Abstract

I will describe joint work with the late Bob Warner. We knew that \(H^1(R)\) gave better results for singular integrals than \(L^1(R)\); our question was: Would the same be true for spectral synthesis?. We extend the Beurling–Pollard argument to give sufficient conditions for spectral synthesis in \(H^1(R)\). We motivate and construct a class of Q-scets which satisfy the boundary and union property of synthesis, and give examples of Q-sets. To some extent the technical parts of the argument extend to d-dimensional Euclidean spaces for \(d \ge 1\).
