Abstract

We present a simple proof on the existence of L1L^1-flat analytic polynomials with coefficients 0,10,1 on the circle and on the real line and we give an example of a conservative ergodic map and flow whose unitary operators admits a simple Lebesgue spectrum. Among other results, we obtain an answer to Bourgain's question on the supremum of L1L^1-norm of such polynomials and to a question inspired by Lehmer's problem on the supremum of the Mahler measures of those polynomials.

Comments

A simple proof of the positive answer to the old problem asked by Banach from Scottish book is given. In this version, some misprints are corrected and by a counting argument, we get much simpler proof. Scientific comments are welcome! arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1508.06439
