Fourier transform of exponential over torus

I found the following formula for the Fourier transform on a flat 2-torus, but I don't quite know how to derive it. We have a variable $q=(q_x,q_y) \in [0,2\pi)^2$ and by considering it in polar ...

A curious sin-integral

While contending with a certain Fourier series, I stumbled on an incredibly simple evaluation (numerically) of a slightly complicated-looking sin-integral. So, I wish ask: Question. Is this really ...

Does $\int_0^{2\pi} e^{i\theta(t)} (\phi(t))^n dt=0$ $\forall \; n\in\mathbb{N}_0$ imply $\phi$ periodic?

PROBLEM. Let $\theta(t)$ and $\phi(t)$ be two real analytic non-constant functions $[0,2\pi]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. I am trying to prove the following claim If the integral $$ \int_0^{2\pi} e^{i\...

Scaling of double convolution

I am interested in the scaling of $$F(x_1,x_4)=\int_{\mathbb R^2} e^{-\vert x_1 -x_2 \vert -\varepsilon \vert x_2 -x_3 \vert- \vert x_3 -x_4 \vert } \ dx_2 dx_3 $$ In particular, I suspect that $$F(...

When is it possible to use the Parseval-Plancherel identity to solve an integral?

The integral is of the form $\int_{-\infty}^\infty \sigma(x)\mu(x)\,\mathrm{d}x$. Where the Fourier transform of the $\sigma$ function is $\tilde \sigma(p)= e^{-iap}\frac{1}{1+e^{-c|p|}}$ and the ...

Existence of the inverse Fourier transform, Carr Madan

I have a function $C_T(k)$ that is not $L_1$, because its limit in negative infinity is a constant. So I dampened it by $ e^{\alpha k} $. Let's call the transformed function (of the dampened function) ...
