Is the inverse Fourier transform of a radial function radial?












0














Let $f: Bbb{R}^d to Bbb{R}$ be a rapidly decreasing function in $Bbb{R}^d$. Concerning Fourier transforms in $Bbb{R}^d$, we define $hat{f}(xi) = int_{Bbb{R}^d} f(x) e^{-2 pi i xi cdot x}dx $, for $xi in Bbb{R}^d$. And the inverse of $g(xi)$ is $int_{Bbb{R}^d}g(xi)e^{2 pi i xi cdot x}dxi$. A function $f: Bbb{R}^d to Bbb{R}$ is said to be radial iff there is $F: Bbb{R} to Bbb{R}$ such that $f(x) = F(|x|)$ for $x in Bbb{R}^d$. It is easy to prove that the transform of a radial function is radial. Does the same hold for inverse transforms?

  • Yes, convert the cartesian n-dimensional Fourier Transform to n-spherical (?) coordinates and integrate over the angular variables. You will be left with a transform that is a single integral in terms of the radial variable. You can do the same for the inverse transform. For n = 1, you will get the Fourier cosine transform. For n = 2, you will get the zero order Hankel Transform. For higher n, see math.stackexchange.com/a/3007081/441161
