Abstract

In 1991, Shinichi Kotani proved a theorem giving a sufficient condition to conclude that a function f(x)f(x) on Zd{\mathbb Z}^d decays like x(d2)|x|^{-(d-2)} for large xx, assuming that its Fourier transform f^(k)\hat f(k) is such that k2f^(k)|k|^{2}\hat f(k) is well behaved for kk near zero. The proof was not published. We prove an extension of Kotani's Theorem, based on Kotani's unpublished proof.
