Abstract
A survey of basic techniques of Fourier analysis on a finite Abelian group Q with subsequent applications in graph theory. In particular, evaluations of the Tutte polynomial of a graph G in terms of cosets of the Q-flows (or dually Q-tensions) of G. Other applications to spanning trees of Cayley graphs and group-valued models on phylogenetic trees are also used to illustrate methods.
