    Suppose G $G$ is a locally compact abelian (LCA) group, then is . Is there a decomposition of L^1(G) $L^1(G)$ such that for every f belongs to L^1(G)$f\in L^1(G)$, we have f=g+h, $f=g+h$, where g $g$ belongs to L^2(G) $L^2(G)$ and h $h$ satisfies the following properties: (i) h ?

    1. $h$ belongs to L^1(G) $L^1(G)$ and the inversion formula of Fourier transform holds for h; $h$; or, more strictly, h $h$ satisfies that(ii) h
    2. $h$ belongs to L^1(G)∩B(G), $L^1(G)∩B(G)$, where B(G) $B(G)$ contains all functions of the form (x,γ)dμ, $\int (x,Y)d\mu$, where μ $\mu$ is a complex-valued regular measure on Γ. $\Gamma$. Here Γ $\Gamma$ denotes the dual of G.$G$.

    In the case G=R^n$G={\mathbb R}^n$, as we know, the Calderon-Zygmund decomposition theorem asserts that every f belongs to L^1(R^n) $f\in L^1({\mathbb R}^n)$ is the sum of its good part g $g$ and bad part b. $b$.

    Since g $g$ is bounded and belongs to L^1(R^n)$L^1({\mathbb R}^n)$, it's it is not hard to verify that g $g$ belongs to L^p(R^n) $L^p({\mathbb R}^n)$ for every p>=1$p\ge 1$. But it's it is easy to see that there exists a f an $f$ such that the inversion formula of Fourier transform fails for b. $b$. That is to say, the Calderon-Zygmund decomposition is not the decomposition of L^1(R^n) which $L^1({\mathbb R}^n)$ that I want.
