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.

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 ...
