Lecture 7: Inversion, Plancherel and Convolution Lecture 7: Inversion, Plancherel and Convolution Johan Thim ([email protected]) April 2, 2021 \You should not drink and bake" |Mark Kaminski 1 Inversion of the Fourier Transform So suppose that we have u 2 G(R) and have calculated the Fourier transform F u(!). Can we from F u(!) recover the function we started with? Considering that the Fourier transform is constructed by the multiplication with e−i!x and then integration, what would happen if we multiplied with ei!x and integrate again? Formally, 1 R 1 R 1 F u(!)ei!x d! = lim u(t)e−i!tei!x dt d! = lim u(t)e−i!(x−t) dt d! ˆ−∞ R!1 ˆ−R ˆ−∞ R!1 ˆ−R ˆ−∞ 1 R = lim u(t) e−i!(x−t) d! dt; R!1 ˆ−∞ ˆ−R where we changed the order of integration (this can be motivated) but we're left with something kind of weird in the inner parenthesis and we would probably like to move the limit inside the outer integral. First, let's look at the expression in the inner parenthesis: R e−i!(x−t) R e−iR(x−t) eiR(x−t) 2 sin(R(x − t)) e−i!(x−t) d! = = − + = ; x 6= t: ˆ−R −i(x − t) !=−R i(x − t) i(x − t) x − t The Dirichlet kernel (on the real line) Definition. We define the Dirichlet kernel for the Fourier transform by sin(Rx) D (x) = ; x 6= 0; R > 0; R πx and DR(0) = R/π. Note that we changed the normalization of the function. There's a reason for this and we'll get to that soon. For now, observe that 1 1 1 1 i!x F u(!)e d! = lim u(t)DR(x − t) dt = lim u(t + x)DR(t) dt: 2π ˆ−∞ R!1 ˆ−∞ R!1 ˆ−∞ You probably recall the sinc-function, and the Dirichlet kernel on the real line is such a function and for a couple of values of R you can see the graphs below. 1 y R = 1 R = 2 5 R = 5 R = 7 x −9 −8 −7 −6 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The Fourier inversion formula Theorem. If u 2 G(R) has right- and lefthand derivatives at x, then 1 R u(x+) + u(x−) lim F u(!)ei!x d! = : R!1 2π ˆ−R 2 Proof. First, we write R 0 1 1 i!x F u(!)e d! = u(t + x)DR(t) dt + u(t + x)DR(t) dt 2π ˆ−R ˆ−∞ ˆ0 and claim that 0 u(x−) 1 u(x+) u(t + x)DR(t) dt ! and u(t + x)DR(t) dt ! ; ˆ−∞ 2 ˆ0 2 as R ! 1. We prove the second identity (the first is proved analogously). To this end, we split the integral in two parts: 1 π 1 u(t + x)DR(t) dt = u(t + x)DR(t) dt + u(t + x)DR(t) dt: ˆ0 ˆ0 ˆπ The reason for this is that we need to exploit different properties of u to prove the desired result. First, let x be fixed. Then the function t 7! t−1 u(t + x) is in G(R), so the Riemann Lebesgue lemma implies that 1 1 1 u(t + x) lim u(t + x)DR(t) dt = lim sin(Rt) dt = 0: R!1 ˆπ R!1 π ˆπ t Turning our attention to the first integral, we write π π π + + u(t + x)DR(t) dt = u(t + x) − u(x ) DR(t) dt + u(x )DR(t) dt ˆ0 ˆ0 ˆ0 π π + + = u(t + x) − u(x ) DR(t) dt + u(x ) DR(t) dt: ˆ0 ˆ0 2 Since D+u(x) exists (by assumption), it is clear that the difference quotient u(t + x) − u(x+) t is bounded and that this expression belongs to E([0; π]). Therefore, the Riemann Lebesgue lemma (again!) implies that π π + + 1 u(t + x) − u(x ) lim u(t + x) − u(x ) DR(t) dt = lim sin(Rt) dt = 0: R!1 ˆ0 R!1 π ˆ0 t Finally, we observe that π Rπ Rπ 1 sin x 1 sin x 1 π 1 DR(t) dt = x = Rt = dx = dx ! · = ; as R ! 1; ˆ0 πR ˆ0 x=R π ˆ0 x π 2 2 due to the following result. 1 sin x π Theorem. dx = . ˆ0 x 2 We defer the proof of this until at the end of the lecture. Uniqueness Corollary. If u; v 2 G(R) and F u(!) = F v(!) for every ! 