Abstract
From the homotopy groups of two cubic spherical 3-manifolds we construct the isomorphic groups of deck transformations acting on the 3-sphere. These groups become the cyclic group of order eight and the quaternion group respectively. By reduction of representations from the orthogonal group to the identity representation of these subgroups we provide two subgroup-periodic bases for the harmonic analysis on the 3-manifolds. This harmonic analysis has applications to cosmic topology.
