Abstract

Symmetry problems in harmonic analysis are formulated and solved. One of these problems is equivalent to the refined Schiffer's conjecture which was recently proved by the author. Let k=const>0k=const>0 be fixed, S2S^2 be the unit sphere in R3\mathbb{R}^3, DD be a connected bounded domain with C2C^2-smooth boundary SS, j0(r)j_0(r) be the spherical Bessel function. The harmonic analysis symmetry problems are stated in the following theorems: {\bf Theorem A.} {\em Assume that Seikβsds=0\int_S e^{ik\beta \cdot s}ds=0 for all βS2\beta\in S^2. Then SS is a sphere of radius aa, where j0(ka)=0j_0(ka)=0. } {\bf Theorem B.} {\em Assume that Deikβxdx=0\int_D e^{ik\beta \cdot x}dx=0 for all βS2\beta\in S^2. Then DD is a ball.
