Is this statement which relates the Fourier transform of a function to its singularities correct?

I am working on a problem, which would possibly relate the Fourier transform/series with the jump singularities of the function where the function itself or one of its derivatives jump. ((some kind of ...

Image of L^1 under the Fourier Transform

The Fourier Transform $\mathcal{F}:L^1(\mathbb{R})\to C_0(\mathbb{R})$ is an injective, bounded linear map that isn't onto. It is known (if I remember correctly) that the range isn't closed, but is ...

Positive-definiteness of radial sinc function in three dimensions

In dimension one, it is well known that $\mathcal{F}\chi_{(-1,1)}=\frac{\sin{x}}{x}$. This implies, in particular, that $\frac{\sin{x}}{x}$ is a definite positive function. I wonder if a similar ...

Connection between the Fourier transform of f and |f|

If $f\in L^p(R)$ with $1\leq p\leq 2$, then Hausdorff-Young inequality implies that the Fourier transform $\widehat{f}\in L^{p'}$, $p'$ is the dual exponent of $p$, and $$ \|\widehat{f}\|_{L^{p'}}\...

Decay of the Fourier transform of a non-differentiable function

It is well known that if $\varphi$ is a Schwartz function on $\mathbb{R}$ (i.e. smooth and decaying at infinity faster than polynomials), then its Fourier transform decays faster than polynomials. ...

Recovering phase function using Fourier decomposition

I have a function $\phi(x): \mathbb{R} \to [0, 2 \pi)$, which describes phase of another function $$f = e^{i \phi(x)}. $$ I am interested in the following problem. If I know the function/distribution $...
