The Fourier transform of $ \begin{cases} 1 & |x|<1\\ 0 & else \end{cases} $ where $x \in \mathbb R^3$ is an elementary function? [duplicate]
Consider the following function in $\mathbb{R}^3$ $$ \begin{cases} 1 & |x|<1\\ 0 & \text{else} \end{cases}$$ How can we calculate its Fourier transform (again, in $\mathbb{R}^3$). I tried ...

A guess related to Lebesgue differentiation theorem
When I read Lebesgue differentiation theorem, I suddenly have the following conjecture, which I can't prove or find a counterexample. Let $f\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$. If $$ \int_{B_r(...

Charcteristic function not in a fractional Sobolev space
I am trying to show that for any Lebesgue measurable set of finite positive measure $E$, the characteristic function $\chi_E$ is not in $H^{\frac{1}{2}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. I found somewhere that it would ...

Integral (Fourier transform) of Heaviside radial function in 3D
I am trying to calculate the following integral: $ \int \frac{d k_x d k_y d k_z}{(2 \pi)^3} \left[ \exp( - \frac{(k_x^2 + k_y^2 + k_z^2) \sigma^2}{2}) + \frac{1}{2} H(\sqrt{k_x^2 + k_y^2 + k_z^2} - ...

Fourier transform of the top-hat filter
In the context of a cosmology text, I have found the following function, called a spatial top-hat filter: $$W_{TH,R}(r)=\dfrac{3\theta(R-r)}{4\pi R^3}$$ It is claimed that this leads to: $$W_{TH,R}(r)=...

Integrate over an $n$ ball
Consider the integral $$I = \int_{||\mathbf{r}|| < d} f(x_n)\ \mathrm{d}x_1 \cdots \mathrm{d}x_n,$$ where $\mathbf{r} = (x_1, \dots, x_n)^\top$. Since $f$ only depends on $x_n$, the integral can be ...

3D Sphericall Symmetric Analytical Convolution
I am trying to analytically convolve two spherically symmetric functions in 3D spherical coordinates, a 3D Gaussian and a "box" (really a radial step function). Numerical convolution yields ...

Estimate involving almost orthogonality
Let $\{x_k\}$ be a $\frac{1}{R}$-separated set of points on $S^{d-1}$. Then $$ \left\|\sum_ka_ke^{ix_k\cdot\xi}\right\|_{L^2\left(B\left(0,R\right)\right)}\lesssim R^{d/2} \left(\sum_k|a_k|^2\right)^{...
