# Wednesday, May 12 :::{.remark} Take any $f(\theta)$ which is real-valued on $[0, 2\pi]$ and $2\pi\dash$periodic, we can then write \[ f(\theta) = \sum_{k\in \ZZ} c_n e^{in \theta} .\] If $f$ is piecewise $C^1$, then \[ c_n = \frac 1 {2\pi} \int_0^\pi f(\theta) e^{-i n \theta} ~d\theta ,\] and this gives the Fourier series of $f$. Suppose $f$ is holomorphic in $\Omega \ni z_0$, then $$ f$(z) = f(z_0 + re^{i\theta}) = \sum a_n (z-z_0)^n = \sum a_n r^n e^{in\theta} $$ where $$ a_n &= \frac {f^{(n)}(z_0)} {n!} \\ &= \frac 1 {2\pi i} \int_{\bd D_r(z_0)} \frac{f(z)}{(z-z_0)^{n+1}} ~dz \\ &= \frac{1}{2\pi r^n} \int_0^{2\pi} f(z_0 + re^{i\theta}) e^{-i n \theta} ~d\theta \\ &= \frac{c^n}{r^n} \quad n \geq 0 $$ Then $c_n = a_n r^n$ when $n\geq 0$ and 0 otherwise. Similarly, $c_{-n} = 0$ by just writing $$ c_{-n} &= \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} f(\theta) e^{in\theta} \\ &= \frac{r^n}{2\pi i} \int_{\bd D_r(z_0)} f(z) (z-z_0)^{n-1} ~dz \\ &= 0 \quad n\geq 1 $$ ::: :::{.remark} Recall that \[ L^2 = \theset{f \suchthat \int_0^{2\pi} \abs{f}^2 < \infty} ,\] and we define $H^2$ is the $F$ that are holomorphic in $D_1$ where $f(\theta) = F(e^{i\theta})$. Since $H^2 \subset L^2$, there is a projection operator $P: L^2 \to H^2$ called the **Hilbert transform**. ::: :::{.example title="?"} $f(\theta) = e^{-\theta}$, then this is in $L^2$ but not $H^2$. ::: :::{.remark} For $f$ analytic, the projection is given by $f(\theta) = \sum_{n\in \ZZ} a_n z^n \mapsvia{P} \sum_{n\geq 0} a_n z^n$. ::: :::{.theorem title="Important, Carleson, 60s"} \[ f(\theta) \in L^2 \implies \sum_{\abs n < N} c_n e^{in\theta} \converges{N\to\infty}\too f(\theta) \quad \ae \] See also Lusin's conjecture, 1920s. ::: :::{.remark} This is readable with graduate-level background! ::: Question: If $f$ is continuous, does the Fourier series converge? Early 1900s, a continuous function with one point where this doesn't hold. Note that this recovers the MVT: $$ f(z_0) = a_0 = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} f(z_0 + re^{i\theta}) ~d\theta $$ ## Fourier Transform Recall that for any $f\in L^1(\RR)$ we define $$ \hat f(\xi) = \int_\RR f(x) e^{-2\pi i \cdot \xi} ~dx $$ Note that \[ \abs{\hat f(\xi)} \leq \int_\RR \abs{f(x)}~dx \implies \norm{Ff} \leq \norm{f}_1 \text{ uniformly} ,\] and $\hat f$ is also uniformly continuous. :::{.remark} Recall the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma: \[ \lim_{\abs \xi \to \infty} \abs{\hat f(\xi)} = 0 .\] ::: :::{.definition title="Schwarz space"} Define the Schwarz space \[ S = \theset{f\in C^\infty \suchthat \sup \abs{x^a \qty{\dd{}{x}}^b f } < \infty} .\] ::: :::{.definition title="Tempered distribution"} Adding a norm makes this a topological vector space, and we can define **tempered distributions** as the elements of $S\dual$. ::: :::{.remark} Note that polynomials are in $S\dual$, since we can send $p(x) \to \ell_p: f\mapsto \int f p$. Similarly, $L^1 \subset S\dual$ by the same argument. Note that \[ \int \hat{g} f = \int g \hat{f} ,\] and since polynomials aren't in $L^1$ (so the usual formula doesn't converge), we define the transform by this property. Note that $e^{x^2} \not\in S$, but $e^{-x^2/2}$. This definition of the Fourier transform yields an isometry on $S$ and extends to a linear operator on $S\dual$ naturally. ::: :::{.remark} Next time: proving Fourier inversion formula using the Cauchy Integral formula, namely $$ f(x) = \int_\RR \hat f(\xi) e^{2\pi i x \cdot \xi} = \frac 1 {2\pi i} \int \frac{f(z)}{z-x} $$ :::
