Let B be a convex body in R2, with piecewise smooth boundary and let ^χB denote the Fourier transform of its characteristic function. In this paper we determine the admissible decays of the spherical Lp averages of ^χB and we relate our analysis to a problem in the geometry of convex sets. As an application we obtain sharp results on the average number of integer lattice points in large bodies randomly positioned in the plane.

A general theory of summation of divergent series based on the Hardy-Kolmogorov axioms is developed. A class of functional series is investigated by means of ergodic theory. The results are formulated in terms of solvability of some cohomological equations, all solutions to which are nonmeasurable. In particular, this realizes a construction of a nonmeasurable function as first conjectured by Kolmogorov.

Some basic theorems and formulae (equations and inequalities) of several areas of mathematics that hold in Bernstein spaces $B_{\sigma }^p$ are no longer valid in larger spaces. However, when a function f is in some sense close to a Bernstein space, then the corresponding relation holds with a remainder or error term. This paper presents a new, unified approach to these errors in terms of the distance of f from $B_{\sigma }^p$. The difficult situation of derivative-free error estimates is also covered.

We determine the norm in $L^p\left(ℝ₊\right)$, 1 < p < ∞, of the operator $I-{ℱ}_s{ℱ}_c$, where ${ℱ}_c$ and ${ℱ}_s$ are respectively the cosine and sine Fourier transforms on the positive real axis, and I is the identity operator. This solves a problem posed in 1984 by M. S. Birman [Bir] which originated in scattering theory for unbounded obstacles in the plane. We also obtain the $L^p$-norms of the operators aI + bH, where H is the Hilbert transform (conjugate function operator) on the circle or real line, for arbitrary real a,b. Best...

We consider complex-valued functions f ∈ L¹(ℝ), and prove sufficient conditions in terms of f to ensure that the Fourier transform f̂ belongs to one of the Lipschitz classes Lip(α) and lip(α) for some 0 < α ≤ 1, or to one of the Zygmund classes zyg(α) and zyg(α) for some 0 < α ≤ 2. These sufficient conditions are best possible in the sense that they are also necessary in the case of real-valued functions f for which either xf(x) ≥ 0 or f(x) ≥ 0 almost everywhere.

Let 0 < p ≤ 1, let ω: ℤ → [1,∞) be a weight on ℤ and let f be a nowhere vanishing continuous function on the unit circle Γ whose Fourier series satisfies ${\sum }_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}{\left|f̂\left(n\right)\right|}^p\omega \left(n\right)<\infty$. Then there exists a weight ν on ℤ such that ${\sum }_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}{\left|\widehat{(1/f)}\left(n\right)\right|}^p\nu \left(n\right)<\infty$. Further, ν is non-constant if and only if ω is non-constant; and ν = ω if ω is non-quasianalytic. This includes the classical Wiener theorem (p = 1, ω = 1), Domar theorem (p = 1, ω is non-quasianalytic), Żelazko theorem (ω = 1) and a recent result of Bhatt and Dedania (p = 1). An analogue of...

Let L = -Δ + V be a Schrödinger operator in ${ℝ}^d$ and $H{¹}_L\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ be the Hardy type space associated to L. We investigate the bilinear operators T⁺ and T¯ defined by $T^{\pm }(f,g)\left(x\right)=\left(T₁f\right)\left(x\right)\left(T₂g\right)\left(x\right)\pm \left(T₂f\right)\left(x\right)\left(T₁g\right)\left(x\right)$, where T₁ and T₂ are Calderón-Zygmund operators related to L. Under some general conditions, we prove that either T⁺ or T¯ is bounded from $L^p\left({ℝ}^d\right)\times L^q\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ to $H{¹}_L\left({ℝ}^d\right)$ for 1 < p,q < ∞ with 1/p + 1/q = 1. Several examples satisfying these conditions are given. We also give a counterexample for which the classical Hardy space estimate fails.
