Isospectral measures

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In recent papers a number of authors have considered Borel probability measures mu in such that the Hilbert space L2(mu) has a Fourier basis (orthogonal) of complex exponentials. If mu satisfies this property, the set of frequencies in this set are called a spectrum for mu. Here we fix a spectrum, say Gamma, and we study the possibilities for measures mu having Gamma as spectrum.


It is a historical issue to look for exponential bases of Hilbert spaces \(L^2(\mu)\), where \(\mu\) is a probability measure on \(\mathbb{R}^d\). If \(\mu\) is given, a spectrum of \(\mu\) is a set of frequencies \((\lambda)_{\lambda\in \Gamma}\) such that the corresponding set of exponential \((\exp(\lambda\cdot) )_{\lambda\in \Gamma}\) forms an orthonormal basis of \(L^2(\mu)\). It is known that the spectrum of a measure contains important information regarding the geometrical properties of \(\mu\). In this article, the authors build measures whose spectrum \(\Gamma\) are prescribed in advance. The proofs are based on standard harmonic and Fourier analysis techniques, and on previous results by the same authors. The paper is short, nicely written, and very pleasant to read.
