Fourier transform of $f_a(x)= a^{-2}\exp(-|x|^a)$, $a \in (0,2)$, is decreasing in $a$

Can one show that Fourier transform of $$ f_a(x) = a^{-2} \exp(-|x|^a), \qquad a \in (0,2)$$ is decreasing in $a$? I have a solution for $a \in (0,1]$ which cannot be used for $a\in (1,2)$.

Continuity of Radon transform w.r.t the angle

Let $f \in L^1(\mathbb R^n)$ (or in case it helps, actually a probability density on $\mathbb R^n$). Define the Radon transform $R[f]:S_{n-1} \times \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ of $f$ by $$ R[f](w,b) := ...

Is $g(v)=\mathbb{E}[f(v+W)]$ a differentiable function of $v$ when $f$ is continuous and $W$ is multivariate normal?

Suppose $f$ is a continuous function on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $W$ has a multivariate normal distribution on $\mathbb{R}^n$. If the expectation $$g(v)=\mathbb{E}[f(v+W)]$$ is defined for all $v \in \...
