Introduction
The quantum unique ergodicity problem asks whether high-energy Laplace eigenfunctions become equidistributed on the underlying surface. For the modular surface X = Γ \ H X=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H} X = Γ\ H with H = { x + i y : y > 0 } \mathbb{H}=\{x+iy:y>0\} H = { x + i y : y > 0 } and Γ = PSL 2 ( Z ) \Gamma=\operatorname{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}) Γ = PSL 2 ( Z ) , arithmetic QUE is known for L 2 L^2 L 2 -normalised Hecke–Maass cusp forms by the work of Lindenstrauss [10 ] and Soundararajan [13 ] . In particular, for every ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( X ) \psi\in C^\infty_c(X) ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( X ) , as t j → ∞ t_j\to\infty t j → ∞ one has
∫ X ψ ( z ) ∣ u j ( z ) ∣ 2 d μ ( z ) ⟶ 1 vol ( X ) ∫ X ψ ( z ) d μ ( z ) , \int_X \psi(z)|u_j(z)|^2\,d\mu(z)\longrightarrow\frac{1}{\operatorname{vol}(X)}\int_X\psi(z)\,d\mu(z), ∫ X ψ ( z ) ∣ u j ( z ) ∣ 2 d μ ( z ) ⟶ vol ( X ) 1 ∫ X ψ ( z ) d μ ( z ) ,
where the hyperbolic area measure d μ ( z ) d\mu(z) d μ ( z ) is given by d μ ( z ) = d x d y / y 2 d\mu(z)=dx\,dy/y^2 d μ ( z ) = d x d y / y 2 , so that vol ( X ) = π / 3 \operatorname{vol}(X)=\pi/3 vol ( X ) = π /3 .
A natural question is whether the restriction mass of these eigenfunctions also becomes equidistributed along a fixed geodesic. Since the usual QUE result concerns integration against smooth functions on the surface, it does not directly give information about the restriction mass along a geodesic. Young formulated the following conjecture for the vertical geodesic [16 Conjecture 1.1] .
Conjecture 1.1. Let u j u_j u j range over even, L 2 L^2 L 2 -normalised Hecke–Maass cusp forms on X X X , with Laplace eigenvalues 1 / 4 + t j 2 1/4+t_j^2 1/4 + t j 2 . For every real-valued ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) \psi\in C^\infty_c(0,\infty) ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) ,
lim t j → ∞ u j e v e n ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 d y y = 6 π ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y . (1) \lim_{\substack{t_j\to\infty\\u_j\ \mathrm{even}}}\int_0^\infty\psi(y)|u_j(iy)|^2\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{6}{\pi}\int_0^\infty\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}. \tag*{(1)} t j → ∞ u j even lim ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 y d y = π 6 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y . (1)
One way to study this conjecture is through quantum variance. In the holomorphic setting, Zenz [17 ] obtained an asymptotic formula for the quantum variance along the vertical geodesic, averaged over Hecke cusp forms of even weights k ≍ K k \asymp K k ≍ K . The leading term is of order K 3 / 2 log K K^{3/2}\log K K 3/2 log K . More recently, the authors [14 ] extended this result to short weight intervals of length G = K 9 / 10 G=K^{9/10} G = K 9/10 , obtaining an asymptotic formula with a leading term of order K 1 / 2 G log K K^{1/2}G\log K K 1/2 G log K .
Let { u j } \{u_j\} { u j } be an orthonormal basis of even Hecke–Maass cusp forms on X X X with Laplace eigenvalues 1 / 4 + t j 2 1/4+t_j^2 1/4 + t j 2 . We have the following Fourier–Whittaker expansion (see [7 ] )
u j ( x + i y ) = y ∑ n ≠ 0 ρ j ( n ) K i t j ( 2 π ∣ n ∣ y ) e ( n x ) , u_j(x+iy)=\sqrt{y}\sum_{n\ne0}\rho_j(n)K_{it_j}(2\pi|n|y)e(nx), u j ( x + i y ) = y n = 0 ∑ ρ j ( n ) K i t j ( 2 π ∣ n ∣ y ) e ( n x ) ,
where, as usual, e ( x ) = e 2 π i x e(x)=e^{2\pi ix} e ( x ) = e 2 π i x and ρ j ( ± n ) = ρ j ( 1 ) λ j ( n ) \rho_j(\pm n)=\rho_j(1)\lambda_j(n) ρ j ( ± n ) = ρ j ( 1 ) λ j ( n ) for n ≥ 1 n\ge1 n ≥ 1 . The Hecke eigenvalues λ j ( n ) \lambda_j(n) λ j ( n ) satisfy
λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ ( m , n ) λ j ( m n / d 2 ) . \lambda_j(m)\lambda_j(n)=\sum_{d\mid(m,n)}\lambda_j(mn/d^2). λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) = d ∣ ( m , n ) ∑ λ j ( mn / d 2 ) .
