Detecting Fourier subspaces

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let G be a finite abelian group. We examine the discrepancy between subspaces of l^2(G) which are diagonalized in the standard basis and subspaces which are diagonalized in the dual Fourier basis. The general principle is that a Fourier subspace whose dimension is small compared to |G| = dim(l^2(G)) tends to be far away from standard subspaces. In particular, the recent positive solution of the Kadison-Singer problem shows that from within any Fourier subspace whose dimension is small compared to |G| there is standard subspace which is essentially indistinguishable from its orthogonal complement.
