On series of translates of positive functions. III

Abstract: Suppose

L a m b d a

is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that

L a m b d a

is of type 1 if the series

s (x) = s u m_{l a m b d a i n L a m b d a} f (x + l a m b d a)

satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative measurable

f : m a t h b b R o [0, + i n f t y)

either the convergence set

C (f, L a m b d a) = x : s (x) < + i n f t y = m a t h b b R

modulo sets of Lebesgue zero, or its complement the divergence set

D (f, L a m b d a) = x : s (x) = + i n f t y = m a t h b b R

modulo sets of measure zero. If

L a m b d a

is not of type 1 we say that

L a m b d a

is of type 2. In this paper we show that there is a universal

L a m b d a

with gaps monotone decreasingly converging to zero such that for any open subset

G s u b s e t m a t h b b R

one can find a characteristic function

f_{G}

such that

G s u b s e t D (f_{G}, L a m b d a)

and

C (f_{G}, L a m b d a) = m a t h b b R s e t m i n u s G

modulo sets of measure zero. We also consider the question whether

C (f, L a m b d a)

can contain non-degenerate intervals for continuous functions when

D (f, L a m b d a)

is of positive measure. The above results answer some questions raised in a paper of Z. Buczolich, J-P. Kahane, and D. Mauldin.
