Fourier transforms having only real zeros

Let be a real entire function of order less than with only real zeros. Then we classify certain distribution functions such that the Fourier transform has only real zeros.

     

The behavior of Fourier transforms for nilpotent Lie groups

We study weak analogues of the Paley-Wiener Theorem for both the scalar-valued and the operator-valued Fourier transforms on a nilpotent Lie group . Such theorems should assert that the appropriate Fourier transform of a function or distribution of compact support on extends to be ``holomorphic' on an appropriate complexification of (a part of) . We prove the weak scalar-valued Paley-Wiener Theorem for some nilpotent Lie groups but show that it is false in general. We also prove a weak operator-valued Paley-Wiener Theorem for arbitrary nilpotent Lie groups, which in turn establishes the truth of a conjecture of Moss. Finally, we prove a conjecture about Dixmier-Douady invariants of continuous-trace subquotients of when is two-step nilpotent.

Some classes of special functions using Fourier transforms of some two-Variable orthogonal polynomials

ABSTRACT

In this paper some new classes of two-variable orthogonal functions by using Fourier transforms of two-variable orthogonal polynomials are introduced. Orthogonality relations are obtained by using the Parseval identity. Recurrence relations for new families of orthogonal functions are also presented.     

Two classes of special functions using Fourier transforms of some finite classes of classical orthogonal polynomials

Some orthogonal polynomial systems are mapped onto each other by the Fourier transform. The best-known example of this type is the Hermite functions, i.e., the Hermite polynomials multiplied by , which are eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform. In this paper, we introduce two new examples of finite systems of this type and obtain their orthogonality relations. We also estimate a complicated integral and propose a conjecture for a further example of finite orthogonal sequences.

     

Almost everywhere convergence of Cesàro means of Fourier series on the group of 2-adic integers

We prove the almost everywhere convergence of the Cesàro (C, α)-means of integrable functions σ _n ^α f → f for f ∈ L ¹(I), where I is the group of 2-adic integers for every α > 0. This theorem for the case of α = 1 was proved by the author [1]. For the case of the (C, 1) Fejér means there are several generalizations known with respect to some orthonormal systems. One could mention the papers [2, 9]. Research supported by the Hungarian National Foundation for Scientific Research (OTKA), grant no. T 048780.     

The quartile operator and pointwise convergence of Walsh series

The bilinear Hilbert transform is given by

It satisfies estimates of the type

In this paper we prove such estimates for a discrete model of the bilinear Hilbert transform involving the Walsh Fourier transform. We also reprove the well-known fact that the Walsh Fourier series of a function in , with converges pointwise almost everywhere. The purpose of this exposition is to clarify the connection between these two results and to present an easy approach to recent methods of time-frequency analysis.

     

Growth properties of Fourier transforms via moduli of continuity

We obtain new inequalities for the Fourier transform, both on Euclidean space, and on non-compact, rank one symmetric spaces. In both cases these are expressed as a gauge on the size of the transform in terms of a suitable integral modulus of continuity of the function. In all settings, the results present a natural corollary: a quantitative form of the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma. A prototype is given in one-dimensional Fourier analysis.     

Fourier transform and related integral transforms in superspace

In this paper extensions of the classical Fourier, fractional Fourier and Radon transforms to superspace are studied. Previously, a Fourier transform in superspace was already studied, but with a different kernel. In this work, the fermionic part of the Fourier kernel has a natural symplectic structure, derived using a Clifford analysis approach. Several basic properties of these three transforms are studied. Using suitable generalizations of the Hermite polynomials to superspace (see [H. De Bie, F. Sommen, Hermite and Gegenbauer polynomials in superspace using Clifford analysis, J. Phys. A 40 (2007) 10441-10456]) an eigenfunction basis for the Fourier transform is constructed.     

Clifford algebras,Fourier transforms,and quantum mechanics

In this review, we give an overview of several recent generalizations of the Fourier transform, related to either the Lie algebra or the Lie superalgebra . In the former case, one obtains scalar generalizations of the Fourier transform, including the fractional Fourier transform, the Dunkl transform, the radially deformed Fourier transform, and the super Fourier transform. In the latter case, one has to use the framework of Clifford analysis and arrives at the Clifford–Fourier transform and the radially deformed hypercomplex Fourier transform. A detailed exposition of all these transforms is given, with emphasis on aspects such as eigenfunctions and spectrum of the transform, characterization of the integral kernel, and connection with various special functions.

Almost everywhere convergence of Banach space-valued Vilenkin-Fourier series

The duality between martingale Hardy and BMO spaces is generalized for Banach space valued martingales. It is proved that if X is a UMD Banach space and f ∈ L _p(X) for some 1 < p < ∞ then the Vilenkin-Fourier series of f converges to f almost everywhere in X norm, which is the extension of Carleson’s result. This paper was written while the author was researching at University of Vienna (NuHAG) supported by Lise Meitner fellowship No. M733-N04.

The surprising almost everywhere convergence of Fourier-Neumann series

For most orthogonal systems and their corresponding Fourier series, the study of the almost everywhere convergence for functions in L^p requires very complicated research, harder than in the case of the mean convergence. For instance, for trigonometric series, the almost everywhere convergence for functions in L² is the celebrated Carleson theorem, proved in 1966 (and extended to L^p by Hunt in 1967).In this paper, we take the system
