Spectral Synthesis on Direct Products (2308.10867v1)

Abstract: In a former paper we introduced the concept of localisation of ideals in the Fourier algebra of a locally compact Abelian group. It turns out that localisability of a closed ideal in the Fourier algebra is equivalent to the synthesisability of the annihilator of that closed ideal which corresponds to this ideal in the measure algebra. This equivalence provides an effective tool to prove synthesisability of varieties on locally compact Abelian groups. In another paper we used this method to show that when investigating synthesisability of a variety, roughly speaking, compact elements of the group can be neglected. Using these results, in this paper we completely characterise those locally compact Abelian groups on which spectral synthesis holds.
