Fourier Transforms is a first in a series of monographs we present on harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is one of the most fascinating areas of research in mathematics. Its centrality in the development of many areas of mathematics such as partial differential equations and integration theory and its many and diverse applications in sciences and engineering fields makes it an attractive field of study and research.
The purpose of these notes is to introduce the basic ideas and theorems of the subject to students of mathematics, physics or engineering sciences. Our goal is to illustrate the topics with utmost clarity and accuracy, readily understandable by the students or interested readers. Rather than providing just the outlines or sketches of the proofs, we have actually provided the complete proofs of all theorems. This will illuminate the necessary steps taken and the machinery used to complete each proof.
The prerequisite for understanding the topics presented is the knowledge of Lebesgue measure and integral. This will provide ample mathematical background for an advanced undergraduate or a graduate student in mathematics.
In this paper we investigate strong summability of the two-dimensional Walsh-Fourier series obtained in Weisz \cite{We} (see Theorem W) and prove sharpness of this result.
We consider the bilinear Fourier multiplier operator with the multiplier written as a linear combination of a fixed bump function. For those operators we prove two transference theorems, one in amalgam spaces and the other in Wiener amalgam spaces.
The main aim of this paper is to investigate $\left(H_{p},L_{p}\right)$- type inequalities for the the maximal operators of Nörlund logaritmic means, for $0<p<1.$
These notes are concerned with harmonic and holomorphic functions on Euclidean spaces, using quaternions and Clifford algebras in higher dimensions. The main themes are weak solutions, the mean-value property, and subharmonicity.
Fourier series with absolutely summable coefficients provide a classical example of a commutative Banach algebra, and these notes are concerned with this and related matters.
In this article, we prove that a cone is a Heisenberg uniqueness pair corresponding to sphere as long as the cone does not completely recline on the level surface of any homogeneous harmonic polynomial on $\mathbb R^n.$ We derive that $\left(S^2, \text{ paraboloid}\right)$ and $\left(S^2, \text{ geodesic of } S_r(o)\right)$ are Heisenberg uniqueness pairs for a class of certain symmetric finite Borel measures in $\mathbb R^3.$ Further, we correlate the problem of Heisenberg uniqueness pairs to the sets of injectivity for the spherical mean operator.
Given a smooth bump function, we consider the multiplier formed by taking the linear combination of the translations of the bump function and the corresponding bilinear Fourier multiplier operator. Under certain condition on the bump function, we give a complete characterization of the coefficients of the linear combination for which the corresponding bilinear operator defines a bounded operator from $L^2\times L^2$ to $L^2$-based amalgam spaces.
We prove a maximal Fourier restriction theorem for the sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ for any dimension $d\geq 3$ in a restricted range of exponents given by the Stein-Tomas theorem. The proof consists of a simple observation. When $d=3$ the range corresponds exactly to the full Stein-Tomas one, but is otherwise a proper subset when $d>3$. We also present an application regarding the Lebesgue points of functions in $\mathcal{F}(L^p)$ when $p$ is sufficiently close to 1.
In this article, we present the best possible upper and lower bounds for the Neuman-Sándor mean in terms of the geometric combinations of harmonic and quadratic means, geometric and quadratic means, harmonic and contra-harmonic means, and geometric and contra-harmonic means.
The main aim of this paper is to investigate Paley type and Hardy-Littlewood type inequalities and strong convergence theorem of partial sums of Vilenkin-Fourier series.
The nonlinear Fourier transform discussed in these notes is the map from the potential of a one dimensional discrete Dirac operator to the transmission and reflection coefficients thereof. Emphasis is on this being a nonlinear variant of the classical Fourier series, and on nonlinear analogues of classical analytic facts about Fourier series. These notes are a summary of a series of lectures given in 2003 at the Park City Mathematics Institute.