2 R, then u(x) = v(x) for all x 2 R where u and v are continuous and D±u(x) and D±v(x) exists. An Airy equation Find a (formal) expression for a nonzero solution to u00(x) − xu(x) = 0. Solution. Assuming that u 2 G(R) is twice differentiable with u0; u00 2 G(R), we can take the Fourier transform and obtain that (i!)2U(!) − iU 0(!) = 0 , U 0(!) − i!2U(!) = 0 d 3 3 , e−i! =3U(!) = 0 , U(!) = Cei! =3; d! where C is an arbitrary constant (and we used an integrating factor to solve the differential equation). Therefore, 1 1 1 3 3 u(x) = Cei! =3ei!x d! = D ei(! =3+!x) d!; 2π ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ where D is some constant, might be an expression for a solution. Now the question is of course if this integral is convergent. Certainly it is not absolutely integrable (why?) and we can't claim that the expression solves the equation by previous results. This is an instance where we would like to extend the Fourier transform to a larger class of functions. 3 2 The Fourier Transform of the Fourier Transform So looking at the inverse Fourier transform, it's almost the same as the Fourier transform. Indeed, the only difference is the sign in the exponent of the exponential and the factor before the integral. This means that the inverse transform has pretty much the same properties as the Fourier transform. This also means the following useful result. Theorem. If u; U 2 G(R) and U(!) = F(u)(!), then 1 F −1(U)(x) = F(F u)(−!)(x) and F(F u(!))(x) = 2πu(−x); 2π for every x where u is continuous and D±u(x) exist. This follows immediately from the definitions of the transforms and the result above. The assumption that D±u(x) exist is superfluous but we do not know that at this point (we'll show that next lecture). If u is discontinuous, but still in G(R), then the equalities still hold if we view the results as elements from L1(R), meaning that the difference has L1-norm zero. Example 1 Find the Fourier transform of . 1 + x2 1 1 Solution. Let u = e−|xj. We know from before that F(u) = F(e−|xj=2)(!) = , and 2 1 + !2 1 since both u and x 7! belong to G(R) and are continuous with right- and lefthand 1 + x2 derivatives at every point, we find that 1 2πu(−x) = F(F u(!))(x) = F (x); 1 + !2 1 1 1 so since 2πu(−x) = 2π · e−|−xj = 2π · e−|xj, it is clear that F (!) = πe−|!j: 2 2 1 + x2 3 Convolution A useful type of \product" of two functions is the convolution (sv. faltning), defined as follows. Convolution Definition. The convolution u ∗ v : R ! C of two functions u: R ! C and v : R ! C is defined by 1 (u ∗ v)(x) = u(t)v(x − t) dt; x 2 R; ˆ−∞ whenever this integral exists. So when does this integral exist? 4 Theorem. If u; v 2 L1(R), then u ∗ v 2 L1(R). Proof. We first prove that u ∗ v is absolutely integrable: 1 1 1 ju ∗ v(x)j dx = u(t)v(x − t) dt dx ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ 1 1 ≤ / monotonicity / ≤ ju(t)v(x − t)j dt dx ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ 1 1 = / Fubini / = ju(t)v(x − t)j dx dt ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ 1 1 = ju(t)j jv(x − t)j dx dt: ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ Note now that 1 1 jv(x − t)j dx = / s = x − t / = jv(s)j ds; ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ so 1 1 1 1 ju(t)j jv(x − t)j dx dt = ju(t)j dt jv(s)j ds < 1: ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ A more compact way of stating this result is that ku ∗ vkL1(R) ≤ kukL1(R)kvkL1(R): The right-hand side is finite by assumption. This does ensure that u ∗ v exists as an element in L1(R), but we need to be a bit more precise in this course. Theorem. If u; v 2 G(R) and either u or v is bounded, then u ∗ v 2 L1(R) is continuous and bounded. Proof. Assume that u is bounded. Note that 1 1 ju ∗ v(x)j = u(t)v(x − t) dt ≤ kuk1 jv(x − t)j dt = kuk1kvkL1(R); ˆ−∞ ˆ−∞ so clearly u ∗ v is bounded. Moreover, using the same type of estimate, 1 ju ∗ v(x + h) − u ∗ v(x)j ≤ kuk1 jv(x + h − t) − v(x − t)j dt; (1) ˆ−∞ | {z } ! 