irreducible representations based on the eigenvalues of the associated Cayley graph Laplacian, which is dependent on the chosen group and generating set. AI

    What is Smoothness?

    arXiv:2609.03246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Smoothness of a function on the real line is reflected in the decay of its Fourier transform, which suggests that smoothness of a function in $L^2(G)$ for a group $G$ should mean concentration of the Fourier coefficients at low fr…
