Apr 3, 2014 at 13:31 comment added Inquisitive @JH; all right; thanks for every thing;
Apr 3, 2014 at 13:26 comment added Johannes Hahn Who is "we" ? Fourier transform is defined for tempered distributions (including $L^1$) and an automorphism of the space of tempered distributions.
Apr 2, 2014 at 12:01 comment added Inquisitive @JH;Thanks; I am bit confused; If that is the case, then, Why do we required, both $f$ and $\mathcal{F}f$ are in $L^{1}$ ? (In the hypothesis of Fourier inversion formula)
Apr 2, 2014 at 11:50 comment added Johannes Hahn Yes it is true for all $f\in L^1$. What do you mean by "if $\mathcal{F}f=\hat{f}$ ? $\hat{\cdot}$ and $\mathcal{F}$ are two notations for the same thing, the fourier transform...
Apr 2, 2014 at 11:48 comment added Inquisitive @JH; thanks; Is $\mathcal{F^{2}}f(x)=f(-x)$ true for any $f\in L^{1}$ ? (I know, this is true, if $f,\text{and} \ \mathcal{F}f= \hat{f} \ \text{both are } \in L^{1}$, by inversion formula)
Apr 2, 2014 at 11:09 comment added Johannes Hahn @DivyangBhimani: Because $\mathcal{F}^2(f(x))=f(-x)$ (up to constants depending on your definition of $\mathcal{F}$)
Apr 2, 2014 at 4:25 comment added Inquisitive @JH;I think, It is clear to me that, $\mathcal{F}:\mathcal{F}L^{1}\to L^{1}$ is an isometry; but why is it onto map ? (I think, this is needed to show, two spaces are isometric by definition;); Thanks a lot;
Mar 31, 2014 at 16:47 comment added Johannes Hahn @DivyangBhimani: Yes, you're missing that $L^1$ is complete and $(0,1)$ isn't. Completeness is obviously invariant w.r.t. to isometries that is: If $X_1, X_2$ are isometric metric spaces then $X_1$ is complete iff $X_2$ is. In your case $\mathcal{F}: \mathcal{F}L^1\to L^1$ is by your definition of the norm on $\mathcal{F}L^1$ an isometry.
Mar 31, 2014 at 16:26 comment added Inquisitive @JH;thanks; but I am sorry, I could not follow: see, we consider $\mathbb R$ with usual metric, namely modulus, $|\cdot|$, which is complete; I think, $d:(0, 1)\to \mathbb R $ such that, $x\mapsto |x|$; preserves distance; but (0, 1) is not a complete metric space; Or am I missing something ?
