Etude spectrale des substitutions de longueur constante
Let G be a compact abelian group with dual group Γ and let ε > 0. A set E ⊂ Γ is a “weak ε-Kronecker set” if for every φ:E → there exists x in the dual of Γ such that |φ(γ)- γ(x)| ≤ ε for all γ ∈ E. When ε < √2, every bounded function on E is known to be the restriction of a Fourier-Stieltjes transform of a discrete measure. (Such sets are called I₀.) We show that for every infinite set E there exists a weak 1-Kronecker subset F, of the same cardinality as E, provided there are not “too many”...
Let be a finite set of step functions or real valued trigonometric polynomials on = [0,1) satisfying a certain orthonormality condition. We study multiscale generalized Riesz product measures μ defined as weak-* limits of elements , where are -dimensional subspaces of L₂() spanned by an orthonormal set which is produced from dilations and multiplications of elements of and . The results involve mutual absolute continuity or singularity of such Riesz products extending previous results on...
The mutual singularity problem for measures with restrictions on the spectrum is studied. The -pluriharmonic Riesz product construction on the complex sphere is introduced. Singular pluriharmonic measures supported by sets of maximal Hausdorff dimension are obtained.
A general notion of lifting properties for families of sesquilinear forms is formulated. These lifting properties, which appear as particular cases in many classical interpolation problems, are studied for the Toeplitz kernels in Z, and applied for refining and extending the Nehari theorem and the Paley lacunary inequality.
We establish new connections between some classes of lacunary sets. The main tool is the use of (p,q)-summing or weakly compact operators (for Riesz sets). This point of view provides new properties of stationary sets and allows us to generalize to more general abelian groups than the torus some properties of p-Sidon sets. We also construct some new classes of Riesz sets.
We investigate several aspects of almost 1-unconditionality. We characterize the metric unconditional approximation property (umap) in terms of “block unconditionality”. Then we focus on translation invariant subspaces and of functions on the circle and express block unconditionality as arithmetical conditions on E. Our work shows that the spaces , p an even integer, have a singular behaviour from the almost isometric point of view: property (umap) does not interpolate between and . These...
Some new properties of the stationary sets (defined by G. Pisier in [12]) are studied. Some arithmetical conditions are given, leading to the non-stationarity of the prime numbers. It is shown that any stationary set is a set of continuity. Some examples of "large" stationary sets are given, which are not sets of uniform convergence.
We study different conditions on the set of roots of the Fourier transform of a measure on the Euclidean space, which yield that the measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We construct a monotone sequence in the real line with this property. We construct a closed subset of which contains a lot of lines of some fixed direction, with the property that every measure with spectrum contained in this set is absolutely continuous. We also give examples of sets with such property...
