Given an $L^2(\Bbb R)$ function $f$, let $c_n(f)$ be its $n$th Fourier coefficient. Define an isometry $T: L^2 \to \ell^2$ by $Tf = (c_0(f),c_1(f),\ldots)$. Let $F$ be the Fourier transform operator; it's an isometry on $L^2$. So how does $T\circ F$ act on $\ell^2$? What is it doing to the Fourier coefficients?

Here, $F(f)(s) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-2\pi i st}f(t) dt$.

  • Domain is $\Bbb R$, the formula is $F(f)(s) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-2\pi i st}f(t) dt$. – user541020 Nov 04 '19 at 23:25

    To clarify, are you asking for whether there is an operator $G$ such that $G \circ T = T \circ F$, and if so to describe what $G$ is? (confusion coming from the fact $T \circ F$ doesn't act on $\ell^2$ formally) – Brian Moehring Nov 04 '19 at 23:34
  • Can you give a formula for $c_k(f)$ as well. When I went to school elements of $L^2(\mathbb T)$ had Fourier coefficients in $\ell^2$, not elements of $L^2(\mathbb R)$. What am I missing? – kimchi lover Nov 05 '19 at 12:51
