Thomas Beretti, Luca Gennaioli

Short summary

A new weighted Plancherel identity for BV functions is derived, linking their Fourier transform to their L2-jump product, which leads to a characterization of sets of finite perimeter via their Fourier transform.

Abstract

This paper investigates the relation between the Fourier transform of BV (bounded variation) functions and their jump sets. We introduce the notion of L 2 -jump product and obtain a weighted Plancherel identity for BV functions. As a corollary, we get a characterization of sets of finite perimeter in terms of their Fourier transform. Moreover, we sharpen a result of Herz on the set-theoretic derivative of the Fourier transform of characteristic functions of sets. Last, we obtain sharp bounds on the quadratic discrepancy of BV functions, and as a consequence, we generalize the classic estimates of Beck and Montgomery.
