Complex interpolation of Fourier-Lebesgue spaces and Lebesgue spaces
The complex interpolation of Lebesgue spaces $L^{p_0}$ and $L^{p_1}$ are well-known, that is,
$[L^{p_0}, L^{p_1}]_\theta = L^p$, where $(1-\theta)/p_0+1/p_1 = 1/p$ for some $\theta \in [0,1]$.

Sum over Bessel functions: what is $\sum_{n=1}^\infty J_n(u)J_n(v)\sin(n\alpha)$?
By Neumann's addition theorem, we know that the following identity holds (including for complex $\alpha$):
