Spectral Factorization and Entire Functions
arXiv:1906.06087
Abstract
The Fejér-Riesz spectral factorization lemma, which represents a nonnegative trigonometric polynomial as the squared modulus of a trigonometric polynomial, was extended by Ahiezer to factorize certain entire functions and by Helson and Lowdenslager to factorize certain functions on compact connected abelian groups whose Pontryagin duals are equipped with a linear order. This paper relates these factorizations for archimedian orders using the theory of almost periodic functions.
