Cayley Graphs and the Discrete Fourier Transform

چکیده
Given a group G, we can construct a graph relating the elements of G to each other, called the Cayley graph. Using Fourier analysis on a group allows us to apply our knowledge of the group to gain insight into problems about various properties of the graph. Ideas from representation theory are powerful tools for analysis of groups and their Cayley graphs, but we start with some simpler theory to motivate the use of group representations.

Lectures 15: Cayley Graphs of Abelian Groups
In which we show how to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Cayley graphs of Abelian groups, we find tight examples for various results that we proved in earlier lectures, and, along the way, we develop the general theory of harmonic analysis which includes the Fourier transform of periodic functions of a real variable, the discrete Fourier transform of periodic functions of an integer var...
متن کاملFast Fourier Analysis for SL 2 over a Finite Fieldand Related
This paper studies the complexity of performing Fourier analysis for the group SL 2 (K) where K is the nite eld of q elements. Direct computation of a complete set of Fourier transforms for a complex-valued function f on SL 2 (K) requires q 6 operations. A similar bound holds for performing Fourier inversion. Here we show that for both operations this naive upper bound may be reduced to O(q 4 l...
متن کاملQuantum expanders from any classical Cayley graph expander
We give a simple recipe for translating walks on Cayley graphs of a group G into a quantum operation on any irrep of G. Most properties of the classical walk carry over to the quantum operation: degree becomes the number of Kraus operators, the spectral gap becomes the gap of the quantum operation (viewed as a linear map on density matrices), and the quantum operation is efficient whenever the ...
متن کاملA general construction of Reed-Solomon codes based on generalized discrete Fourier transform
In this paper, we employ the concept of the Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform, which in turn relies on the Hasse derivative of polynomials, to give a general construction of Reed-Solomon codes over Galois fields of characteristic not necessarily co-prime with the length of the code. The constructed linear codes enjoy nice algebraic properties just as the classic one.
متن کاملComputing Wiener and hyper–Wiener indices of unitary Cayley graphs
The unitary Cayley graph Xn has vertex set Zn = {0, 1,…, n-1} and vertices u and v are adjacent, if gcd(uv, n) = 1. In [A. Ilić, The energy of unitary Cayley graphs, Linear Algebra Appl. 431 (2009) 1881–1889], the energy of unitary Cayley graphs is computed. In this paper the Wiener and hyperWiener index of Xn is computed.
