PREFACE On December 21, 1807 Jean Baptiste Joseph de Fourier (176S.1830) addressed the French Academy and made the claim that an arbitrary function defined on a finite interval could be represented as an infinite summation of cosine and sine functions. The mathematicians of that time - Fourier was an engineer - questioned the validity of Fourier's theorem. Their objections were not based on integrability of the function or on the sense of convergence. They believed that any combination of cosine and sine functions could give only infinitely differentiable functions. They could not reconcile Taylor's expansion with Fourier's expansion. Of course Taylor's concept and Fourier's concept in spite of being extremely different are not in contradiction. The Taylor series

is determined by the local behaviour of/, namely by the derivatives /(zo), and the expansion gives a continuation in the vicinity of Zo· The Fourier series ft3-0()

is determined by the global behaviour of /, namely by the Fourier coeffi-

cients lc.n), and the expansion gives the function in the entire range (0, 21r(.

Consider an analytic function / and expand it in a Taylor series about zo = 0. If the radius of convergence is greater than one Fourier and Taylor series coincide on the unit circle and represent the function /(eit). When the radius of convergence is equal to one the Taylor series will not converge at some or all points on the unit circle, even when f is defined on the unit circle. The Fourier series does in general converge and represent the function I on the unit circle. Thus Taylor series break down on the unit circle, but Fourier series are still valid. The essential ideas of Fourier series are the topic of this book. One can say (very roughly) that Fourier's expansions rest on the orthogonality of the functions z --t z" = eint, n E Z, iii

with respect to the Lebesgue measure on [O, 211'[. But our considerations are not restricted to the calculus in the corresponding Hilbert space. Expansions of functions belonging to arbitrary homogeneous Banach spaces can be investigated as well as pointwise convergence and various other topics. Our principal intention in writing this book has been to provide an introductory, self-contained, concise treatise on Fourier series, making use of some techniques of functional analysis and measure theory. We emphasize the concept of approximate identities for homogeneous Banach spaces on T (especially that of the Fejer and the Poisson kernel) and we give some applications in particular for weakly stationary stochastic processes. The text evolved from lectures given in a one year course at the Technical University of Munich. The elements of functional analysis (with proofs) used in the text are gathered in the appendix. Nevertheless it would be advantageous if the reader were familiar with basic facts concerning Banach spaces. The same is true for basic notions of measure theory, in particular for Lebesgue integration. Convergence theorems of measure theory often used in the book ca.n be found in the appendix, too. Concerning Lebesgue measure our preferred reference is (18J. This book cannot and should not cover completely such an immense theme as Fourier series. For example we do not investigate the concept of maximal functions. There are two well-known encyclopaedic monographs on classical Fourier analysis, the monumental treatises by A. Zygmund [24] and N.K. Bari [3). Of course there are further excellent books on Fourier analysis focusing on certain aspects of the subject. The reader may find many of them in the references (6], [7), [9), (13), [14] and [22). The present book is meant as an introduction to Fourier transforms on T, i.e., to Fourier series, in a clear and compact form for students with some basic knowledge of real and functional analysis and of measure theory. The first two chapters deal with basic facts of Fourier transforms of functions which are elements of homogeneous Banach spaces on T. Here we have chosen access by means of the Fejer kernel. Chapter 3 shows the pointwise convergence of Fejer and Poisson series of integrable functions. Hilbert space theory is used in Chapter 4. The concept of conjugation and projection is studied in Chapter 5 to derive results on norm convergence of the Fourier series. The main facts concerning local convergence are given in Chapter 6. These six chapters can be understood as the most elementary account of Fourier series. They should give a first general idea of Fourier analysis on T. All other sections deal mainly with approximation and convergence problems, Chapter 7 is devoted to representations by

