Fourier inversion theorem (Theorem 4.1), forward direction: for a continuous $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $\hat{f} \in L^1$, the inverse Fourier transform of $\hat{f}$ recovers $f$, i.e. $(\hat{f})^\vee = f$.

Fourier inversion theorem (Theorem 4.1), reverse direction: for a continuous $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $f^\vee \in L^1$, the Fourier transform of $f^\vee$ recovers $f$, i.e. $(f^\vee)^\wedge = f$.

Fourier inversion theorem (Theorem 4.1, combined): under the integrability hypotheses, both $(\hat{f})^\vee = f$ and $(f^\vee)^\wedge = f$. That is, the Fourier transform $\wedge$ and its inverse $\vee$ are mutual inverses.
