Why does Fourier analysis of Boolean functions "work"?

a great answer to this question probably does not yet exist because its a relatively young and very active area of research. for example Ingo Wegeners comprehensive book on boolean functions from 1987 …

Applications of representation theory of the symmetric group

an older example, but still with recent/ongoing research, some of this theory shows up in the mathematics of the "perfect shuffle", seen as an element of the symmetric group & which was a famous disco …
