Convergence and absolute convergence of Fourier and trigonometric series (42A20)

Abstract: This article studies the rearrangement problem for Fourier series introduced by P.L. Ulyanov, who conjectured that every continuous function on the torus admits a rearrangement of its Fourier coefficients such that the rearranged partial sums of the Fourier series converge uniformly to the function. The main theorem here gives several new equivalences to this conjecture in terms of the convergence of the rearranged Fourier series in the strong (equivalently in this case, weak) operator topologies on

B (L_{2} (T))

. Additionally, a new framework for further investigation is introduced by considering convergence for subspaces of

L_{2}

, which leads to many methods for attempting to prove or disprove Ulyanov's conjecture. In this framework, we provide characterizations of unconditional convergence of the Fourier series in the SOT and WOT. These considerations also give rise to some interesting questions regarding weaker versions of the rearrangement problem. Along the way, we consider some interesting questions related to the classical theory of trigonometric polynomials. All of the results here admit natural extensions to arbitrary dimensions.

Review text

In this paper, the authors obtain seven equivalent conditions to Ulyanov's problem. The authors also provide some relaxations of Ulyanov's problem. The author also provide characterization results of the subspaces \({\mathcal{V}}_{S_{\infty}}\) and \({\mathcal{W}}_{S_{\infty}}\) and show that the Fourier series of every continuous function converges unconditionally in weak operator topology on the subspace \(L_{4}(\mathbb{T})\). Moreover, the authors extend the previous results of this paper to higher dimensions.
