To M. de Guzmán's question on Fourier multipliers of polygonal domains (Q1920875)

Let \(B\) be a disk and \(P\) be a polygon in the plane and denote by \(\chi_B\) and \(\chi_P\) their characteristic functions, respectively. It is known that \(\chi_P\) is an \(L^p\)-multiplier of the Fourier transform in the plane for \(1<p<\infty\), but \(\chi_B\) is only an \(L^2\)-multiplier. In 1981, M. de Guzmán posed the question for description of the domains \(E\), which are in some sense intermediate ``between'' the disk and the polygon such that \(\chi_E\) is an \(L^p\)-multiplier for some \(1<p<\infty\). The author's opinion is that it is natural to investigate this problem first for polygonal domains \(P_\theta\) with infinitely many sides which are inscribed in the disk and have vertices at the points \(A_k=(\cos\theta^{-1}_k,\sin \theta^{-1}_k)\), where the sequence \(\theta_k\uparrow\infty\). The author contains certain sufficient conditions on this sequence such that \(\chi_{P_\theta}\) be an \(L^p\)-multiplier for \(p=2\) or for all \(1<p<\infty\).
