A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function f L p ( 𝕋 ) , p ( 1 , + ) , its Fourier series ( S n f ( x ) ) converges for almost every x 𝕋 . Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding O ( n 1 / p ) . We define the divergence index at  x as the infimum of the positive real numbers β such that S n f ( x ) = O ( n β ) and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets E β , namely the sets of  x 𝕋 with divergence index equal to  β . We show that quasi-all functions in  L p ( 𝕋 ) have a multifractal behavior with respect to this definition. Precisely, for quasi-all functions in  L p ( 𝕋 ) , for all β [ 0 , 1 / p ] , E β has Hausdorff dimension equal to  1 - β p . We also investigate the same problem in  𝒞 ( 𝕋 ) , replacing polynomial divergence by logarithmic divergence. In this context, the results that we get on the size of the exceptional sets are rather surprising.

AB - A famous theorem of Carleson says that, given any function $f\in L^p(\mathbb {T})$, $p\in (1,+\infty )$, its Fourier series $(S_nf(x))$ converges for almost every $x\in \mathbb {T}$. Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O(n^{1/p})$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $\beta $ such that $S_nf(x)=O(n^\beta )$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_\beta $, namely the sets of $x\in \mathbb {T}$ with divergence index equal to $\beta $. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p(\mathbb {T})$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to this definition. Precisely, for quasi-all functions in $L^p(\mathbb {T})$, for all $\beta \in [0,1/p]$, $E_\beta $ has Hausdorff dimension equal to $1-\beta p$. We also investigate the same problem in $\mathcal {C}(\mathbb {T})$, replacing polynomial divergence by logarithmic divergence. In this context, the results that we get on the size of the exceptional sets are rather surprising.
