Complete interpolating sequences for Paley-Wiener spaces and Muckenhoupt's \((A_p)\) condition (Q1382010)

The Paley-Wiener spaces \(L^{p}_{\pi}\) \((1<p<\infty)\) consist of all entire functions of exponential type at most \(\pi\) whose restrictions to \(\mathbb R\) are in \(L^{p}\). The authors study complete interpolating sequences for \(L^{p}_{\pi}\), that is those sequences \(\Lambda =\{\lambda_{k}\}, \lambda_{k} =\xi _{k} + i\eta _{k}\) in \( \mathbb C\) for which the problem \(f(\lambda _{k}) = a_{k}\) has a unique solution \(f\in L^{p}_{\pi}\) for every sequence \(\{a_{k}\}\) satisfying \(\sum _{k } | a_{k}| ^{p}e^{-p\pi | \eta _{k}| } (1+ | \eta _{k}|) < \infty\). In the case \(p=2\), this problem is equivalent to that of describing all unconditional bases in \(L^{2}(-\pi , \pi)\) of the form \(\{\exp (i\lambda _{k}t)\}\). The \(p=2\) case was solved in various stages by Pavlov, Nikol'skij and Minkin. Each author made critical use of the Hilbert space geometry of \(L^{2}_{\pi}\). In this paper the authors' method is dependent on the boundedness of the Hilbert transform in certain weighted \(L^{p}\) spaces of functions and sequences. Their proof holds for all \(p\), \(1<p < \infty\) and also shows that for \(p= \infty\) or \(0<p\leq 1\) there are no complete interpolating sequences.
