How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Fourier transform decay of real Hp elements

Statement

Assume Countable Choice. Let n≥1, 0<p≤1, fix the admissible kernel φ defining Hp, and set s=⌊n(1/p−1)⌋. Fix an integer K≥n/p and the associated reproducing pair of the atomic decomposition, and an admissible grand-maximal order N≥max⁡{N0(n,p,φ),n+s+1}. There is C=C(n,p,N,K,φ)<∞ such that every f∈Hp(Rn) has a Fourier transform that is a continuous function on Rn∖{0} and satisfies ∣f^(ξ)∣≤C∥f∥Hp∣ξ∣n(1/p−1),ξ≠0, and moreover lim⁡ξ→0∣f^(ξ)∣∣ξ∣n(1/p−1)=0. Here f^ is the tempered-distribution Fourier transform (Fourier transform of a tempered distribution), identified with a continuous function off the origin by the estimate.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Countable Choice, n≥1, 0<p≤1, the fixed kernel φ, reproducing order K and order N, s=⌊n(1/p−1)⌋, f∈Hp, and multi-indices as in Ck maps and multi-index derivative notation in Euclidean space.

[F1]

Atomic characterisation: f=∑jλjaj in S′ with (p,∞,s)-atoms aj and (λj)∈ℓp; the representation may be chosen with ∑j∣λj∣≤Cn,p,N,K,φ∥f∥Hp (Atomic characterisation of real Hp for 0<p≤1).

[F2]

For an L1 atom the distributional transform agrees with the integral transform: the absolute double integral against a Schwartz test χ is bounded by ∥a∥1∥χ∥1, so Fubini identifies ⟨a,χ^⟩ with ∫a^χ (Fubini's theorem for L^1 functions on a sigma-finite product). Fourier transform is continuous on S′: if gJ→g in S′ then gJ^→g^ in S′ (Fourier transform of a tempered distribution).

[F3]

For an atom a supported in a cube Q with centre cQ, ∥a∥L∞≤∣Q∣−1/p and moments vanishing through order s (Hp atoms with a prescribed moment order), the Taylor expansion of x↦e−2πix⋅ξ about cQ through order s gives ∣a^(ξ)∣≤Cmin⁡(∣Q∣1−1/p,∣ξ∣s+1∣Q∣1−1/p+(s+1)/n)(ξ≠0), with C=C(n,s): the first bound is ∥a∥1≤∥a∥∞∣Q∣≤∣Q∣1−1/p, and the second uses the vanishing moments, the Taylor remainder bound ∣∂βe−2πix⋅ξ∣≤(2π∣ξ∣)∣β∣ and ∫Q∣x−cQ∣s+1dx≤Cℓ(Q)s+1+n. Consequently ∣a^(ξ)∣≤C′∣ξ∣n(1/p−1) for ξ≠0 (split at ∣ξ∣ℓ(Q)≍1 and use s+1>n(1/p−1)) and ∣a^(ξ)∣/∣ξ∣n(1/p−1)→0 as ξ→0 for each fixed atom.

1.1F1F2F3algebra

Continuity and decay off the origin. Let f=∑jλjaj be the representation of [F1]. By [F2], f^=∑jλjaj^ in S′; since each aj^ is a continuous function (the atoms are integrable) and, by [F3], ∣λjaj^(ξ)∣≤C∣λj∣∣ξ∣n(1/p−1) for ξ≠0, the numerical series ∑jλjaj^ converges absolutely and locally uniformly on Rn∖{0}. Its sum is therefore a continuous function off the origin and agrees with f^ there as a distribution. There is no additional distribution supported at the origin: define the sum to be zero there. The uniform atom bound holds globally after this assignment, and ∣ξ∣n(1/p−1)∣χ(ξ)∣ is integrable for every Schwartz test χ. Dominated convergence therefore identifies the regular distribution of this sum with the distributional limit of the transformed partial sums on all of Rn; this identifies f^ with that continuous function on Rn∖{0} and gives ∣f^(ξ)∣≤C(∑j∣λj∣)∣ξ∣n(1/p−1)≤C′∥f∥Hp∣ξ∣n(1/p−1).

2.1step 1.1F1F3algebra

The little-o statement. Fix η>0. Choose J so large that C∑j>J∣λj∣<η/2, possible because (λj)∈ℓp⊆ℓ1; then by [F3] the tail satisfies ∑j>J∣λj∣∣aj^(ξ)∣≤(η/2)∣ξ∣n(1/p−1) for every ξ≠0. The finite sum ∑j≤Jλjaj^ is a finite combination of continuous functions each vanishing faster than ∣ξ∣n(1/p−1) at the origin, so there is δ>0 with ∣∑j≤Jλjaj^(ξ)∣<(η/2)∣ξ∣n(1/p−1) for 0<∣ξ∣<δ. Hence ∣f^(ξ)∣≤η∣ξ∣n(1/p−1) for 0<∣ξ∣<δ, which is the stated little-o relation since η>0 was arbitrary.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1∎

Conclusion. Steps 1.1 and 2.1 give the identification of f^ with a continuous function off the origin, the decay estimate and the little-o refinement. This proves the theorem.
