The Fourier transform of an absolutely integrable function $\psi: \R \to \C$ is defined by the formula | ||
$$ \hat \psi(u) := \int_\R e(-tu) \psi(t)\ dt$$ | ||
where $e(\theta) := e^{2\pi i \theta}$. | ||
Let $f: \N \to \C$ be an arithmetic function such that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{|f(n)|}{n^\sigma} < \infty$ for all $\sigma>1$. Then the Dirichlet series | ||
$$ F(s) := \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^s}$$ | ||
is absolutely convergent for $\sigma>1$. | ||
\begin{lemma}[First Fourier identity]\label{first-fourier} If $\psi: \R \to \C$ is continuous and compactly supported and $x > 0$, then for any $\sigma>1$ | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^\sigma} \hat \psi( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ) = \int_\R F(\sigma + it) \psi(t) x^{it}\ dt.$$ | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} By the definition of the Fourier transform, the left-hand side expands as | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \int_\R \frac{f(n)}{n^\sigma} \psi(t) e( - \frac{1}{2\pi} t \log \frac{n}{x})\ dt$$ | ||
while the right-hand side expands as | ||
$$ \int_\R \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^{\sigma+it}} \psi(t) x^{it}\ dt.$$ | ||
Since | ||
$$\frac{f(n)}{n^\sigma} \psi(t) e( - \frac{1}{2\pi} t \log \frac{n}{x}) = \frac{f(n)}{n^{\sigma+it}} \psi(t) x^{it}$$ | ||
the claim then follows from Fubini's theorem. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{lemma}[Second Fourier identity]\label{second-fourier} If $\psi: \R \to \C$ is continuous and compactly supported and $x > 0$, then for any $\sigma>1$ | ||
$$ \int_{-\log x}^\infty e^{-u(\sigma-1)} \hat \psi(\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du = x^{\sigma - 1} \int_\R \frac{1}{\sigma+it-1} \psi(t) x^{it}\ dt.$$ | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{first-fourier} | ||
The left-hand side expands as | ||
$$ \int_{-\log x}^\infty \int_\R e^{-u(\sigma-1)} \psi(t) e(-\frac{tu}{2\pi})\ dt du = x^{\sigma - 1} \int_\R \frac{1}{\sigma+it-1} \psi(t) x^{it}\ dt$$ | ||
so by Fubini's theorem it suffices to verify the identity | ||
$$ \int_{-\log x}^\infty \int_\R e^{-u(\sigma-1)} e(-\frac{tu}{2\pi})\ du = x^{\sigma - 1} \frac{1}{\sigma+it-1} x^{it}$$ | ||
which is a routine calculation. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
Now let $A \in \C$, and suppose that there is a continuous function $G(s)$ defined on $\mathrm{Re} s \geq 1$ such that $G(s) = F(s) - \frac{A}{s-1}$ whenever $\mathrm{Re} s > 1$. We also make the Chebyshev-type hypothesis | ||
\begin{equation}\label{cheby} | ||
\sum_{n \leq x} |f(n)| \ll x | ||
\end{equation} | ||
for all $x \geq 1$ (this hypothesis is not strictly necessary, but simplifies the arguments and can be obtained fairly easily in applications). | ||
\begin{lemma}[Decay bounds]\label{decay} If $\psi:\R \to \C$ is $C^2$ and obeys the bounds | ||
$$ |\psi(t)|, |\psi''(t)| \leq A / (1 + |t|^2)$$ | ||
for all $t \in \R$, then | ||
$$ |\hat \psi(u)| \leq C A / (1+|u|^2)$$ | ||
for all $u \in \R$, where $C$ is an absolute constant. | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} This follows from a standard integration by parts argument. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{lemma}[Limiting Fourier identity]\label{limiting} If $\psi: \R \to \C$ is $C^2$ and compactly supported and $x \geq 1$, then | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n} \hat \psi( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ) - A \int_{-\log x}^\infty \hat \psi(\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du = \int_\R G(1+it) \psi(t) x^{it}\ dt.$$ | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{first-fourier,second-fourier,decay} | ||
By the preceding two lemmas, we know that for any $\sigma>1$, we have | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n^\sigma} \hat \psi( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ) - A x^{1-\sigma} \int_{-\log x}^\infty e^{-u(\sigma-1)} \hat \psi(\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du = \int_\R G(\sigma+it) \psi(t) x^{it}\ dt.$$ | ||
Now take limits as $\sigma \to 1$ using dominated convergence together with \eqref{cheby} and Lemma \ref{decay} to obtain the result. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{corollary}\label{limiting-cor} With the hypotheses as above, we have | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n} \hat \psi( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ) = A \int_{-\infty}^\infty \hat \psi(\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du + o(1)$$ | ||
