Some remarks on the algebra of bounded Dirichlet series (Q1958523)

Let \({\mathbb C}_0:=\{s\in{\mathbb C}\mid \Re(s)>0 \}\) and \( {\mathcal H}^\infty\) the Banach algebra of Dirichlet series \( f(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s}\) analytic and bounded in \({\mathbb C}_0\). If \(d\) is a positive integer, \({\mathcal H}^\infty(d)\) denotes the Banach subspace of \({\mathcal H}^\infty\) formed by those \(f(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s}\) such that : \(a_n\neq 0\Longrightarrow \Omega(n)\leq d\), where \(\Omega(n)\) denotes the number of prime divisors of \(n\) counted with their multiplicity. Let \(\alpha>0\) be such that \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty |a_n|n^{\frac{1}{2d}-\frac{1}{2}}(\log n)^\alpha<\infty \) for each \(f(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s}\in {\mathcal H}^\infty(d)\). The authors prove that \(\alpha\leq \frac{d-1}{2}\). Let \(N\geq 1\), \({\mathcal P}_N\) the set of Dirichlet polynomials \(P(s)=\sum_{n=1}^Na_n n^{-s}\), \(\parallel P \parallel_W=\sum_{n=1}^N |a_n|\) the Wiener norm of \(P\), \(\Lambda_N=\{\log 1,\ldots,\log N\} \), \(S(\Lambda_N)=\sup_{P\in{\mathcal P}_N}\frac{\parallel P \parallel_W}{\parallel P \parallel_\infty}\). The authors prove that there exists a numerical constant \(a>0\) such that \[ S(\Lambda_N)\geq a\sqrt{N}\exp(-(1+o(1))\lambda(N))\quad\text{as}\;N\to\infty, \] where \(\lambda(x)=\sqrt{\log x \log\log x}\) for \(x\gg 0\).