Fourier coefficients. In particular Herglotz's theorem is proved as well as Wiener's characterization of continuous measures . The Hilbert transform is introduced and its continuity as an operator on V(T), 1 < p < oo, is derived in Chapter 8. The investigation of approximate identities is continued in Chapter 9, where the Rogosinski kernel, the Jackson kernel and many others are studied. Chapter 10 deals with triangular summation schemes""·"' n e N0 , k = 0, ... , n. The concavity (or convexity) of the sequences ""·" is fairly useful to derive approximate identities. In the next chapter the performance of the approximate identities is compared with the elements of best approximation. Among others Jackson's theorems are given and examples of Zygmund approximation sequences are introduced. Chapter 8 to 11 so far concentrate on more advanced problems of approximation. The following three chapters are devoted to H"-spaces and related topics. In Chapter 12 Poisson kernels and harmonic functions are studied, the Beurling-Helson Theorem is given as well as the theorem of F. and M. Riesz characterizing those measures µ with J'(n) = 0 for n < 0. In Chapter 13 the conjugation of approximate identities is discussed and in Chapter 14 the SzegO-Kolmogorov theorem related to SzegO's extremum problem - is derived. A dual point of view, in fa.ct starting from l 1 (Z), is presented in the chapter on absolute convergence containing also results on spectral synthesis. In Chapters 16 and 17 the major facts of the Fourier transform and Plancherel transform on R are given. Applying these results the Poisson summation formula is proved in Chapter 18. Its usefulness is stressed by deriving the Whittaker-Shannon sampling theorem on R. A list of exercises is added to each chapter. Most of them are supplementary to the text or simply present interesting results on the subject. The problems range in difficulty from simple to hard. During the writing of this book I benefitted from the advice and constructive criticism of many colleagues, and thank them all. In particular I thank Frank Filbir and Roland Girgensohn for making valuable suggestions for improvement. Special thanks are due to Manfred Tasche for the meticulous care with which he examined the whole manuscript; his comments were extremely helpful. I am especially indebted to Martina Weber who performed the typesetting perfectly without losing her sense of humour. Rupert Lasser

One of the main problems in Fourier analysis is to discover conditions guaranteeing the convergence of S(/) and to investigate whether f = S(/) is valid. We see that our task is a problem of approximation. Given a function f on the torus T, we consider trigonometric polynomials built up by Fourier coefficients (or weighted Fourier coefficients) and ask whether the Fourier polynomials approximate the function /. The weights are introduced to improve certain features of the common Fourier series. We will also investigate other approximation procedures such as by Poisson series or Gaussian series. They are limits of certain weighted (infinite) Fourier series. The general approach will be that of approximate identities. Of course, our problem depends heavily on whether we focus on local or global aspects. For global approximation properties in general the corresponding norm is important. The reader will subsequently find many figures showing the approximation of various functions by (weighted) Fourier polynomials. The following properties of the Fourier coefficients can be derived directly from their definition.

Definition (1.4) : Let /, g e L 1(T). The function h of Theorem (1.3) is denoted by / • g and is called the convolution of I and g. A direct (though somewhat cumbersome) calculation shows that the convolution is a commutative, associative and (with the addition) distributive operation in L 1 (T). Hence, L 1 (T) is a commutative Banach algebra. In

The following useful result shows that the convolution of an arbitrary f E L 1 (T) and a trigonometric polynomial again yields a trigonometric polynomial.

The norm llSnll 8 is the operator-norm of Sn· Note that Sn maps B into itself. Since Sn(/)= Dn • f, we have

llSnll 8 =

The numbers Ln = llDnlh are called Lebesgue constants. The estima.tion llSnll 8 S Ln is, in general, not very useful to get a convergence result. However, to obtain divergence the asymptotic behaviour of Ln can be applied. In fact, we can prove that the sequence of Lebesgue constants Is unbounded.

Theorem (5.4) : The L 1 (T)-norm convergence of every Fourier series does not hold, i.e., there exists a function f E L 1(T) such that (Sn/)neN

is

not convergent in the 11111-norm.

PROOF. Since the set of all trigonometric polynomials is dense in L 1 (T), Theorem (5.1) gives the existence of a function f E L 1 (T) whose Fourier series does not converge to/. Assuming that Sn(/) tends tog e L 1 (T), the Fej~r sums Un(/) converges tog, too. According to Theorem (2.6) we have then g =/,a contradiction.

The same results hold for B = C(T). In fact, we have

Lemma [5. 5 J :

The equality llSnllC{T)

= Ln is valid for all n e N.

PROOF. Let e > 0. Consider small neighbourhoods around the zeros of Dn(z) such that the union V of these neighbourhoods has a Lebesgue measure smaller than 2n\t. Now choose a continuous function V'n E C(T) with llV'nlloo $ 1 and IPn(z) = sign(Dn(z)) for all z E T\V. Applying IDn(z)I $ 2n + 1 for all z E T, we obtain

Therefore, llSnllC{T) 2: Ln holds.

