A distribution is a continuous linear functional on the space $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}_c$ of smooth (indefinitely differentiable) functions with compact support. Though they appeared in formal computations in the physics and engineering literature in the late $19^{th}$ century, their formal setting was brought up by the work of S. Sobolev and L. Schwartz in the middle of the $20^{th}$ century.

Constrain representation of tempered distribution

This is a follow-up to this question. Let $T$ be a tempered distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Then there is a multiindex $\alpha \in \mathbb{N}_0^d$, an $n \in \mathbb{N}_0$ and a bounded continuous fu …

Prove that a given distribution is tempered

Suppose I have a distribution $E$ such that $\phi \ast E$ is square-integrable for all $\phi \in C_c^\infty \left( \mathbb{R}^d \right)$. Is it possible to prove that $E$ is tempered? It seems plausib …

Feynman path integral and Wilsonian renormalization

Everything below is to be viewed in the Euclidean setting with $d$ dimensions and all measures are understood to be Borel measures. The usual problem of Quantum Field Theory is to make sense of Feynma …
