Questions tagged [harmonic-analysis]
Harmonic analysis is the generalisation of Fourier analysis. Use this tag for analysis on locally compact groups (e.g. Pontryagin duality), eigenvalues of the Laplacian on compact manifolds or graphs, and the abstract study of Fourier transform on Euclidean spaces (singular integrals, Littlewood-Paley theory, etc). Use the (wavelets) tag for questions on wavelets, and the (fourier-analysis) for more elementary topics in Fourier theory.

Approximation by convolution with Schwartz function
The question at hand is the following: Let $\psi \in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^d, \mathbb{C})$ be real–valued such that $\psi \ge 0$ and $\int_{\mathbb{R}^d} \psi(x)\,dx = 1$. Moreover, let $f \in L^1(\...

Fourier transform of indicator of curved tube
If $T$ is a $1\times \delta$ rectangle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for a $\delta>0$, where $\delta$ is small, then you one take a Schwartz function $f$ so that $f\geq 1$ on $T$, and $\hat{f}$ is compactly ...

Ball inflation inequality on restriction theory, l^{2} decoupling
This year I have been studying the paper "The proof of $l^{2}$ decoupling conjecture" by Bourgain and Demeter. by Bourgain and Demeter. I have been able to understand every part of the proof ...

L1 boundedness of some spectral multiplier
I came across this problem when studying spectral multipliers concerning the Laplace operator on Euclidean spaces. Denote $L = - \Delta$ as the Laplace operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Given $F \in L^2_s(\...

Why are $\widehat{C^{*}(G)}$ and $\widehat{L^{1}(G)}$ homeomorphic?
My problem is the following: Firstly, let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group and denote by $L^{1}(G)$ the Banach $*$-algebra with respect to the convolution of functions as the multiplication and ...

How to prove that Cauchy in BMO then is Cauchy in $L^1$
I'm trying to do a Grafakos exercise that asks me to show that the space $BMO(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is complete. To do this, it suggests using the following approach: Let $f\in BMO(\mathbb{R}^n)$. For any $\...

Area estimate of the intersection of ball and sphere
The following estimate arises in the proof of Tomas-Stein restriction theorem. $$ \sigma_{\mathbb{S}^{d-1}} (B(x,r)\cap \mathbb{S}^{d-1}) \leq C r^{d-1} $$ The estimate is very intuitive, and I have a ...

Fourier inversion theorem for compact groups
I am searching for a good reference for finding the fourier inversion theorem for compact (abelian, or non abelian) groups (we shall denote such a group by $G$). In particular, I would like to see a ...

Classification of $C^{*}(G)$ for a compact group $G$
I want to prove that $C^{*}(G)\cong \oplus_{\pi\in\hat{G}}M_{dim\pi}(\mathbb{C})$. Of course, one wants to use the Peter-Weyl theorem for this (the version, which states that $L^{2}(G)\cong \oplus_{\...

On the convolution identity of a sub arc of circle and the open set which is thickened epsilon amount of another subarc in circle.
Let $\sigma_I=\{e^{2i\pi t}:t\in I\}$ and $\sigma_J=\{e^{2\pi i t}:t\in J\}$ be two disjoint subarcs on the the first quadrant of unit circle of arc length $\theta$, where $I,J\subseteq [0,1/4]$ of ...

Can Young's inequality give a pointwise bound for a convolution?
I’m trying to understand a step in Appendix A.1 of Bejenaru and Herr, The cubic Dirac equation: small initial data in $H^1(\mathbb{R}^3)$. The paper proves global well-posedness for the cubic Dirac ...

Why is the Reciprocal Log Transform so "un-creative"? Why does it seem to "interpolate" between Fourier, Mellin and Laplace?
I'm struggling to provide a proper conceptual reason for what is going on here. For background, I was taught in school the three major transforms, Laplace first, Fourier second and Mellin last (but ...

What is the Haar measure on the Bohr compactification $b\mathbb{Z}$ of the integers?
What is the Haar measure on the Bohr compactification $b\mathbb{Z}$ of the integers? We (my collaborators and I) suspect that it is $$ \int_{b\mathbb{Z}} d\mu_H f(n) = \lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{2N+1} \...

What do self-adjoint operators on $L^2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times} / \mathbb{Q}^{\times})$ look like?
Consider the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ = $L^2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times} / \mathbb{Q}^{\times})$, where $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}}^{\times}$ is the idèle group of $\mathbb{Q}$ equipped with its ...

Classification of an LCA group C*-algebra
I want to show that $C^{*}(G)\cong C_{0}(\hat{G})$, where G is a locally compact abelian group. I alredy know that, since G is abelian $C^{*}(G)$ is also abelian and that one applies the Gelfand ...