Theorem (5.6) : The C(T)-norm convergence of every Fourier series does not hold, i.e., there exists a function f E C(T) such that (Sn/)neN is not uniformly convergent. Moreover, one can prove the following result:

With these concepts we will finally succeed in proving norm convergence of the Fourier series in .V(T), 1 < p < oo, see Chapter 8. Given

Definition (5.8) : Let B be a homogeneous Banach space on T. (1) We say that B admits conjugation, if for all/ e B there exists a function g e B such that g(n) = (-i) sign(n)/(n) and

These two statements can be obtained by an application of the Riesz-Thorin theorem, which is a general result of interpolation of continuity of certain linear operators. For the proof of the Riesz-Thorin theorem we refer the reader to (7, 13.4.lJ. Let (X, M, µ) be a measure space. (M is a a-algebra of subsets of X, andµ a positive measure defined on M.) For a µ-measurable function / we define

Note that II/II,,,,. may be oo. A function/: X - C is called µ-simple, if it is expressible as linear combination of characteristic functions XM, where M E M with µ(M) < oo. Instead of (X, M, µ) we use the shorter form (X, µ).

Theorem (5.13) ; (Riesz-Thorin) Let (Xi, µi) be two measure spaces, and let S be a linear operator defined on all µ 1-simple functions and taking values in the space of µ2-measurable functions on X2.

We have to show the Riesz-Thorin theorem yields the Hausdorff-Young theorem. For part (a) of Theorem (5.12) we consider (X1 1 µ 1) = (T, 2~dz) and (X2 1 µ2) = (Z,dn), where dz is the Lebesgue measure on T and dn is the counting measure on the integers. The Fourier transformation f will be the linear operator S. Further take (a1 1 P1) = (1,0) and (a2,/h) = (~,!). By Theorem (1.2)(5) and Corollary (4.10)(1) we can apply the Riesz-Tborin theorem and o~ tain Theorem (5.12)(a). For the second statement of Theorem (5.12) we interchange the roles of (T, /;dz) and (Z,dn). Now the linear operator S will be c - t, where c = (c1c)1cez and t(e") = E~_ 00 c1ce•A:t. We take again (a1 1 P1) = (1,0) and (a2,P,) = (l, !). For (a1P1) = (1,0) we consider l 1 (Z) with the image A(T). Obviously lltlloo ~ llclh· Using Corollary (4.10){3) we get Theorem (5.12)(b), too .

If An(z), n E N, make up an approximate identity for B and if we assume that c = (Cn)nez is given by Cn = f(n) for / e B, then by Theorem (1.5) the sequence (An~)neN converges in B to/. The converse implication is also valid. In fact, we have: 75

an appropriate 6 > O. By Corollary (2.11) approximate f uniformly 6

(Note that

the approximating Fejer polynomials are real-valued, since / is realvalued.) These polynomials approximate/ also in the V(T)-norm. By Lemma (8.4)(1) the set Ee is closed, and hence f E Ee follows. If/ E C(T), / 2: O, by approximation with positve continuous functions we obtain f e Ee as well. Then by Lemma (8.4)(2) and (3) each/ E C(T) is an element of Efc. Finally, using again Lemma (8.4)(1) we have furnished V(T) = Efc. {2) In a second step we prove for 1 < p $ 2 that positive trigonometric polynomials / satisfy the inequality llH(/)11, ::S ell/II,. Since we assume 1 < p $ 2 there exists 6 = 6, with 0 < 6 < 1 < ~ < Pi $ 1r. Set a=~ and {J = Hence, a< 0 and {J > 0. Alao, we have for It!< f:

The last two integrals are as functions of z = e" elements of B, that converge in B with j --+ io to cost and sin t . Because of II II 1 ~ II II s this is also valid in L 1{T). Therefore we have

lim k1 • 11(1) =

Now, on the one hand, enq, n E No, are orthogonal elements of A. On the other hand, all e_nq, n EN, are orthogonal to A, since q is orthogonal to e 1A. Therefore, A is equal to the closure of the linear hull of {enq : n E No}. This means exactly A= qH2(T). t Applying the Beurling-Helson theorem (12.6), we obtain some interesting consequences:

If A~ {O} is an invariant subspace of H2(T), then Corollary (12.7): A= qH2(T), where q is an inner function. PROOF. By A~ H2(T) there does not hold e1A =A. In fact, assuming e1A = A implies e_nA = A for all n E N. Select f E A ~ H 2(T), f ~ 0, and let n E No with lcn) ~ 0. Then e-n-1/ E A ~ H 2 (T) is valid in contradiction to (e_,._iff(-1) = f(n) ~ 0. Hence, case (2) of Theorem (12.6) applies. For the existing function q according to Theorem (12.6) we get qH2(T) =A~ H 2 (T). Consequently, q is an element of 112(T), i.e., q is an inner function. t We are also able to derive easily the result of Exercise 9, Chapter 4.

