In the first part of the paper a topological version of canonical transformations is presented. By studying the special transformation (sheaves on \(P^ n)\to (sheaves\) on \((P^ n)^ v)\) one obtains in particular a new proof (independent of the Picard-Lefschetz formulae) of the irreducibility of the monodromy action on the middle cohomology of a hyperplane section of a smooth variety. One also studies a topological analogue of the Radon transform, and one obtains for instance analogues of results due to I. M. Gel’fand, S. G. Gindikin and M. I. Graev [cf. Funct. Anal. Appl. 13, 288-290 (1980); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 13, No.4, 64-66 (1979; Zbl 0423.58001)].
The second part of the paper is devoted to the theory of Fourier transform as developped by Malgrange over \({\mathbb{C}}\) and by Deligne in characteristic p. One computes the generic rank of the Fourier transform of a \({\mathbb{C}}[\underline x,\partial /\partial \underline x]\)-module with regular singularities. The work of Katz-Laumon on trigonometric sums is then presented with an improvement in their uniform estimation formula where the generic rank of a certain Fourier transform is shown to play a role. Finally the irreducible representations of Weyl groups are considered from the viewpoint of Fourier transforms (as was implicitely done by T. A. Springer in Invent. Math. 36, 173-207 (1976; Zbl 0374.20054)).
