Sur la singularité des produits de Riesz et des mesures spectrales associées à la somme des chiffres (Q1137611)

It is shown (by an elegant proof) that two Riesz products with constant coefficients and distinct Fourier spectra are mutually singular. The method gives also a generalization of a result of \textit{T. Kamae} [Osaka J. Math. 15, 569--574 (1978; Zbl 0391.10034)]: Denote by \(S_r(n)\) the sum of digits of \(n\) in the \(r\)-adic representation, then the spectral measures of the sequences \(\exp(2i\pi aS_p(n))\) and \(\exp(2i\pi aS_q(n))\) are mutually singular if \(p\neq q\), \(a(p-1)\notin \mathbb Z\), \(b(q-1)\notin \mathbb Z\) (Kamae proved the result for relatively prime integers \(p\) and \(q\)).
