Abstract:
Algebraic geometry affords a rich analog of classical questions in harmonic analysis, in which function spaces are replaced by derived categories of sheaves of various types and the Fourier transform is replaced by the Fourier-Mukai transform. We'll present this dictionary and its motivations from representation theory and noncommutative geometry, with an emphasis on the geometry of D-modules.
