On p-Helson sets in \(R^ n\) (Q909925): Difference between revisions

The structure of p-Helson sets (with \(p>1)\) in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) is investigated. A closed subset of \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) is said to be p-Helson if every continuous function defined on this set can be extended to a function of class \(A_ p({\mathbb{R}}^ n)\) (of functions with p-summable Fourier series). It is shown that if E is a compact set of Hausdorff dimension \(2n/q_ 0\) in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) then E is p-Helson for every \(p>q_ 0/(q_ 0-1)\) and this result is not improvable as for every real number \(q_ 0\geq 2\) and integer \(n\geq 1\) there exists a compact set \(E\subset {\mathbb{R}}^ n\) of Hausdorff dimension \(2n/q_ 0\) so that E is not p-Helson for any \(p<q_ 0/(q_ 0-1)\). It is also shown that the results are true for \(A_ p([-\pi,\pi]^ n)\).
