Spectral synthesis with the complexity parameter

S. Deodhar, A. Iosevich

Abstract

We show that spectral synthesis thresholds are governed by a quantitative spectral complexity parameter, the Fourier Ratio, in addition to the geometric size of the Fourier support. In the Euclidean setting, we prove that if a compactly supported measure has finite $α$-dimensional packing measure and the associated Fourier ratio decays with asymptotic exponent $κ$, then the classical synthesis threshold improves from $\frac{2d}α$ to $\frac{2(d-2κ)}{α-2κ}$. We then establish an analogous result on compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary. In that setting the relevant object is a localized spectral Fourier ratio defined using Laplace--Beltrami spectral projectors. The resulting synthesis threshold is again determined by the decay exponent of this complexity parameter. These results place Euclidean and manifold spectral synthesis into a common framework in which geometric size and spectral complexity jointly govern uniqueness

Spectral synthesis with the complexity parameter

Abstract

We show that spectral synthesis thresholds are governed by a quantitative spectral complexity parameter, the Fourier Ratio, in addition to the geometric size of the Fourier support.

We then establish an analogous result on compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary. In that setting the relevant object is a localized spectral Fourier ratio defined using Laplace--Beltrami spectral projectors. The resulting synthesis threshold is again determined by the decay exponent of this complexity parameter.

Proposition 1.1

Suppose that $\widehat{{(f\mu)}_{R^{-1}}} \equiv \widehat{(f\mu)*\psi_{R^{-1}}}$ is $L^1$-concentrated in $X \subset {\mathbb R}^d$ in the sense that for some $\eta \in (0,1)$, where $X_R=X \cap B_{100R}$. Then where $E_f^{R^{-1}}$ is the $R^{-1}$-neighborhood of the support of $f\mu$. It follows that If we assume that there exist $c, C_X$ universal constants, and $s_f, \alpha_X \in (0,d)$, suc

Figures (2)

  • Figure 1: A schematic illustration of what the Fourier Ratio measures. Diffuse Fourier mass (left) corresponds to a small Fourier-ratio decay exponent $\kappa$, while strong concentration of Fourier mass (right) corresponds to larger $\kappa$ and stronger synthesis conclusions.
  • Figure 2: The synthesis threshold as a function of the Fourier-ratio decay exponent $\kappa$. When $\kappa=0$, one recovers the classical exponent $\frac{2d}{\alpha}$. As $\kappa$ increases, the allowable range of $p$ enlarges, and the threshold diverges as $\kappa \to \frac{\alpha}{2}$.
