Is there code for the d-dimensional Fourier series? I found code for one dimension.
@Kalle Kytölä, a couple others and I started looking for ways to generalize the code in AddCircle.lean

I don't think we have anything more for Fourier series.
One thing I think is worth considering is whether our Fourier series should involve the concrete type docs#AddCircle or whether they could be set up to work relative to an abstract characterisation of the circle (or tori). I made a similar remark a while ago here.
This raises the question of what is a convenient characterisation of the circle.
I think a compact connected abelian topological group with no small subgroups is a real torus. So that just leaves the dimension question. I guess one could look at the size of the automorphism group but maybe more convenient is to require the existence of a norm and demand for some involution .

Perhaps the fact that the only finite subgroups are cyclic is helpful.
