Uncertainty principle: minimize $\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t| |\widehat{f}(t)|^2 dt$ for $f$ of compact support
This is a question of uncertainty-principle type stemming from Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be even, absolutely continuous and supported in $[-\frac{...

Function that is (essentially) a self-convolution but not a multiple of a self-convolution
Call a function $F:\mathbb{R}\to C$ nice if it is of the form $F = f\ast \tilde{f}$, where $\tilde{f}(x) = \overline{f(-x)}$. (Of course nice functions are precisely those whose Fourier transform is ...

Functions such that the *integral* of the Fourier transform is non-negative?
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be in $L^1$, with its Fourier transform $\widehat{f}$ also in $L^1$. What is a necessary and sufficient condition on $f$ so that
$$\int_{-\infty}^x \widehat{f}(t) dt \...

Good (Sidon) Approximation of "Bumps"
Given a rational point $p\in S^1$ and a continuous function $f:S^1\rightarrow \mathbb C$, we say that $f$ is an $\epsilon$-bump around $p$ (for some $\epsilon>0$) if $f(p)=1,|f|_{\infty}\leq 1+\...

On uniform or simple convergence of Poisson Summation formula
Under good conditions on an even function $f(x)$ we have the Poisson Summation formula ($x>0$):
$$f(0) + 2 \sum\limits_{n =1}^{\infty} f(nx)= \frac{1}{x} \left( \hat{f}(0) + 2 \sum\limits_{n =1}^{\...

On a property of Riemann Zeta function zeros
Lets consider the function : $$F(x) = \sum_{n=1} (xn)^{-s_0} e^{-nx} $$
with $s_0$ a zero of the Riemann Zeta function in the critical strip.
This sum is well defined for $x \in \mathbb{R}^{+*}$. It ...

Extension of Poisson Summation formula
Under the condition f continuous, integrable and:
$|f(t)| + |\hat{f}(t)| \le C (1+|t|)^{-1-a}$ (with a>0)
we have the twisted Poisson formula that holds (where $\chi(n)$ is a primitive Dirichlet ...

A Question concerning the Fourier Transform of $\mathbb{R}$
Consider the classical Schwartz space $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R})$ together with the Fourier transform $\mathcal{F} : \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}) \rightarrow \mathcal{S}( \mathbb{R})$.
Consider the subspace ...
