Prove if the fractional Laplacian of a function is bounded

Take $s\in (0, 1)$. I am trying to understand if $(-\Delta)^s (\log(1+x^2))$ is bounded, that is if there exists $R>0$ such that $|(-\Delta)^s (\log(1+x^2))|\le R$. Here $(-\Delta)^s$ is the ...

Why we have $f=0$

Define the Fourier transform for a suitable function $f\in L^1(\Bbb R)$ by $\widehat{f}(\xi)=\int_{\Bbb R}f(x)e^{-ix\xi} dx$. Assume the condition $$\int_{\Bbb R}\int_{\Bbb R}|\widehat{f}(\xi)f(x)|^...

$|\partial $ as Fourier multiplier

I have the following nonlinear dispersive PDEs $$i \partial_t u- \partial_x^2 u =|\partial_x| |u|^2$$ where $f$ is some nice complex-valued function. I am trying to use the ansatz $u(t,x) = e^{i \...

A potential wrong proof of a Lemma

Consider the following lemma: Let $g \in H^s_{x,y}(S)$ where $S = \mathbb{R}^2$ or $S = \mathbb{T}^2$, and $\eta \in C^\infty(\mathbb{R})$, $\operatorname{Supp}(\eta) \subset [-2,2]$, and $\eta \equiv ...

Riesz transform after linear transformation

I am encountering the term $\partial_x \mathcal{R}_x(f(x,y))$. I needed to do the following linear transformation $$x' = a x+ by,\,\,\,\,\, y'=ax-by,\,\,\, and \,\,f(x,y)=g(x',y') $$ I ended up with ...

The semigroup of Laplace-Beltrami operator on 3-flat torus

I am studying a recent paper in which the author worked on the rectangular, flat 3 tori. It can be realized, the author explained, as $\mathbb{R}^3 \over (L_1 \mathbb Z \times L_2 \mathbb Z \times L_3 ...

Fourier transform without characters (Eigenfunctions of an operator)

Let's consider a very simple problem in quantum mechanics: We have, in $\mathbb R,$ a potential barrier of the form $$ V(x) = V_0 \mathbf 1_{[-a,a]}(x), $$ where $\mathbf 1_{[-a,a]}$ denotes the ...

Fourier transform of a Sobolev function dependent on a "parameter"

Let $u\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, let $V\in W^{1,1}_\text{loc}(\mathbb{R}^n\times\mathbb{R}^+)$, such that $$ V(x,0)=u(x),\quad V(x,\cdot)\in C^0([0,\infty)),\quad\forall x\in\mathbb{R}^n,$$ and ...

Eigenvalues of convolution matrices

Let $h: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function. Fix $0\leq s_1\leq \cdots \leq s_m\leq 1$ and $0\leq t_1\leq \cdots \leq t_n\leq 1$. Construct $A\in \mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ by letting $A_{i,j}:...