as $x \to \infty$. | ||
\end{corollary} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{limiting} | ||
Immediate from the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma, and also noting that $\int_{-\infty}^{-\log x} \hat \psi(\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du = o(1)$. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{lemma}\label{schwarz-id} The previous corollary also holds for functions $\psi$ that are assumed to be in the Schwartz class, as opposed to being $C^2$ and compactly supported. | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{limiting-cor} | ||
For any $R>1$, one can use a smooth cutoff function to write $\psi = \psi_{\leq R} + \psi_{>R}$, where $\psi_{\leq R}$ is $C^2$ (in fact smooth) and compactly supported (on $[-R,R]$), and $\psi_{>R}$ obeys bounds of the form | ||
$$ |\psi_{>R}(t)|, |\psi''_{>R}(t)| \ll R^{-1} / (1 + |t|^2) $$ | ||
where the implied constants depend on $\psi$. By Lemma \ref{decay} we then have | ||
$$ \hat \psi_{>R}(u) \ll R^{-1} / (1+|u|^2).$$ | ||
Using this and \eqref{cheby} one can show that | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n} \hat \psi_{>R}( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ), A \int_{-\infty}^\infty \hat \psi_{>R} (\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du \ll R^{-1} $$ | ||
(with implied constants also depending on $A$), while from Lemma \ref{limiting-cor} one has | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n} \hat \psi_{\leq R}( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ) = A \int_{-\infty}^\infty \hat \psi_{\leq R} (\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du + o(1).$$ | ||
Combining the two estimates and letting $R$ be large, we obtain the claim. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{lemma}\label{bij} The Fourier transform is a bijection on the Schwartz class. | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} This is a standard result in Fourier analysis. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{corollary} If $\Psi: (0,\infty) \to \C$ is smooth and compactly supported away from the origin, then, then | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n) \Psi( \frac{n}{x} ) = A x \int_0^\infty \Psi(y)\ dy + o(x)$$ | ||
as $u \to \infty$. | ||
\end{corollary} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{bij,schwarz-id} | ||
By Lemma \ref{bij}, we can write | ||
$$ y \Psi(y) = \hat \psi( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log y )$$ | ||
for all $y>0$ and some Schwartz function $\psi$. Making this substitution, the claim is then equivalent after standard manipulations to | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{f(n)}{n} \hat \psi( \frac{1}{2\pi} \log \frac{n}{x} ) = A \int_{-\infty}^\infty \hat \psi(\frac{u}{2\pi})\ du + o(1)$$ | ||
and the claim follows from Lemma \ref{schwarz-id}. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{lemma}[Smooth Urysohn lemma]\label{smooth-ury} If $I$ is a closed interval contained in an open interval $J$, then there exists a smooth function $\Psi: \R \to \R$ with $1_I \leq \Psi \leq 1_J$. | ||
\end{lemma} | ||
\begin{proof} A standard analysis lemma, which can be proven by convolving $1_K$ with a smooth approximation to the identity for some interval $K$ between $I$ and $J$. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
Now we add the hypothesis that $f(n) \geq 0$ for all $n$. | ||
\begin{proposition} | ||
\label{prop:smooth-ury} | ||
For any closed interval $I \subset (0,+\infty)$, we have | ||
$$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty f(n) 1_I( \frac{n}{x} ) = A x |I| + o(x).$$ | ||
\end{proposition} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{smooth-ury} | ||
Use Lemma \ref{smooth-ury} to bound $1_I$ above and below by smooth compactly supported functions whose integral is close to the measure of $|I|$, and use the non-negativity of $f$. | ||
\end{proof} | ||
\begin{corollary} We have | ||
$$ \sum_{n\leq x} f(n) = A x |I| + o(x).$$ | ||
\end{corollary} | ||
\begin{proof} | ||
\uses{prop:smooth-ury} | ||
Apply the preceding proposition with $I = [\varepsilon,1]$ and then send $\varepsilon$ to zero (using \eqref{cheby} to control the error). | ||
\end{proof} | ||
