Abstract:
We show that under some regularity assumptions, The Poisson summation formula uniquely defines the Fourier Transform of a function. Then, we show how a family of unitary operators on L^2[0,infinity) can be constructed which exhibit Poisson-like summation formulas As a by-product of this construction, peculiar unitary operators given by series arise.