We consider integrals of spherical harmonics with Fourier exponents on the sphere $S^n ,\, n \geq 1$. Such transforms arise in the framework of the theory of weighted Radon transforms and vector diffraction in electromagnetic fields theory. We give analytic formulas for these integrals, which are exact up to multiplicative constants. These constants depend on choice of basis on the sphere. In addition, we find these constants explicitly for the class of harmonics arising in the framework of the theory of weighted Radon transforms. We also suggest formulas for finding these constants for the ge…
These notes present a first graduate course in harmonic analysis. The first part emphasizes Fourier series, since so many aspects of harmonic analysis arise already in that classical context. The Hilbert transform is treated on the circle, for example, where it is used to prove L^p convergence of Fourier series. Maximal functions and Calderon--Zygmund decompositions are treated in R^d, so that they can be applied again in the second part of the course, where the Fourier transform is studied. The final part of the course treats band limited functions, Poisson summation and uncertainty principle…
In this note we provide a negative answer to a question raised by M. Kreisel concerning a condition on the short-time Fourier transform that would imply the HRT conjecture. In particular we provide a new type of uncertainty principle for the short-time Fourier transform which forbids the arrangement of an arbitrary "bump with fat tail" profile.
We propose a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function on the real line to be a characteristic function of a probability measures. The statement is given in terms of harmonic functions and completely monotonic functions.
In this note, we derive non trivial sharp bounds related to the weighted harmonic-geometric-arithmetic means inequalities, when two out of the three terms are known. As application, we give an explicit bound for the trace of the inverse of a symmetric positive definite matrix and an inequality related to the coefficients of polynomials with positive roots.

Any constructive continuous function must have a gradually varied approximation in compact space. However, the refinement of domain for $σ-$-net might be very small. Keeping the original discretization (square or triangulation), can we get some interesting properties related to gradual variation? In this note, we try to prove that many harmonic functions are gradually varied or near gradually varied; this means that the value of the center point differs from that of its neighbor at most by 2. It is obvious that most of the gradually varied functions are not harmonic.This note discusses some of…
For functions defined on the $n$-dimensional hypercube $I_n (r) = \{\bm{x} \in \mathbb{R}^n ~\vert~ \vert x_i \vert \le r,~ i = 1, 2, \ldots , n\}$ and harmonic therein, we establish certain analogues of Gauss surface and volume mean-value formulas for harmonic functions on the ball in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and their extensions for polyharmonic functions. In particular, our results contribute to the best one-sided $L^1$-approximation by harmonic functions on $I_n (r)$.
These are notes to accompany four lectures that I gave at the School on Additive Combinatorics, held in Montreal, Quebec between March 30th and April 5th 2006. My aim is to introduce ``quadratic fourier analysis'' in so far as we understand it at the present time. Specifically, we will describe ``quadratic objects'' of various types and their relation to additive structures, particularly four-term arithmetic progressions. I will focus on qualitative results, referring the reader to the literature for the many interesting quantitative questions in this theory. Thus these lectures have a distinc…
Let $X$ be a complete, simply connected harmonic manifold of purely exponential volume growth. This class contains all non-flat harmonic manifolds of non-positive curvature and, in particular all known examples of harmonic manifolds except for the flat spaces. Denote by $h > 0$ the mean curvature of horospheres in $X$, and set $ρ= h/2$. Fixing a basepoint $o \in X$, for $ξ\in \partial X$, denote by $B_ξ$ the Busemann function at $ξ$ such that $B_ξ(o) = 0$. then for $λ\in \C$ the function $e^{(iλ- ρ)B_ξ}$ is an eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with eigenvalue $-(λ^2 + ρ^2)$. For a…
We make progress on a question by Vemuri on the optimal Gaussian decay of harmonic oscillators, proving the original conjecture up to an arithmetic progression of times. The techniques used are a suitable translation of the problem at hand in terms of the free Schrödinger equation, the machinery developed in the work of Cowling, Escauriaza, Kenig, Ponce and Vega , and a lemma which relates decay on average to pointwise decay. Such a lemma produces many more consequences in terms of equivalences of uncertainty principles. Complementing such results, we provide endpoint results in particular cla…
