Abstract

Recently, Krukowski characterised the classical Fourier transform on the real line in terms of its behaviour with respect to differentiation. For locally compact abelian groups, he obtained a characterisation based on the behaviour of the Fourier transform under the shift. Each of these results assumed that the operator (to be characterised) is an integral transform (with a kernel satisfying suitable regularity conditions), paired with a normalisation which he refers to as the Dirac delta property. In this paper, we obtain analogous results for the group Fourier transform on the Heisenberg group. Here, the differentiation property is formulated in terms of the behaviour of the group Fourier transform with respect to the left-invariant vector fields, and the shift property is based on its behaviour under right translation. Both of these characterise the group Fourier transform on the Heisenberg group, once paired with a Dirac delta property. Our results assume that the transform is continuous and linear, and do not require it to be an integral transform a priori.

Hausdorff dimension of the graph of a random vector-valued Weierstrass function

Let $\{θ_n,λ_n:n\geq0\}$ be mutually independent random variables, each uniformly distributed on $[0,1]$, and write $Θ=(θ_n)_{n\geq0}$ and $Λ=(λ_n)_{n\geq0}$. The random vector-valued Weierstrass function is given by $$f_{Θ,Λ}(x)= \left( \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a^n\cos\bigl(2π(b^n x+θ_n)\bigr),\ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a^n\sin\bigl(2π(b^n x+λ_n)\bigr) \right), \; x\in[0,1],$$ where $0 1$. The Hausdorff dimension of the graph of this function is proved to be $$\dim_H G(f_{Θ,Λ}) = \min\left\{-\frac{\log b}{\log a}, \, 3 +2\frac{\log a}{\log b}\right\} \quad \text{a.s}.$$

Characterization of the boundedness of the segment multiplier on rearrangement-invariant spaces

Given rearrangement-invariant (r.i.) spaces $X$ and $Y$, we show that the segment multiplier, the truncated Hilbert transform, and the discrete Hilbert transform (on the associated discretized space) are bounded from $X$ to $Y$ simultaneously. Moreover, when $X = Y$ this boundedness is characterized by a condition on a pair of Boyd-type indices. We also exhibit an r.i. space on which the segment multiplier is bounded while the (non-truncated) Hilbert transform fails to be bounded.

Endpoint regularity of Radon transforms associated with real analytic phases in the plane

In this paper, we consider the endpoint Sobolev regularity of Radon transforms associated with real-analytic functions in the plane. We establish all of the failure of endpoint regularity for real-analytic phases. On the one hand, the critical endpoint regularity $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)\rightarrow L^p_s(\mathbb{R}^2)$, corresponding to extreme points of the reduced Newton polyhedron of phase function, is true if only and only if $p=2$. For generic extreme points, this failure of endpoint regularity generalizes a result of Christ \cite{christ}. On the other hand, we find that the endpoint Sobolev regularity also fails on a bounded segment of the reduced Newton polyhedron when the bisectrix $y=x$ intersects one of unbounded faces at a relative interior point. In particular, our results imply that the Radon transform is not bounded from $L^p$ into $L^p_{1/n}$ with $p=n/(n-1)$ or $p=n$, where the phase functions are real-valued homogeneous polynomials $S(x,y)=a_1x^{n-1}y+a_2x^{n-2}y^2+\cdots+a_{n-1}xy^{n-1}$ with $n\geq 3$ and $a_1a_{n-1}\neq0$. This answers a problem of Phong and Stein in 1994. Moreover, the main results of this paper also give examples which show failure of critical Sobolev regularity for degenerate Fourier integral operators satisfying finite type conditions formulated in \cite{Seeger93,seeger2}. Based on earlier results and our proof of several remaining cases, we conclude that all of other critical endpoint Sobolev estimates are true for Radon transforms associated with real-analytic phases in the plane. Therefore, all failures of endpoint regularity estimates are clearly determined.
