Fourier Frames on Salem Measures

Abstract

For every 0<s10<s\leq 1 we construct ss-dimensional Salem measures in the unit interval that do not admit any Fourier frame. Our examples are generic for each ss, including all existing types of Salem measures in the literature: random Cantor sets (convolutions, non-convolutions), random images, and deterministic constructions on Diophantine approximations. They even appear almost surely as Brownian images. We also develop different approaches to prove the nonexistence of Fourier frames on different constructions. Both the criteria and ideas behind the constructions are expected to work in higher dimensions. On the other hand, we observe that a weighted arc in the plane can be a 11-dimensional Salem measure with orthonormal basis of exponentials. This leaves whether there exist Salem measures in the real line with Fourier frames or even orthonormal basis of exponentials a subtle problem.
