We prove that for locally compact, compactly generated self-dual Abelian groups \(G\), there are canonical unitary integral operators on \(L^2(G)\) analogous to the Fourier transform but which have orders 3 and 6. To do this, we establish the existence of a certain projective character on \(G\) whose phase multiplication with the FT gives rise to the Cubic transform (of order 3). (Thus, although the Fourier transform has order 4, one can “make it” have order 3 (or 6) by means of a phase factor!)

Soit \(G\) un groupe localement compact, engendré par un sousensemble compact, et isomorphe à son groupe dual. On construit des operateurs intégrals unitaires canoniques qui sont analogues à la transformée de Fourier, mais qui sont d’ordres trois et six.

We report on recent results on the existence of Cubic and Hexic integral transforms on self-dual locally compact groups (orders 3 and 6 analogues of the classical Fourier transform) and their application in constructing a canonical continuous section of smooth projections \(\mathcal E(t)\) of the continuous field of rotation C*-algebras \(\{A_t\}_{0 \le t \le 1}\) that is invariant under the noncommutative Hexic transform automorphism. This leads to invariant matrix (point) projections of the irrational noncommutative tori \(A_\theta\). We also present a quick method for computing the (quantized) topological invariants of such projections using techniques from classical Theta function theory.

On décrit des résultats récents sur l’existence d’une transformation intégrale d’ordre trois (ou d’ordre six) sur un groupe localement compact abélien self-dual. On étudie l’application possible à la construction d’un champs continu de projecteurs invariants sous l’automorphisme associé du champs de C*-algèbres de rotation. On calcule certains invariants topologiques de ces projecteurs.
