Completeness of Sets of Shifts in Invariant Banach Spaces of Tempered Distributions via Tauberian conditions (2012.11127v2)

Abstract: The main result of this paper is a far reaching generalization of the completeness result given by V.~Katsnelson in a paper [35]. Instead of just using a collection of dilated Gaussians it is shown that the key steps of an earlier paper [27] by the authors, combined with the use of Tauberian conditions (i.e. the non-vanishing of the Fourier transform) allow us to show that the linear span of the translates of a single function $g \in {{{\boldsymbol{\mathcal {S}}}({\mathbb{R}}^d)}}$ is a dense subspace of any Banach space satisfying certain double invariance properties. In fact, a much stronger statement is presented: for a given compact subset $M$ in such a Banach space $({\boldsymbol B}, \, |\,\cdot\,|_{\boldsymbol B})$ one can construct a finite rank operator, whose range is contained in the linear span of finitely many translates of $g$, and which approximates the identity operator over $M$ up to a given level of precision. The setting of tempered distributions allows to reduce the technical arguments to methods which are widely used in Fourier Analysis. The extension to non-quasi-analytic weights respectively locally compact Abelian groups is left to a forthcoming paper, which will be technically much more involved and uses different ingredients.