Corollary (12.8,): Let f E H2(T). Ifthe set {t E (0,211'(: /(e") = O} has a positive Lebesgue measure, then the function f is zero almost everywhere. PROOF. By/ e 112(T) we have A1 ~ H 2 (T). HI =-F 0 then A1 ~ {O} and by means of Corollary (12.7), we obtain A1 = qll2(T), where q is an inner function. Since f equals zero on {t E (0,211'(: /(e") = O}, each function of

POISSON INTEGRALS AND HARDY SPACES

A I is also equal to zero almost everywhere on this set, a contradiction to A1 =qH2 (T). t In the proofof Corollary {12.8) we have observed that for J E H 2 (T), J :f 0, it holds A1 = qH2(T), where q is an inner function. In particular, there is a function he H2(T) such that

f =qh. Obviously, h is an outer function, since we have

Theorem (12.9) : (Factorization theorem) 2 Let f e H (T), I :f 0. Then f can be written as a product

/=qh, where q is an inner function, h an outer function. This factorization is unique up to a constant of absolute value one. PROOF. The uniqueness of the factorization remains still to be shown. Let q1h1 = q-zh2 be almost everywhere, where qi. q2 are inner functions and hi, ~are outer functions. Then hi = -q1q-zh2 almost everywhere and

Hence, q 1q2 and q1q2 are elements of H2(T). Now functions g and g can be both in H 2 (T) only, if g is constant almost everywhere. Hence, q1q2 equals almost everywhere a constant of absolute value 1 showing the stated uniqueness.

The factorization theorem can be extended. For that we prove:

Hence, gip is orthogonal to all functions gen, n E N. By A, = e1A, the element is orthogonal even to A,. Applying Theorem (12.6) we get 2 A,= XEL (T), E ~ T, Ea Borel set. By g e XEL 2 (T) we see g(e") = 0 for almost all e" E T\E. Furthermore, XE9TP E XEL 2 (T) = A1 implies

Theorem (12.11) : Let IE H 1 (T), I:/: o. Then I can be written as product / = qh2 , where q is an inner function and h an outer function.

PROOF. According to Lemma {12.10) write g = as g = ijh, where h E H 2 (T) and q has absolute value 1 almost everywhere. We have Ah = H2(T), since Ah = qA1 = H2(T). Defining VJ as in the proof of Lemma (12.10), we obtain

If we prove that q = rp(q) 2 is an inner function the desired factorization off follows. Since h is an outer function, there exist trigonometric polynomials Pn e H 2 (T) such that Pnh tends with respect to the L 2 (T)-norm to the constant function 1 E H 2 (T) as n - oo. Then Pn/ E H 1(T) and Pn/ = cpq2(Pnh)h - cpq2h as n - oo with respect to the L 1 (T)-norm. Thus, cpq2h is an element of H 1 (T). Moreover, h e L2 (T) implies that v'rh even belongs to H2(T). Again multiplying by Pn we get Pncpq2h n - oo in the L 2 (T}-norm. Hence, e H 2 (T) and by Corollary (12.8)

the zero-set of tp(f has Lebesgue measure equal to zero. Consequently, r.p';f is an inner function.

+

From the preceding proof we know the zero-set of tp(f, and hence that off is a Lebesgue null set. Therefore, we have a stronger version of Corollary (12.8):

Corollary (12.12): lffor f E H 1 (T) the Lebesgue measure of {eit ET: /(e") = O} is positive, then f = 0 almost everywhere.

The factorization off E H 1 (T) in Theorem (12.11) contains also the following result.

Now by Exercise (7)(b) of Chapter 12 the given function I is an element of H 1 (T). Moreover Theorem (12.14) and Exercise (7)(c) of Chapter 12 imply that the analytic extension F of f has no zeros. Hence Theorem (14.1) gives ln(J) e L 1 (T). t We insert a short section to demonstrate how Theorem (14.4) can be applied to solve a linear prediction problem of time series analysis. Let (Xn)nez be a weakly stationary sequence of random variables with finite variances, see Chapter 7, Exercise 8.

