For a smooth curve Γ and a set Λ in the plane 2 , let A C ( Γ ; Λ ) be the space of finite Borel measures in the plane supported on Γ , absolutely continuous with respect to the arc length and whose Fourier transform vanishes on Λ . Following [12], we say that ( Γ , Λ ) is a Heisenberg uniqueness pair if A C ( Γ ; Λ ) = { 0 } . In the context of a hyperbola Γ , the study of Heisenberg uniqueness pairs is the same as looking for uniqueness sets Λ of a collection of solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation. In this work, we mainly address the issue of finding the dimension of A C ( Γ ; Λ ) when it is nonzero. We will fix the curve Γ to be the hyperbola x 1 x 2 = 1 , and the set Λ = Λ α , β to be the lattice-cross Λ α , β = ( α × { 0 } ) ( { 0 } × β ) , where α , β are positive reals. We will also consider Γ + , the branch of x 1 x 2 = 1 where x 1 > 0 . In [12], it is shown that A C ( Γ ; Λ α , β ) = { 0 } if and only if α β 1 . Here, we show that for α β > 1 , we get a rather drastic “phase transition”: A C ( Γ ; Λ α , β ) is infinite-dimensional whenever α β > 1 . It is shown in [13] that A C ( Γ + ; Λ α , β ) = { 0 } if and only if α β < 4 . Moreover, at the edge α β = 4 , the behavior is more exotic: the space A C ( Γ + ; Λ α , β ) is one-dimensional. Here, we show that the dimension of A C ( Γ + ; Λ α , β ) is infinite whenever α β > 4 . Dynamical systems, and more specifically Perron-Frobenius operators, will play a prominent role in the presentation.
