Abstract: Applications of harmonic analysis on finite groups are introduced to measure partition problems, with equipartitions obtained as the vanishing of prescribed Fourier transforms. For elementary abelian groups $Z_p^k$, $p$ an odd prime, equipartitions are by $k$-tuples of complex regular $p$-fans in $mathbb{C}^d$, analogues of the famous Gr"unbaum problem on equipartitions in $mathbb{R}^d$ by $k$-tuples of hyperplanes (i.e., regular 2-fans). Here the number of regions is a prime power, as usual in topological applications to combinatorial geometry. For general abelian groups, however, the Fourier perspective yields new classes of equipartitions by families of complex regular fans $F_{q_1},ldots,F_{q_k}$ (such as those of a "Makeev-type"), including when the number of regions is not a prime power.