0 as h!0 which would prove that u ∗ v is continuous. The fact that the second integral tends to zero however, is not obvious.

Fourier transform on Rn We start by presenting some standard properties of the Euclidean Fourier transform; see for example [6] and [4]. Given f ∈ L1(Rn), we define its Fourier transform by setting Z fb(ξ) = e−ix·ξf(x)dx. Rn n ih·ξ If for h ∈ R we let (τhf)(x) = f(x + h), then it follows that τdhf(ξ) = e fb(ξ). Now for suitable f the inversion formula Z f(x) = (2π)−n eix·ξfb(ξ)dξ, Rn holds and we see that the Fourier transform decomposes a function into a continuous sum of characters (eigenfunctions for translations). If A is an orthogonal matrix and ξ is a column vector then f[◦ A(ξ) = fb(Aξ) and from this it follows that the Fourier transform of a radial function is again radial. In particular the Fourier transform −|x|2/2 n of Gaussians take a particularly nice form; if G(x) = e , then Gb(ξ) = (2π) 2 G(ξ). In general the Fourier transform of a radial function can always be explicitly expressed in terms of a Bessel 1 2 NEIL LYALL transform; if g(x) = g0(|x|) for some function g0, then Z ∞ n 2−n n−1 gb(ξ) = (2π) 2 g0(r)(r|ξ|) 2 J n−2 (r|ξ|)r dr, 0 2 where J n−2 is a Bessel function.

  • The Plancherel Formula for Parabolic Subgroups
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS, Vol. 28. Nos, 1-2, 1977 THE PLANCHEREL FORMULA FOR PARABOLIC SUBGROUPS BY FREDERICK W. KEENE, RONALD L. LIPSMAN* AND JOSEPH A. WOLF* ABSTRACT We prove an explicit Plancherel Formula for the parabolic subgroups of the simple Lie groups of real rank one. The key point of the formula is that the operator which compensates lack of unimodularity is given, not as a family of implicitly defined operators on the representation spaces, but rather as an explicit pseudo-differential operator on the group itself. That operator is a fractional power of the Laplacian of the center of the unipotent radical, and the proof of our formula is based on the study of its analytic properties and its interaction with the group operations. I. Introduction The Plancherel Theorem for non-unimodular groups has been developed and studied rather intensively during the past five years (see [7], [11], [8], [4]). Furthermore there has been significant progress in the computation of the ingredients of the theorem (see [5], [2])--at least in the case of solvable groups. In this paper we shall give a completely explicit description of these ingredients for an interesting family of non-solvable groups. The groups we consider are the parabolic subgroups MAN of the real rank 1 simple Lie groups. As an intermediate step we also obtain the Plancherel formula for the exponential solvable groups AN (see also [6]). In that case our results are more extensive than those of [5] since in addition to the "infinitesimal" unbounded operators we also obtain explicitly the "global" unbounded operator on L2(AN).

