Consider Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} with the Lebesgue measure. Denote by Ff(ξ)=∫Rne−2iπx⋅ξf(x)dx\mathcal{F} f(\xi)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}} e^{-2 i \pi x \cdot \xi} f(x) d x the Fourier transform of f∈L1(Rn)f \in L^{1}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) and by f^\hat{f} the Fourier-Plancherel transform of f∈L2(Rn)f \in L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right). Let χR(ξ):=(1−∣ξ∣R)χ∣ξ∣⩽R\chi_{R}(\xi):=\left(1-\frac{|\xi|}{R}\right) \chi_{|\xi| \leqslant R} for R>0R>0 and define for s∈R+s \in \mathbb{R}_{+}

Hs(Rn):={f∈L2(Rn)∣(1+∣⋅∣2)s/2f^(⋅)∈L2(Rn)}H^{s}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right):=\left\{f \in L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) \mid\left(1+|\cdot|^{2}\right)^{s / 2} \hat{f}(\cdot) \in L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right)\right\}

(i) Prove that Hs(Rn)H^{s}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) is a vector subspace of L2(Rn)L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right), and is a Hilbert space for the inner product ⟨f,g⟩:=∫Rn(1+∣ξ∣2)sf^(ξ)g^(ξ)‾dξ\langle f, g\rangle:=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\left(1+|\xi|^{2}\right)^{s} \hat{f}(\xi) \overline{\hat{g}(\xi)} d \xi, where zˉ\bar{z} denotes the complex conjugate of z∈Cz \in \mathbb{C}.

(ii) Construct a function f∈Hs(R),s∈(0,1/2)f \in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}), s \in(0,1 / 2), that is not almost everywhere equal to a continuous function.

(iii) For f∈L1(Rn)f \in L^{1}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right), prove that FR:x↦∫RnFf(ξ)χR(ξ)e2iπx⋅ξdξF_{R}: x \mapsto \int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}} \mathcal{F} f(\xi) \chi_{R}(\xi) e^{2 i \pi x \cdot \xi} d \xi is a well-defined function and that FR∈L1(Rn)F_{R} \in L^{1}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) converges to ff in L1(Rn)L^{1}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) as R→+∞R \rightarrow+\infty.

[Hint: Prove that FR=KR∗fF_{R}=K_{R} * f where KRK_{R} is an approximation of the unit as R→+∞.]R \rightarrow+\infty .]

(iv) Deduce that if f∈L1(Rn)f \in L^{1}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) and (1+∣⋅∣2)s/2Ff(⋅)∈L2(Rn)\left(1+|\cdot|^{2}\right)^{s / 2} \mathcal{F} f(\cdot) \in L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) then f∈Hs(Rn)f \in H^{s}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right).

[Hint: Prove that: (1) there is a sequence Rk→+∞R_{k} \rightarrow+\infty such that KRk∗fK_{R_{k}} * f converges to ff almost everywhere; (2) KR∗fK_{R} * f is uniformly bounded in L2(Rn)L^{2}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) as R→+∞R \rightarrow+\infty.]
