On Spectral Analysis and Spectral Synthesis in the Space of Tempered Functions on Discrete Abelian Groups

Abstract

We consider some problems of spectral analysis and spectral synthesis in the topological vector space $${{\mathcal {M}}}(G)$$ of tempered functions on a discrete Abelian group G. It is proved that spectral analysis holds in the space $${{\mathcal {M}}}(G)$$ on every Abelian group G, that is, every nonzero closed linear translation invariant subspace of $${{\mathcal {M}}}(G)$$ contains an exponential. For any finitely generated Abelian group G it is proved, that spectral synthesis holds in $${{\mathcal {M}}}(G)$$ , that is, every closed linear translation invariant subspace $${{\mathscr {H}}}$$ of $${{\mathcal {M}}}(G)$$ coincides with the closed linear span of all exponential monomials belonging to $${{\mathscr {H}}}$$ . For any Abelian group G with infinite torsion free rank it is proved that spectral synthesis fails to hold in the space $${{\mathcal {M}}}(G)$$ .