THE PLANCHEREL FORMULA FOR COUNTABLE GROUPS BACHIR BEKKA Abstract. We discuss a Plancherel formula for countable groups, which provides a canonical decomposition of the regular represen- tation of such a group Γ into a direct integral of factor represen- tations. Our main result gives a precise description of this decom- position in terms of the Plancherel formula of the FC-center Γfc of Γ (that is, the normal sugbroup of Γ consisting of elements with a finite conjugacy class); this description involves the action of an appropriate totally disconnected compact group of automorphisms of Γfc. As an application, we determine the Plancherel formula for linear groups. In an appendix, we use the Plancherel formula to provide a unified proof for Thoma's and Kaniuth's theorems which respectively characterize countable groups which are of type I and those whose regular representation is of type II.

  • Reduced C*-Algebra for Reductive P-Adic Hx~Ps
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector Reduced C*-Algebra for Reductive p-adic hx~ps R. J. PLYMEN Receivtxi June 17. 1988 1.1I Let G be a reductive group over H. For any field F we can consider the group G(F) of F-points on G. For example, let G be the general linear group GIL(n). By taking F to be the real field BB,the complex field @, the p-adic field Q,,, or the finite ikid F,, we obtain successively the groups GL(n, [w), GL(n, @I),GL(n, Q$,,),and the finite group GL(n, q). 1.2. At first glance, the groups G(F) for different fields F appear to have little in common with each other. I. Ceifand has conjectured that the struc- ture of the repre~~~~at~onsof G(F) has fundamental features which do not depend on a choice of F. This conjecture was a theme in Kazhdan’s talk at the ICM 86 18, p. 8491. We shah restrict ourselves to the real field R, the complex field c, and focal fields. We recall that the local fields are the finite extensions of the field Q, of p-adic numbers, and the finite extensions of the power series field F,,((x)). 1.3. We shall obtain, in conformity with the Gelfand conjecture, a struc- ture theorem for the reduced C*-algebra of G(F) which is independent of F. The reduced C*-algebra C:(G(F)) is a version of the group algebra of G(F) which is well-adapted to the Plancherel theory of G(F).

  • Bounded H∞-Calculus for Hilbert Space Operators (Extended)
    Chapter 11 Bounded H1-Calculus for Hilbert Space Operators 11.1 Bounded H1-Calculus Let D ⊆ C be some (non-empty) domain in the complex plane. We say that an operator A on a Banach space X has a bounded H1-calculus on D if there is a bounded representation Φ :H1(D) !L(X) such that its canonical extension within Mer(D) has A as its generator (in the sense that Φ(z) = A). Obviously, the case D = C is pretty uninteresting since H1(C) = C1 by Liouville's theorem. So in the following we take D 6= C as a standing assumption. In general, to say that A \has a bounded H1(D)-calculus" does not tell much. In particular, considered in this generality there is no reason to think that such a calculus must be unique. However, if we suppose even more that D 6= C, then for each λ 2 CnD one −1 1 has rλ := (λ − z) 2 H (D), and hence Φ(rλ) = R(λ, A). In this case Φ is completely determined at least on the space of rational functions bounded on D and then, by boundedness of Φ, on the closure of this space with respect to the uniform norm kfk1;D := supfjf(z)j j z 2 Dg: For certain domains D one can then use results from complex approximation 1 theory to infer that some special, explicitly constructed, H -calculus ΦA for A is bounded. (The reason for this is usually that a general function f 2 H1(D) can be approximated by a bp-convergent sequence of bounded rational functions, and the calculus ΦA is bp-continuous in a certain sense.) In such a situation, A having \a" bounded H1-calculus on D is equivalent 1 to the concretely given ΦA being bounded on H (D), and the latter is what is usually intended when one uses the former terminology.