A sequence (Zn)nEZ of random variables is called "white noise" if E(Zn) = 0 and Cov(Zn, Zm) = 6n,m 1 i.e., the random variables Zn have zero mean value and are uncorrelated. The spectral measure of (Zn)nez is the (normalized) Lebesgue measure on T.

On the Hilbert space H(X) an unitary linear operator U: H(X)- H(X) = Xn+l· In fact the weak stationarity implies that the linear extension of the shift-mapping is well-defined and unitary. Thus U can be extended to H(X), see Exercise 2. Evidently U(Hn-1(X)) = Hn(X) is valid. A weakly stationary sequence (Xn)nez is called regular if is given that extends the shift operator, i.e., U(Xn)

H_ 00 (X) = {O} . Regular weakly stationary sequences are not predictable in the sense that its values are not determined by its "past". Given a weakly stationary sequence (Xn)nez a random sequence (Zn)nez is called innovation sequence for (Xn)nez if (Zn)nez is white noise and if Hn(X) = Hn(Z) for every n e Z. The following characterization of regular weakly stationary sequences can be proved merely by tools of Hilbert space theory.

Theorem (15.3) contains in fact that a• b = (a• b(n))nez E l 1(Z) and Ila• blli ~ llall1 llbll1· The reader should compare the convolution on Z with the convolution on T in Theorem (1.3). We mention that such a commutative operation may be defined on any locally compact Abelian group G, see e.g. (13, Ch. VII). Compare also with Exercise 1. The fact that A(T) is a Banach algebra with unit we shall utilize now to derive important results of Levy and Wiener. Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with unit. Let &(A)= {h: A - C: h :f. 0, h linear and multiplicative} be the set of all nonzero homomorphisms of the algebra A. Thus each h e &(A) satisfies h(az + /311) oh(x) + {Jh(y) and h(:.i:71) h(x)h(11) for x, 'II e A and o, /3 e c.

The set &(A) can be identified with the set of all maximal ideals of A by h - kerh, where kerh = {x e A: h(x) = O}. A proof of this result can be found in the Appendix C. As a consequence we obtain the following characterization of invertible elements of A.

Theorem (15.4) : Let A be a. commutative Bane.ch e.lgebre. with unit. Then x E A is invertible if e.nd only if h(x) #: 0 for every h E d(A). PROOF. Denote e the unit-element of A. Obviously h(e) = 1 is valid and hence 1 = h(xx- 1) = h(x)h(x- 1) if xis invertible. Therefore h(x) #: 0 for e.ny h E d(A). Now assume h(x) #: 0 for every he d(A}, but x not invertible. Then Ax is an idea.I in A. Let M be a. maxima.I idea.I in A such the.t Ax ~ M. By the result mentioned above there exists a. homomorphism h E d(A) such that Ax~ M ker h.

Next we determine the set of a.II homomorphims of A(T}.

Lemma {15.5) : We have d(A(T)) = {ha : z E T}, where the linear functione.ls ha a.re defined by ha(/) = /(z} for a.II f E A(T). The mapping z - ha of Tonto d(A(T)) is a. bijection.

PROOF. It is easy to check the.tea.ch h11 , z ET, is a. homomorphism on A(T). Denote e 1(z) = z and e-1(z} = z- 1. Ee.ch homomorphism is a continuous linear functione.1 with norm less or equal to 1, see Appendix C. Hence for h E d(A(T)) we get lh(e1}l ~ 1 e.nd l/lh(e1}I = lh(e-11 ~ 1. That means h(e1} ET. Let z h(e1) ET. Then h(eo) 1, h{e-1) z- 1 and finally h(en} = z" for every n E Z. Therefore h(/} = /(z} holds for a.II f E A(T), and we have shown h =ha. Since for z1, z2 ET, z1 #: z2, we have h111 (e1) = z1 ./: z2 = h112 (e1} the injectivity of z - ha follows, and the lemma is proved completely. t

Indeed for summation kernels (k>.heJO,oo( on R one can directly transfer the results corresponding to Lemma (2.3) and Theorem (2.4). To show the analogue of Lemma (2.5) one has to note that the space of continuous functions with compact support (this subspace we will denote by Coo(R)) is dense in L 1 (R). Thus one obtains:

For the Fourier transform we have: PA(o) =exp(-lxD for all a ER. To show this, consider /(x) = X(O,oo(e-s and g(x) = XJ-oo,o(es. The corresponding Fourier transforms are f(a) = (1 + ia)- 1 and g(o) = (1 - U:a>- 1• Setting h{x) = /(x) + g(x) = e-lsl, we obtain h{a) = ~· Ash and h elements of L1 (R) the inversion formula gives PA(o)

PLANCHEREL TRANSFORM ON R In Chapter 4 we have shown that the Fourier transform is an isometric isomorphism of L 2 (T) onto l2(Z). A corresponding result for L 2 (R) does not exist without any modification, since the Fourier transform is generally not defined for f e L 2 (R).

