Weighted Plancherel and L¹ bounds for inverse Fourier transforms #
Let V be a finite-dimensional real inner product space of dimension n and σ a Schwartz
function on V with values in a complex Hilbert space. Differentiating σ along m multiplies
its inverse Fourier transform by -2πi ⟪x, m⟫, so Plancherel's theorem gives the weighted
Plancherel identity
(2π) ^ (2N) ∫ ⟪x, m⟫ ^ (2N) ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖² dx = ‖∂_m^N σ‖²_{L²}.
Summing it along an orthonormal basis b controls ∫ ‖x‖ ^ (2N) ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖². When 2N > n, the
weight ‖x‖ ^ (-2N) is integrable away from the origin, and the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality turns
the weighted L² bound into an L¹ bound on the tail:
∫_{‖x‖ > R} ‖𝓕⁻ σ x‖ dx ≤ C R ^ (n/2 - N) (∑ᵢ ‖∂_{bᵢ}^N σ‖²_{L²}) ^ (1/2).
On the ball ‖x‖ ≤ R, Cauchy–Schwarz and Plancherel bound the integral by C R ^ (n/2) ‖σ‖_{L²}.
Together these bound the L¹ norm of the kernel 𝓕⁻ σ by the L² norms of σ and of its
derivatives of order N > n/2. This is a quantitative form, for Schwartz functions, of
Bernstein's theorem on absolutely convergent Fourier integrals.
These are the estimates on the kernel of a single dyadic piece in the proof of the
Mihlin–Hörmander multiplier theorem. If the symbol σ is supported where ‖ξ‖ ~ 2ʲ, its kernel
𝓕⁻ σ is controlled by taking R = 2⁻ʲ. The translation estimate
∫ ‖𝓕⁻ σ (x + h) - 𝓕⁻ σ x‖ ≤ 2π ∫ ‖𝓕⁻ (⟪·, h⟫ σ)‖ reduces the smoothness of the kernel to the
same L¹ bound for the symbol ⟪ξ, h⟫ σ(ξ).
