On the determinacy problem for measures (Q896260)

The authors consider some determinacy problem in the moment problem where the polynomials are replaced by more general entire functions. If \(A\) and \(B\) are two closed subsets of \(\mathbb{R}\), let \(\mathcal{M}_a(A,B)\) be the class of all finite real measures \(\sigma\) with a spectral gap \([-a,a]\) such that the singular positive (resp. negative) part of \(\sigma\) is contained in \(A\) (resp. \(B\)). The main result states that for all closed sets \(A,B\subseteq\mathbb{R}\), \[ \sup\big\{a>0:\mathcal{M}_a(A,B)\neq\{0\}\big\} \] coincides with \[ \pi\sup\big\{d:\exists \text{ a \(d\)-uniform sequence }(\lambda_{n})_n \text{ such that }\{\lambda_{2n}\}_n\subseteq A, \{\lambda_{2n+1}\}_n\subseteq B\}. \] This result is applied to extend classical gap theorems and other related results.
