The weighted Fourier inequality, polarity, and reverse Hölder inequality (Q1634831)

The author continues the long-lasting study by many mathematicians of the problem of conditions on weights \(u\) and \(v\) for which Pitt's inequality \[ \left( \int_{\mathbb R^n} |\widehat f|^q u\right)^{\frac1q}\leq C\left( \int_{\mathbb R^n} |f|^p v\right)^{\frac1p} \] for any function in the Lebesgue space with weight \(v\). For some reason the author avoids naming this problem after Pitt. Also, as some authors do, he studies this problem for \(f\in L^1(\mathbb R^n)\). The author's contribution consists in involving interesting geometric conditions. More precisely, necessary and sufficient conditions (different) are given in terms of an old result of Mahler concerning the measure of a convex body and its geometric polar being essentially reciprocal.
