Hermite Functions and Fourier Series

Using normalized Hermite functions, we construct bases in the space of square integrable functions on the unit circle (L2(C)) and in l2(Z), which are related to each other by means of the Fourier transform and the discrete Fourier transform. These relations are unitary. The construction of orthonormal bases requires the use of the Gramm–Schmidt method. On both spaces, we have provided ladder operators with the same properties as the ladder operators for the one-dimensional quantum oscillator. These operators are linear combinations of some multiplication- and differentiation-like operators that, when applied to periodic functions, preserve periodicity. Finally, we have constructed riggings for both L2(C) and l2(Z), so that all the mentioned operators are continuous.
