Bücher von Elijah Liflyand

This book sketches a path for newcomers into the theory of harmonic analysis on the real line. It presents a collection of both basic, well-known and some less known results that may serve as a background for future research around this topic.

Moreover, it brings to light new interrelations between these functions and the real Hardy space and, correspondingly, between the Fourier transform and the Hilbert transform. In turn, the second part examines the Fourier transforms of multivariate functions with bounded Hardy variation.

The Plancherel formula says that the L^2 norm of the function is equal to the L^2 norm of its Fourier transform. This implies that at least on average, the Fourier transform of an L^2 function decays at infinity. This book is dedicated to the study of the rate of this decay under various assumptions and circumstances, far beyond the original L^2 setting. Analytic and geometric properties of the underlying functions interact in a seamless symbiosis which underlines the wide range influences and applications of the concepts under consideration.
