Haar integrals on the additive circle as circle averages #
For any positive period, normalized Haar measure on AddCircle T corresponds to normalized
arc length under AddCircle.toCircle. Parametrizing a circle with this map therefore turns its
circle average into a Haar integral. For period 2 * π, Complex.arg also gives the reverse
transport: a Haar integral of g equals the circle average of g ∘ Complex.arg over the unit
circle. These comparisons let results such as the Poisson integral formula be read as statements
about integrals over the additive circle.
Normalized Haar integration on any positive-period additive circle agrees with the
circle average after parametrizing a circle by AddCircle.toCircle.
On the unit circle, AddCircle.toCircle inverts Complex.arg.
A Haar integral over AddCircle (2 * π) is the circle average over the unit circle of the
integrand composed with Complex.arg.
