How many Fourier coefficients vanish?

Let $G$ be a compact abelian connected metric group with Haar measure $\mu$ and let $f\colon G\to S^1$(=unit circle in $\mathbb{C}$) be a continuous function (not necessarily a group homomorphism) ...

Coherent states on compact abelian state spaces and complexification

First, to establish notation, let $T^*(M)$ denote the cotangent bundle of a manifold $M$. Let $\widehat{(-)}:= \hom_{\sf LCAbGrp}(-,\mathbb{T}):{\sf LCAbGrp}^{\sf op}\simeq {\sf LCAbGrp}$ denote the ...

How can the maximal ideal space of the Fourier Stieltjes algebra be non-separable?

I have been asking a fair few (probably elementary) questions about abstract harmonic analysis lately. By means of explanation, I am just feeling around the subject at the moment and trying to build ...

Fourier multipliers and transference on cyclic groups

It seems to be a commonplace in harmonic analysis that if some operator (say, Fourier multiplier) is bounded on $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ then by transference the similar operator is also bounded on $L^p(\...

Fourier transform on lattice strip

I am working with a triangular lattice $L=\{n_1 a_2 + n_2 a_2 : n\in\mathbb{Z}^2 \}$ and $a_1 = \pmatrix{1 \\ 0}$ and $a_2 = \frac{1}{2} \pmatrix{-1 \\ \sqrt{3}}$, and I want to compute the Pontryagin ...

Definition of a continuous Gabor frame

I am trying to understand the definition of a Gabor frame and would appreciate some clarification with terminology. Let us begin with the setup: Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group, and let $\...

Does every compact abelian group contain a Kronecker set generating a dense subgroup?

Let $G$ be a compact metrizable abelian group with infinite exponent. Let $S^1 = \left\{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| = 1 \right\}$. A set $K \subset G$ is a Kronecker set if, for every continuous function $...

Fourier transforms via Kurzweil-Henstock integral on locally compact commutative groups

Is it possible to define Fourier transforms on locally compact commutative groups using the Kurzweil-Henstock integral instead of the Lebesgue integral?

Can Gaussian measure be characterized by unitary representations?

It is well known that Fourier transform switches positive-definite functions with positive measures on a (locally compact topological) group. Further, the positive definite functions can be ...

When does a continuous function's "Fourier series" converge pointwise almost everywhere to the function?

Let $G$ be a compact topological group. By the Peter-Weyl theorem, the complex Hilbert space $L^2(G)$ is the Hilbert space direct sum of the spaces of matrix coefficients of all the irreducible ...

What are the almost periodic functions on the complex plane?

The almost periodic functions on the real line can be characterized as uniform limits of trigonometric functions. I was wondering whether a similar definition exists on the complex plane (a locally ...

A basis of the Banach space $L^p(\mathbb T^\omega)$ consisting of characters

Problem: For $1<p<\infty$, $p\ne 2$, has the complex Banach space $L^p(\mathbb T^\omega)$ got a Schauder basis consisting of characters of the compact topological group $\mathbb T^\omega$? (...

Understanding Bruhat's notion of Schwartz function

I am trying to understand Bruhat's generalized Schwartz functions over (Hausforff) locally compact Abelian groups [1], following this paper [2] by Osborne. There, the Schwartz-Bruhat space $\mathscr{...
