Spectral synthesis in multidimensional Fourier algebras
Kanupriya, N. Shravan Kumar
TL;DR
The paper extends spectral synthesis theory to the multidimensional Fourier algebra $A^n(G)$ on locally compact groups. It develops an operator-space framework with Haagerup-type tensor products, establishes functorial and support properties, and proves multidimensional subgroup lemmas and injection/inverse projection theorems for spectral and Ditkin sets, including normal and amenable-group variants. A key result is the parallel synthesis between $A^n(G)$ and $A^{n+1}(G)$ in compact groups, enabling a multidimensional analogue of Malliavin's theorem. The work culminates in a multidimensional Malliavin-type dichotomy: for abelian $G$, all closed subsets of $G^n$ are spectral iff $G$ is discrete, and in general the synthesis properties force discreteness and related structural constraints on $G$.
Abstract
Let $G$ be a locally compact group and let $A^n(G)$ denote the $n$-dimensional Fourier algebra, introduced by Todorov and Turowska. We investigate spectral synthesis properties of the multidimensional Fourier algebra $A^n(G).$ In particular, we prove versions of the subgroup lemma, injection, and inverse projection theorems for both spectral sets and Ditkin sets. Additionally, we provide a result on the parallel synthesis between $A^n(G)$ and $A^{n+1}(G)$ and finally prove Malliavin's theorem.
