Exponential sums with coefficients 0 or 1 and concentrated L p norms
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 57 (2007) no. 5, pp. 1377-1404.

A sum of exponentials of the form f(x)=exp2πiN 1 x+exp2πiN 2 x++exp2πiN m x, where the N k are distinct integers is called an idempotent trigonometric polynomial (because the convolution of f with itself is f) or, simply, an idempotent. We show that for every p>1, and every set E of the torus 𝕋=/ with |E|>0, there are idempotents concentrated on E in the L p sense. More precisely, for each p>1, there is an explicitly calculated constant C p >0 so that for each E with |E|>0 and ϵ>0 one can find an idempotent f such that the ratio E |f| p / 𝕋 |f| p 1/p is greater than C p -ϵ. This is in fact a lower bound result and, though not optimal, it is close to the best that our method gives. We also give both heuristic and computational evidence for the still open problem of whether the L p concentration phenomenon fails to occur when p=1.

Une somme d’exponentielles de la forme f(x)=exp2πiN 1 x+exp2πiN 2 x+···+exp2πiN m x, où les N k sont des entiers distincts, est appelée un polynôme trigonométrique idempotent (car f*f=f) ou, simplement, un idempotent. Nous prouvons que pour tout réel p>1, et tout E𝕋=/ avec |E|>0, il existe des idempotents concentrés sur E au sens de la norme L p . Plus précisément, pour tout p>1, nous calculons explicitement une constante C p >0 telle que pour tout E avec |E|>0, et tout réel ϵ>0, on puisse construire un idempotent f tel que le quotient E |f| p / 𝕋 |f| p 1/p soit supérieur à C p -ϵ. Ceci est en fait un théorème de minoration qui, bien que non optimal, est proche du meilleur résultat que notre méthode puisse fournir. Nous présentons également des considérations heuristiques et aussi numériques concernant le problème (toujours ouvert) de savoir si le phénomène de concentration L p a lieu ou non pour p=1.
