Failure of Wiener's property for positive definite periodic functions

Abstract

We say that Wiener's property holds for the exponent p>0p>0 if we have that whenever a positive definite function ff belongs to Lp(ϵ,ϵ)L^p(-\epsilon,\epsilon) for some ϵ>0\epsilon>0, then ff necessarily belongs to Lp(\TT)L^p(\TT), too. This holds true for p2\NNp\in 2\NN by a classical result of Wiener. Recently various concentration results were proved for idempotents and positive definite functions on measurable sets on the torus. These new results enable us to prove a sharp version of the failure of Wiener's property for p2\NNp\notin 2\NN. Thus we obtain strong extensions of results of Wainger and Shapiro, who proved the negative answer to Wiener's problem for p2\NNp\notin 2\NN.