Since Coo(R) is dense in L 2 {R) we can extend the Fourier transform of C00 (R) to L2 (R) by applying Lemma (17.1). In fact if f e L2 (R), then there exists a sequence (/ri)neN1 /n E Coo(R) with II/ - /nll2 - 0 as n - oo.

Defnition (17.2): For J e L 2 {R) the Pl~cherel transform P(/) e L 2(R) is defined as the limit in the L 2-norm of the sequence Cin)neN where (/n)neN is an arbitrary sequence of functions of Coo(R) con\rerging to/ in the L 2 -norm . The Plancherel transform P and the Fourier transform .... are defined on L 1(R) n L 2 (R). Both transforms in fact coincide.

The convergence of to P(/) with respect to the L 2-norm implies a subsequence (nt)A:eN of N such that /n,,(a) converges to P(/}(a.) for almost all a e R (compare Exercise 9 of Chapter 3). Hence = P(J) holds almost everywhere. By Lemma (17.1) and Definition (17.2) we get:

The other assertions are contained in the foregoing results of Lemma (17.3), Theorem (17.4) and Theorem (17.6). • To analyze the pointwise convergence of tT>..(/) to/ for square integrable functions /, we define the convolution of a function g E L1 (R) with a function / E V'(R), 1 < p < oo.

Also in Corollary (18.9), respectively Corollary (18.11) we may assume that f E L 1 (R) n C(R) with /(a) = 0 for lal > 11' respectively lal > 11'W. In applications of signal processing f is in general assumed to have finite energy, i.e., f E L 2 (T). If one extends the Fourier transforma.tion to V(R), 1 < p < 2, (which is possible, see e.g. (5]), then the corresponding results from above are also valid for V(R)-functions.

POISSON SUMMATION FORMULA

(2) Functions/ e L 2 (R) with P(/) vanishing almost everywhere outside of the interval (-cS, cS) are called band-limited. Choosing the smallest a such that P(f)IR\[-a, a) = 0 almost everywhere and writing a = 1f'W the sampling rate 1/w is called Nyquist rate. According to Corollary (18.11) the Nyquist rate is the greatest sampling rate allowing exact reconstruction of f by the values f(k/w), k E Z. {3) The band-limited functions f e L 2 {R) n C(R) can be characterized as follows by the Paley-Wiener theorem. The function/ e L2 (R) satisfies P(f)IR\(-a, a) = 0 almost everywhere if and only if f has an extension to the whole complex plane C (also denoted by/) such that / is an entire function and for every z E C it holds

where Mis a positive constant independent of z. To prove that a band-limited function f e L 2 (R) n C(R) has an entire extension ofexponential type (i.e., the boundedness condition {b) is satisfied) is rather easy, see Exercise 5. For the more involved converse implication we refer to [18, Chapter 19). Many further results on this topic can be found in (2).

The measure space, which we usually consider, is X = T = { z E C : lzl = I}. There is an obvious identification of T with (0, 21r[ by the mapping t - e". By that mapping the Lebesgue u-algebra and the Lebesgue measure is transferred from (0, 21r( to T. In this way the Lebesgue measure dz on T is the restriction of the Lebesgue measure dt on R to (0, 21r[. Thus a function is Lebesgue integrable on T if the corresponding function on (0, 211"[ is Lebesgue-integrable. As topological space we consider T as subset of the complex plane C. The reader should note that T and (0, 21r[ are not homeomorphic. The most important feature of the Lebesgue measure dz on T is the translation invariance, i.e.,

£

/(zzo )dz = 1

£

/(z)dz

for all Lebesgue-integrable functions on T. If the measure µ on T is the Lebesgue measure we write V(T) instead of V(µ). Further we point out that T is a group, which can be identified with R/27rZ. Moreover T is the most prominent example of a compact commutative topological group, see e.g. (19

II).

