Some properties of the Fourier transform on R^n - It is unitary - It exchanges convolution and multiplication - It exchanges translation and modulation - It exchanges regularity and decay - The kernel is unimodular. In particular, it is L^1 -> L^infty bounded. - Uncertainty principle in the bulk: If f has support in a convex body, then F[f] is locally constant on each dual convex body - Uncertainty principle in the tails: if f has compact support, then F[f] has full support. The proof uses complex analysis.
