Abstract

In this paper we deal with a finite abelian group GG and the abstract Fourier transform {\mathcal F}:{\mathbb C}^G\to {\mathbb C}^\hat{G}. Then, we consider \tilde{j}\circ {\mathcal F}:{\mathbb C}^G\to {\mathbb C}^\hat{G} where \tilde j:{\mathbb C}^\hat{G}\to {\mathbb C}^G is defined by the composition with a bijection j:GG^j:G\to \hat{G}. (j~\tilde j is a pullback of jj.) In particular, we show that (j~F)2(\tilde{j}\circ {\mathcal F})^2 is a permutation if and only if jj is a group isomorphism. Then, we study how the spectra of j~F\tilde{j}\circ{\mathcal F} depends on the isomorphism jj.
