When ideals properly extend the class of Arbault sets (2401.02103v1)

Abstract: In this article we continue the investigation of generalized version of Arbault sets, that was initiated in \cite{DGT} but look at the picture from the most general point of view where ideals come into play. While Arbault sets can be naturally associated with the Frechet ideal $Fin$, in \cite{DGT} it was observed that when $Fin$ is replaced by the natural density ideal $\mathcal{I}_d$ one can obtain a strictly larger class of trigonometric thin sets containing Arbault sets. From the set theoretic point of view a natural question arises as whether one can broaden the picture and specify a class of ideals (instead of a single ideal) each of which would have the similar effect. As a natural candidate, we focus on a special class of ideals, namely, non-$snt$ ideals ($snt$ stands for strongly non translation invariant") which properly contains the class of translation invariant ideals ($\varsupsetneq Fin$) and happens to contain ideals generated by simple density functions as also certain non-negative regular summability matrices (but not all) which can be seen from \cite{DG6}. We consider the resulting class of $\mathcal{I}$-Arbault sets and it is observed that for each such ideal, the class of $\mathcal{I}$-Arbault sets not only properly contains the class of classical Arbault sets \cite{Ar} but also a large subfamily of $\mathbf{N}$-sets (also calledsets of absolute convergence") \cite{Ft} while being contained in the class of weak Dirichlet sets. %In particular it properly contains the family of $\mathbf{N}_0$-sets which have been extensively used in the literature (see \cite{Ar, Ka, Ko}). Though distinct from the class of $\mathbf{N}$-sets, this happens to be a new class strictly lying between the class of Arbault sets and the class of weak Dirichlet sets.