B

BANACH SPACES We use two important results of functional analysis: The principle of uni· form boundedness {which often is also called Banach.Steinhaus theorem) and the conditionally sequentially compactness of norm·bounded subsets in LP-spaces, 1 < p < oo, (which is part of the theorem of Eberlein·Smulian). Since our problems of Fourier series can be attached with greater ease when they are placed within the framework of Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces, we give their bBSic notions.

Definition (B. ll : A linear Banach space B over the complex numbers C is said to be a normed linear space, if there exists a mapping II II : B !O, oo! called norm, if the following rules hold:

llxll = 0 if and only if x = 0. llaxll = lal llxll for a e C, x e B. llx + Yll $ llxll + llYll for x, y E B . By d(x, y) = llx - Yll a metric is defined on B. (1) (2) (3)

A normed linear space B is called Banach space if B is complete in the metric defined by its norm. Consider V(µ), 1 $ p < oo, as defined in Appendix A. The collection V(µ) is a linear space. The only property of a norm not satisfied by

11/11,, =

(fx 1/(x)I" dµ(x))

l/p

is that 11/11., may be zero without J being the zero-function. Since 11/11,. = 0 precisely when /(x) = 0 for µ·almost all x, we introduce an equivalence relation in V(µ) by writing f""" g if and only if II/ - gll., = O. The set of all equivalence classes is also denoted by V(µ), and it is straightforward to check now V(µ) with II II,. is a normed linear space. But note that when investigating V{µ), not a space whose elements are functions, but a space whose elements are equivalent classes of functions is considered. Nevertheless for the sake of simplicity we will speak of V(µ) as a space of

functions.

271

APPENDIX B

272

It is very important that V(µ), 1 ~ p < oo, is a Banach space. The proof of the completeness uses the lemma from Fatou, see [18, Theorem 3.11). To deal with p = oo, the essential supremum is introduced. For a complex measurable function / define

11/lloo = ess sup l/(x)I = inf{M 2: 0: µ{x EX: l/(x)I 2: M} = O}, :r:EX

and let L 00 (µ) be the linear space of all complex measurable functions with 11/11 00 < oo. Identifying all functions, which differ only on a µ-zero set, one obtains, that L 00 (µ) with norm II Hoo is also a Banach space. (The careful reader will note that the essential supremum is sometimes introduced by means of locally µ-zero sets, resulting in another L00 (µ)-space, see e.g. [UJ. But in our text we always consider a-finite meMures, and in this case both definitions coincide.) An important subcl888 of Banach spaces are Hilbert spaces.

Definition (B.2) : A linear space H over the complex numbers C is said to be an inner product space, if there exists a mapping < , > : H x H - C called scalar product, if the following properties are satisfied:

< x, x > 2: 0 for all x E H and < x,x > = 0 if and only if x=O. (2) < ax + {3y, z > = a < x, z > + {3 < y, z > for x, y, z E H, a,{3 EC. (3) < x, y > = < y, x > for x,y EH. (1)

By Hxll = < x, y > 112 a norm is defined on H, such that H becomes a normed linear space, and H is called Hilbert space, when H is complete. The space L 2 (µ) is a Hilbert space, where the scalar product is defined by

< /, g > =

l

f(x) g(x) dµ(x).

We will often use the notion linear operators or linear functionals when analyzing the behaviour of Fourier series.

$1}.

If llSll < oo, the operator Sis called bounded linear operator. When we take the complex field C for Y we talk about bounded linear functionals. Further B* is the collection of all bounded linear functions on B. The bounded linear opeartors are exactly the continuous linear operators. The linear space B* is with the norm above a Banach space, often called dual space of B. We leave the verification of these properties as exercise.

Theorem (B.4) : (Uniform boundedness principle) Let B be a Banach space and Y a normed linear space. Suppose S is a collection of bounded linear operators of B into Y, such that sup {llSxll

Theorem (B.5) :

Let B be a separable Banach space, (i.e., there ex-

ists a dense countable subset in B). Suppose that (Fn)nEN is a norm-

bounded sequence in B•. Then there exist a subsequence (Fn.)teN and an element F E B• such that

PROOF. Let {xJ};eN be a dense subset of B. The sequence (Fn(x1))neN is a bounded sequence in C. Hence there exists a convergent subsequence, which we write as (Fn1(x1))n1eN· By the same reason this subsequence contains a further subsequence such that (Fn1(x2))neN is convergent. It is easily seen that the diagonal sequence (Fnn)neN has the property that each sequence (Fnn(xJ))neN is convergent. Since {xJ}JeN is dense in B, we even obtain the convergence of (Fnn(X))nEN for every x EB. Now consider the linear functional Since {IFnn(x)I : n E N} is bounded for each x E X, the principle of uniform boundedness yields sup{llFnnll : n E N} = M and we obtain for each x

We will apply Theorem (B.5) in case of B = L 11 (T), 1 < q < oo. The Banach spaces L"(T), 1 :s; q < oo are separable. The dual space L"(T)• can be identified with V(T), where p is determined by ~ + = 1, see 118, Theorem 6.16) .

