Probabilities and Baire’s theory in harmonic analysis

  • Chapter
Twentieth Century Harmonic Analysis — A Celebration

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 33))

Abstract

This is an expository paper, with an emphasis on the history of the subject. It consists of three main parts: history, terminology, and examples (Sections 1 and 2), functions and series (Sections 3,4, and 5), thin sets (Sections 6,7, 8,9, and 10). I chose the topics and references according to my own interest, but I decided not to develop what I wrote recently elsewhere [28], so that I was very brief at the end, in particular, on topics I like best.
