AbstractA tempered distribution on ℝ whose Fourier transform is supported in an interval [−Ω,Ω], where Ω>0, can be characterized by the behaviour of its successive derivatives. On the other hand, a tempered distribution on ℝ whose Fourier transform vanishes in an interval (−Ω,Ω), where Ω>0, can be characterized by the behaviour of a particular sequence of successive antiderivatives. Similar considerations apply to general convolution operators acting on J′(ℝn) and yield characterizations for tempered distributions having their Fourier transforms supported in sets of the form or , where and Ω>0.

A classical Fock space consists of functions of the form,Φ↔(ϕ0,ϕ1,…,ϕq,…),whereϕ0∈Candϕq∈L2(R3q),q≥1. We will replace theϕq,q≥1withq-symmetric rapid descent test functions within tempered distribution theory. This space is a natural generalization of a classical Fock space as seen by expanding functionals having generalized Taylor series. The particular coefficients of such series are multilinear functionals having tempered distributions as their domain. The Fourier transform will be introduced into this setting. A theorem will be proven relating the convergence of the transform to the parameter,s, which sweeps out a scale of generalized Fock spaces.

A fundamental problem in Fourier analysis is to characterize the behaviour of a function (or distribution) whose Fourier transform vanishes in some particular set. Of course, this is, in general, a very difficult question and little seems to be known, except in some special cases. For example, a theorem of Paley-Wiener (Theorem XII in [6]) characterizes exactly the behaviour of the modulus of a function in L2(R) whose Fourier transform vanishes on a half-line.

In previous studies we used Laurent Schwartz’ theory of distributions to rigorously introduce discretizations and periodizations on tempered distributions. These results are now used in this study to derive a validity statement for four interlinking formulas. They are variants of Poisson’s Summation Formula and connect four commonly defined Fourier transforms to one another, the integral Fourier transform, the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT), the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and the integral Fourier transform for periodic functions—used to analyze Fourier series. We prove that under certain conditions, these four Fourier transforms become particular cases of the Fourier transform in the tempered distributions sense. We first derive four interlinking formulas from four definitions of the Fourier transform pure symbolically. Then, using our previous results, we specify three conditions for the validity of these formulas in the tempered distributions sense.
