We give a proof of an integral formula of Berndtsson which is related to the inversion of Fourier-Laplace transforms of $\overline{\partial }$-closed $(n,n-1)$-forms in the complement of a compact convex set in ${ℂ}^n$.

On the real line, let the Fourier transform of kn be k'n(ξ) = k'(ξ-n) where k'(ξ) is a smooth compactly supported function. Consider the bilinear operators Sn(f, g)(x) = ∫ f(x+y)g(x-y)kn(y) dy. If 2 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞, with 1/p + 1/q = 1/2, I prove thatΣ∞n=-∞ ||Sn(f,g)||22 ≤ C2||f||p2||g||q2.The constant C depends only upon k.

In this paper, using a recent parabolic restriction estimate of Tao, we obtain improved partial results in the direction of Falconer's distance set conjecture in dimensions d ≥ 3.

Let d be a positive integer and μ a generalized Cantor measure satisfying $\mu ={\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j\mu \circ S_j^{-1}$, where $0<a_j<1$, ${\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j=1$, $S_j=\rho R+b_j$ with 0 < ρ < 1 and R an orthogonal transformation of ${ℝ}^d$. Then ⎧1 < p ≤ 2 ⇒ ⎨$su{p}_{r>0}{r}^{d(1/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}-1/p^{\text{'}})}({\int }_{J_x^r}{\left|\mu ̂\left(y\right)\right|}^{p^{\text{'}}}{dy)}^{1/p^{\text{'}}}\le D₁{\rho }^{-d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}$, $x\in {ℝ}^d$, ⎩ p = 2 ⇒ infr≥1 rd(1/α’-1/2) (∫J₀r|μ̂(y)|² dy)1/2 ≥ D₂ρd/α’$,$where $J_x^r={\prod }_{i=1}^d(x_i-r/2,x_i+r/2)$, α’ is defined by ${\rho }^{d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}={\left({\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j^p\right)}^{1/p}$ and the constants D₁ and D₂ depend only on d and p.

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 ${ℝ}^d$ 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...

We introduce some spaces of generalized functions that are defined as generalized quotients and Boehmians. The spaces provide simple and natural frameworks for extensions of the Fourier transform.

Inspired by work of Montgomery on Fourier series and Donoho-Strak in signal processing, we investigate two families of rearrangement inequalities for the Fourier transform. More precisely, we show that the $L^2$ behavior of a Fourier transform of a function over a small set is controlled by the $L^2$ behavior of the Fourier transform of its symmetric decreasing rearrangement. In the $L^1$ case, the same is true if we further assume that the function has a support of finite measure.As a byproduct, we also give...