Examples of Banach algebras with unit are C(T), L 00 (T), M(T) and l 1 (Z). Also on L 1 (T) is defined a multiplication (the convolution). However, there does not exist a unit element in L 1 (T). Note that as throughout this book we consider complex Banach algebras. The spectrum of an element x E A is the set of all complex numbers .\ such that .\e - xis not invertible. We denote the spectrum of x by cr(:r). It is a very important fact that u(z) is a not empty set of C. We give a sketch of the proof of this result due to Beurling and Gelfand.

Lemma (C.!J: Let A be a Banach algebra with unit. For every x EA the spectrum of xis not empty.

PROOF. Assume cr(x) = 0. For every bounded linear functional FE A* define RF : C - C, RF(.\) = F((.\e - x)- 1 ). Now we can give a Taylor expansion of RF in each point .\o E C. 277

So far we have shown that RF : C - C is an entire function. Applying the continuity of the inversion, we get

Therefore RF is the zero-function. However there exists F E A• with F((..\e - x)- 1 ) IO, a contradiction. t

Corollary (C.3) : (Gelfand-Mazur) If A is a Banach algebra with unit in which every nonzero element is invertible, then A is isometrically isomorphic to C. PROOF. Since O'(x) I 0, there exists ..\ E C such that .Xe - x is not invertible, and must be 0 by the assumption. Moreover there can be at most one..\ with .Xe= x. Thus we have shown that there exists exactly one ..\ = ..\(x) such that .Xe = x. The mapping x - ..\(x) is the stated isometric isomorphism. t We consider commutative Banach algebras A with unit. Associate with A the set ~(A)=

{h: A - C : h I 0, h linear and multiplicative}

and the set

M(A)

= {M ~ A:

M

is a maximal ideal of A}.

Maximal ideals are proper ideals which are not contained in any larger proper ideals. We shall show that A(A) and M(A) can be identified. But first we prove that each h E A(A) is a bounded linear functional.

Theorem (C.4) : Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with unit e. Then A(A) ~ A•, and moreover llhll = 1 = h(e) is true for every he A(A). PROOF. Let h E A(A). Assume that lh(xo)I > Uxoll for some xo e A. Put x = xo/h(xo). Then llxll < 1 and h(x) = 1. Since llx"ll ~ llxll" the elements

+ y = xy, which implies h(x)

Since x + Yn

=

+ h(y) = h(x) h(y).

But this contra.diets h(x) = 1. Thus h h(e) = 1, we also have llhll = 1. t

A• and llhll ~ 1 follows. Since

Theorem (C.5) : Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with unit. For h E A(A) let ker h = {x e A : h(x) = O}. Then ker h is a maximal ideal of A, and the mapping

h _. ker h,

A(A) _. M(A)

is bijective. PROOF. Evidently ker h is a proper ideal of A, and A/ ker h is isomorphic to C. Hence ker his a maximal ideal of A. If hi, h2 e A(A) and x EA with hi(x) :I= h2(x), then x - h2(x)e e kerh2 and x - h:r(x)e fj kerh1, proving that h _. ker his one-to-one. Finally consider Me M(A). Observing that M is closed, it is easy to see that A/M is a Banach algebra with unit. The quotient space A/Mis even a field. To see this, let x e A\M, and put

I = {ax + y : a e A, y e M}.

APPENDIX C

Since I is an ideal, which contains M properly, we get I= M . Hence there exists an element ao e A with aox + y = e. That means ao + M is the inverse of x+M in A/M. Now by Corollary (C.3) there is an isomorphism ~of A/M onto the complex field C. If h = ~ o 'Ir, where 1r: A-+ A/Mis the canonical projection, then h e AA and ker h = M. t Concludingly we note, that the set A(A) can be given a compact Hausdorff topology such that A can be represented es an algebra of continuous functions contained in C(A(A)). This representation is the most important tool in the investigation of commutative Banach algebras. AP. general references for Banach algebras we mention [20j.
