Abstract

We first construct a space W(Rcn)\mathcal{W}\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}} ^{n}\right) whose elements are test functions defined in Rcn=Rn{},\mathbb{R} _{\text{c}}^{n}=\mathbb{R}^{n}\cup\left\{ \mathbf{\infty}\right\} , the one point compactification of Rn,\mathbb{R}^{n}, that have a thick expansion at infinity of special logarithmic type, and its dual space W(Rcn),\mathcal{W}^{\prime }\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}}^{n}\right) , the space of slsl-thick distributions. We show that there is a canonical projection of W(Rcn)\mathcal{W} ^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}}^{n}\right) onto S(Rn).\mathcal{S} ^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) . We study several slsl-thick distributions and consider operations in W(Rcn).\mathcal{W}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}}^{n}\right) . We define and study the Fourier transform of thick test functions of S(Rn)\mathcal{S}_{\ast}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) and thick tempered distributions of S(Rn).\mathcal{S}_{\ast}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) . We construct isomorphisms F:S(Rn)W(Rcn), \mathcal{F}_{\ast}:\mathcal{S}_{\ast}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) \longrightarrow\mathcal{W}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}}^{n}\right) \,, F:W(Rcn)S(Rn), \mathcal{F}^{\ast}:\mathcal{W}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}} ^{n}\right) \longrightarrow\mathcal{S}_{\ast}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) \,, that extend the Fourier transform of tempered distributions, namely, ΠF=FΠ\Pi\mathcal{F}_{\ast}=\mathcal{F}\Pi and ΠF=FΠ,\Pi\mathcal{F}^{\ast} =\mathcal{F}\Pi, where Π\Pi are the canonical projections of S(Rn)\mathcal{S} _{\ast}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) or W(Rcn)\mathcal{W}^{\prime }\left( \mathbb{R}_{\text{c}}^{n}\right) onto S(Rn).\mathcal{S}^{\prime}\left( \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) . We determine the Fourier transform of several finite part regularizations and of general thick delta functions.
