Fourier transformation of bump functions












0












$begingroup$


Suppose we have $Omegasubset mathbb{R} $ open and we are looking at the space $ C_c^infty(Omega):={varphiin C^infty(Omega) | text{supp($varphi$) is a compact subset of $Omega$}} $. Now let $varphiin C_c^infty(Omega)$. Is the Fouriertransformation $(mathcal{F}varphi)(xi) $ in general an $L^1 $-function?

          Any $f in C^{infty}_c(Omega)$ can be completed to be $f in C^{infty}_c(mathbb R)$ by just setting it to zero outside of $Omega$, so the Fourier transform makes sense. Then $C^{infty}_c(mathbb R)$ is a subset of a more general space of Schwartz functions. This class of functions has the nice property that the Fourier transform of a Schwartz function is a Schwartz function. In particular all Schwartz functions are $L^1$ so the result you want does hold.



          If you want to prove this yourself, a hint is that the Fourier transform exchanges decay and regularity. So to prove $mathcal F f in L^1$, you need to use smoothness of $f$ to show $mathcal Ff$ has sufficient decay.
