Generic measures with slowly decaying Fourier coefficients

Abstract

We investigate threshold phenomena in weighted ${\ell }^2$-spaces and characterize the critical regimes where elements with either small support or maximally bad range can be constructed. Our results are shown to be optimal in several respects, and our proofs principally rely on techniques involving sparse Fourier spectrum. We further show that these seemingly pathological constructions are actually generic from certain categorical perspectives.
