Abstract

We introduce the basics of Fourier analysis on finite abelian groups and discuss applications in Theoretical Computer Science and Combinatorics. These include: bounds for error correcting codes, threshold phenomena in random graphs, voting schemes and influences in Boolean functions, probabilistically checkable proofs, Fermat's Last Theorem over finite fields.
