Mathematical Analysis
A characterization of the Fourier transform and related topics
[Une caractérisation de la transformation de Fourier et questions connexes]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 346 (2008) no. 11-12, pp. 625-628.

On montre que la transformation de Fourier est essentiellement, à une simple adaptation près, la seule application, qui sur les espaces où elle opère, transforme les convolutions en produits et les produits en convolutions. (De manière surprenante la linéarité n'est pas supposée à priori.)

It is shown that the Fourier transform is essentially, up to a simple adjustment, the only transform on the corresponding space which maps convolutions to products and products to convolutions (surprisingly, no linearity is assumed a priori).
