We develop a general theory of higher semiadditive Fourier transforms that includes both the classical discrete Fourier transform for finite abelian groups at height $n=0$, as well as a certain duality for the $E_n$-(co)homology of…
The main result of this paper is a far reaching generalization of the completeness result given by V.~Katsnelson in a recent paper [35]. Instead of just using a collection of dilated Gaussians it is shown that the key steps of an earlier…
We explore the extent to which the Fourier transform of an $L^p$ density supported on the sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can have large mass on affine subspaces, placing particular emphasis on lines and hyperplanes. This involves establishing…
In this paper, we define $A_{\vartheta _{1},\vartheta _{2}}^{p,1,q,r}\left(G\right) $ to be space of all functions in $\left( L_{\vartheta_{1}}^{p},\ell ^{1}\right) $ whose Fourier transforms belong to $\left( L_{\vartheta _{2}}^{q},\ell…
We characterize when bivariate real analytic functions are "dimension expanding" when applied to a Cartesian product. If $P$ is a bivariate real analytic function that is not locally of the form $P(x,y) = h(a(x) + b(y))$, then whenever $A$…
Given a function $f\in L^2(\mathbb R)$, we consider means and variances associated to $f$ and its Fourier transform $\hat{f}$, and explore their relations with the Wigner transform $W(f)$, obtaining a simple new proof of Shapiro's…
We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators $\M$ associated to smooth hypersurfaces $S$ in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. For $p>2,$ we prove that if no affine tangent plane to $S$ passes through the origin and $S$ is analytic,…
Minkowski's question mark function is strictly increasing on $[0, 1]$ and hence defines a Stieltjes measure on $[0, 1]$. A problem originating from Salem in 1943, is to determine whether the Fourier series of this measure decay to zero or…
In this paper we characterize the closed invariant subspaces for the ($*$-)multiplier operator of the quaternionic space of slice $L^2$ functions. As a consequence, we obtain the inner-outer factorization theorem for the quaternionic Hardy…
This dissertation concerns the pseudo-differential operators of type 1,1. These have been known especially since around 1980, when it was shown that they play an important role in the treatment of fully non-linear partial differential…
We prove several results concerning the theory of Toeplitz algebras over $p$-Fock spaces using a correspondence theory of translation invariant symbol and operator spaces. The most notable results are: The full Toeplitz algebra is the norm…
Let $P$ denote the $3$-dimensional paraboloid over a finite field of odd characteristic in which $-1$ is not a square. We show that the Fourier extension operator associated with $P$ maps $L^2$ to $L^{r}$ for $r > \frac{32}{9} \approx…
For the multiple Fourier series of the periodization of some radial functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$, we investigate the behavior of the spherical partial sum. We show the Gibbs-Wilbraham phenomenon, the Pinsky phenomenon and the third…
We study the finite dimensional spaces $V$ which are invariant under the action of the finite differences operator $\Delta_h^m$. Concretely, we prove that if $V$ is such an space, there exists a finite dimensional translation invariant…
The main content of this work is devoted to study various explicit family of special functions generalizing the famous 2D Sleipain functions, founded in 1960's by D. Slepian and his co-authors. As a consequence, many desirable spectral…
Suppose $1 < p < \infty$. Carleson's Theorem states that the Fourier series of any function in $L^p[-\pi, \pi]$ converges almost everywhere. We show that the Schnorr random points are precisely those that satisfy this theorem for every $f…
We prove that for any $2<p<\infty$ and for every $n$-dimensional subspace $X$ of $L_p$, represented on $\mathbb R^n$, whose unit ball $B_X$ is in Lewis' position one has the following two-level Gaussian concentration inequality: \[ \mathbb…
Both the Kullback-Leibler and the Tsallis divergence have a strong limitation: if the value $0$ appears in probability distributions $\left( p_{1},\cdots ,p_{n}\right)$ and $\left( q_{1},\cdots ,q_{n}\right)$, it must appear in the same…
This is the material for two lectures given at Ecole Polytechnique in May 2011 for the math teachers of "classes pr\'eparatoires"(parallel to the undergraduate classes in universities). The introduction is a personal overview on Fourier…
A halfspace is a function $f\colon\{-1,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ of the form $f(x)=\mathbb{1}(a\cdot x>t)$, where $\sum_i a_i^2=1$. We show that if $f$ is a halfspace with $\mathbb{E}[f]=\epsilon$ and $a'=\max_i |a_i|$, then the degree-1…
