Notes

Normalization conventions vary; not every arbitrary function has a classical Fourier integral.

Schwartz spaceFourier transform

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The Fourier transform is a canonical automorphism of Schwartz space and extends, with additional structure, to L2L^2 functions and tempered distributions.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Fourier transformReciprocal lattice

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Fourier analysis on a direct Bravais lattice selects wavevectors GG satisfying eiGR=1e^{iG\cdot R}=1 for every lattice translation RR; these permitted Fourier labels form the reciprocal lattice.

How to interpret this relation type

A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.
