Fourier Analysis and Convexity [Paperback]

Explores relationship between Fourier Analysis, convex geometry, and related areas; in the past, study of this relationship has led to important mathematical advances

Presents new results and applications to diverse fields such as geometry, number theory, and analysis

Contributors are leading experts in their respective fields

Will be of interest to both pure and applied mathematicians

Over the course of the last century, the systematic exploration of the relationship between Fourier analysis and other branches of mathematics has lead to important advances in geometry, number theory, and analysis, stimulated in part by Hurwitzs proof of the isoperimetric inequality using Fourier series.                                                            

This unified, self-contained volume is dedicated to Fourier analysis, convex geometry, and related topics. Specific topics covered include:

* the geometric properties of convex bodies

* the study of Radon transforms

* the geometry of numbers

* the study of translational tilings using Fourier analysis

* irregularities in distributions

* Lattice point problems examined in the context of number theory, probability theory, and Fourier analysis

* restriction problems for the FolS
