    FOURIER UNIQUENESS IN R4 ANDREW BAKAN, HAAKAN HEDENMALM, ALFONSO MONTES-RODRÍGUEZ, DANYLO RADCHENKO, AND MARYNA VIAZOVSKA Abstract. We show an interrelation between the uniqueness aspect of the recent Fourier interpolation formula of Radchenko and Viazovska and the Heisenberg uniqueness for the Klein-Gordon equation and the lattice- cross of critical density, studied by Hedenmalm and Montes-Rodríguez. This has been known since 2017. 1. Introduction 1.1. Basic notation in the plane. We write Z for the integers, Z+ for the positive integers, R for the real line, and C for the complex plane. We write H for the upper half-plane {τ ∈ C : Im τ> 0}. Moreover, we d let h·, ·id denote the Euclidean inner product of R . 1.2. The Fourier transform of radial functions. For a function f ∈ L1(Rd), we consider its Fourier transform (with x = (x1,..., xd) and y = (y1,..., yd)) −i2πhx,yid fˆ(y):= e f (x)dvold(x), dvold(x):= dx1 ··· dxd. ZRd If f is radial, then fˆis radial too. A particular example of a radial function is the Gaussian iπτ|x|2 (1.2.1) Gτ(x):= e , which decays nicely provided that Im τ> 0, that is, when τ ∈ H. The Fourier transform of a Gaussian is another Gaussian, in this case −d/2 −d/2 τ −iπ|y|2/τ τ (1.2.2) Gˆ τ(y):= e = G−1/τ(y), i i Here, it is important that τ 7→ −1/τ preserves hyperbolic space H. In the sense of distribution theory, the above relationship extends to boundary points τ ∈ R as well.

We call this the body packing problem. Problems of this kind are solved comple- tely only in rare cases. One powerful method to attack these geome- tric questions is linear programming. This approach was developed by Philippe Delsarte in the early seventies. Based on inequalities for © Maryna Viazovska the distance distribution of point configurations, this method was successfully applied to the “kissing number problem“ in dimensions 8 and 24. The original Delsarte method was applied to the optimization on compact spaces. In 2003, Cohn and Elkies generalized this method to Euclidean space. In particular, they improved existent upper bounds for the maximum density of sphere packings in dimensions 4,...,36. Recently, Viazovska and her coauthors proved that linear pro- gramming provides tight bounds for sphere packing in dimensions 8 and 24. In her talk, Viazovska will explain the linear programming method and demonstrate how it works on various examples. Born in the Ukraine, Maryna Viazovska completed her PhD at MPIM in Bonn in 2013 under the supervision of Don Zagier. Her research interests include number theory and discrete geometry. In October 2013, she became a visiting researcher at the IHÉS in France. In August 2014, she took up the two-year position of BMS Dirichlet Postdoctoral Fellow based at HU Berlin, during which time she solved the hyper- sphere packing problem for dimension 8.

The Notices is an interesting and engaging magazine that is read by mathematicians all over the world. As members of the AMS, we should all be proud to have the Notices as our magazine of record. Personally, I have enjoyed reading the Notices for over 30 years, and I appreciate the opportunity that the AMS has given me to shape the magazine for the next three years. I hope that under my leadership even more people will look forward to reading it each month as much as I do. Above all, I would like the focus of the Notices to be on expository articles about pure and applied mathematics broadly defined. I would like the authors, topics, and writing styles of these articles to be diverse in every sense except for their desire to explain the mathematics that they love in a clear and engaging way.
