Abstract

This paper begins with a systematic study of abstract noncommutative Fourier series on $\Gamma \setminus SE(2)$, where $\Gamma$ is a discrete co-compact subgroup of $SE(2)$, the group of all handedness-preserving isometries of the Euclidean plane. Let $\mu$ be the finite $SE(2)$-invariant measure on the right coset space $\Gamma \setminus SE(2)$, normalized with respect to Weil’s formula. The analytic aspects of the proposed method works for any given (discrete) basis of the Hilbert function space $L^2 (\Gamma \setminus SE(2), \mu)$. The paper concludes with some convolution results.
