About the Fourier transform of the logarithm function

I want to calculate / simplify: $$\mathcal{F} (\ln(|x|)\mathcal{F(f)}(x))=\mathcal{F} (\ln(|x|)) \star f$$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is the Fourier transform ($\mathcal[f](\xi)=\int_{\mathbb R}f(x)e^{ix\...

Why $\int_{S^{n-1}} |\hat{f}(w)|^2d\sigma(w) < \infty$?

Let $f\in L^p(\Bbb R^n)$ and $S^{n-1}$ be the Unit sphere. Why $\int_{S^{n-1}} |\hat{f}(w)|^2d\sigma(w)<\infty$ when $1<p<2$. $\hat{f}$ is the Fourier transform fora function f.

Does the (distributional) support of the Fourier transform of an $L^p$-function with $p<\infty$ have positive measure?

Suppose that $f \in L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ such that $1\leq p < \infty$. Let $\hat f$ be the Fourier transform of $f$. Clearly, if $p=1$ or $p=2$ then the support of $\hat f$ has positive Lebesgue ...

Proof that elements of Beppo-Levi-like spaces are functions (and not just distributions)?

Context. I am trying to undestand the theory underlying "Beppo-Levi"-like spaces defined as $$ H = \left\{f\in {\cal S}'(\mathbb{R}^d) \;\left| \; t\times\widetilde{f} \in {\cal L}^2(\mathbb{...

Convergence in $S'(\mathbb R^d)$ of the paraproduct $\dot{T}_uv$

Let $B = B(0,4/3)$, $C = \{x \in \mathbb R^d : 3/4 \leq \|x\|_2 \leq 8/3\}$ and $\tilde{C} = \{x \in \mathbb R^d : 1/12 \leq \|x\|_2 \leq 10/3\}$. For a fixed Littlewood-Paley decomposition $\chi \in \...

Is delta function symmetric against real axis? [closed]

Is $\delta\left(a+bi\right)=\delta\left(a-bi\right)$? I wonder whether Dirac Delta (as defined via Fourier transform) is symmetric against the real axis. We can write Delta function as $$\delta(z) = \...

Fourier transform inversion theorem for a function not in L1 or L2

For $\frac{1}{4}<a<1$ consider the following function: $$f(x)=\frac{|x|^{\frac{1}{2}}}{(x^2+1)^{a+ib}}$$ If $1>a>\frac{1}{2}$ then $f(x) \in L^2$ and the Fourier inversion theorem can be ...

Eigenstates of Fourier transformation

Let $\gamma$ be defined on $\mathbb R^n$ by $\gamma (x)=e^{-π x^2}$. With $\mathcal F$ standing for the Fourier transformation defined on the Schwartz space by $$ (\mathcal F u)(\xi)=\int e^{-2iπ x\...

Are functions of moderate growth a bornological space?

I was thinking a bit about distribution theory the last weeks and stumbled across the following question: There are two natural locally convex topologies on the space of smooth functions of moderate ...

Fourier transform of tempered distribution

I'm wondering whether anyone knows a reference or proof for finding the Fourier transform of $f(t):=(t+1)^{1/2}t_+^{1/2}$? (Here $t_+=\max (t,0)$.)
