Inversion problem in measure and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras (Q2286259)

The following two important problems were investigated by N. Nikolski: Let \(G\) be a locally compact abelian group, and let \(\mu\) be a complex-valued Borel regular measure on \(G\) such that \(\|\mu\|\leq 1\) and \(\inf_{\gamma\in \widehat{G}} |\widehat{\mu}(\gamma)|=\delta >0\). What is the minimal value \(\delta_0>0\) such that for any \(\delta>\delta_0\) the measure \(\mu\) is automatically invertible? What can be said about the norm of the inverse? In the article the authors completely solve the first problem by showing that \(\delta_0=\tfrac{1}{2}\). In some important partial cases the authors obtain answers also to the second problem, which are considerable improvements of the existent estimations. Also they consider analogous problems for Fourier-Stieltjes algebras.