The L 2 L^2 L 2 -normalisation gives
∣ ρ j ( 1 ) ∣ 2 cosh ( π t j ) = 2 L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) . \frac{|\rho_j(1)|^2}{\cosh(\pi t_j)}=\frac{2}{L(1,\operatorname{sym}^2u_j)}. cosh ( π t j ) ∣ ρ j ( 1 ) ∣ 2 = L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) 2 .
Our main result is the following.
Theorem 1.2. For T ≥ 2 T\ge2 T ≥ 2 , 1 ≤ U ≤ T 1\le U\le T 1 ≤ U ≤ T , every real-valued ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) \psi\in C^\infty_c(0,\infty) ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) , and every ε > 0 \varepsilon>0 ε > 0 ,
∑ u j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ∣ ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 d y y − 6 π ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε . (2) \sum_{\substack{u_j\ \mathrm{even}\\ T<t_j\le T+U}}L(1,\operatorname{sym}^2u_j)\left|\int_0^\infty\psi(y)|u_j(iy)|^2\frac{dy}{y}-\frac{6}{\pi}\int_0^\infty\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}\right|^2\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon}T^{1+\varepsilon}. \tag*{(2)} u j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 y d y − π 6 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε . (2) Here the implied constant depends only on ψ \psi ψ and ε \varepsilon ε , and the estimate is uniform for 1 ≤ U ≤ T 1\le U\le T 1 ≤ U ≤ T .
For U ≥ T θ U\ge T^\theta U ≥ T θ with fixed θ > 0 \theta>0 θ > 0 , the even-spectrum Weyl law (see Lemma A.1 ) gives
# { j e v e n : T < t j ≤ T + U } ≍ T U . \#\{j\ \mathrm{even}:T<t_j\le T+U\}\asymp TU. # { j even : T < t j ≤ T + U } ≍ T U .
Thus the upper bound in (2) implies the average order of the weighted squares L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ∣ μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 L(1,\operatorname{sym}^2u_j)|\mu_j(\psi)-M(\psi)|^2 L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ∣ μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 is O ψ , ε ( T ε / U ) O_{\psi,\varepsilon}(T^\varepsilon/U) O ψ , ε ( T ε / U ) . We can compare this bound with the holomorphic case. For holomorphic cusp forms of weights k ≍ K k\asymp K k ≍ K , the results of Zenz [17 ] and the authors [14 ] give an average of order K − 1 / 2 log K K^{-1/2}\log K K − 1/2 log K , while for U = T θ U=T^\theta U = T θ with θ > 1 / 2 \theta>1/2 θ > 1/2 , the bound in (2) gives T − θ + ε T^{-\theta+\varepsilon} T − θ + ε , which has a smaller power of the spectral parameter.
As a direct consequence of Theorem 1.2 and the even-spectrum Weyl law in Lemma A.1 , we obtain density-one restricted equidistribution in short spectral intervals.
Corollary 1.3. Fix a real-valued ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) \psi\in C^\infty_c(0,\infty) ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) , 0 < θ ≤ 1 0<\theta\le1 0 < θ ≤ 1 , and 0 < η < θ / 2 0<\eta<\theta/2 0 < η < θ /2 . If T θ ≤ U ≤ T T^\theta\le U\le T T θ ≤ U ≤ T , then for every ε > 0 \varepsilon>0 ε > 0 all but
O ψ , θ , η , ε ( T 1 + 2 η + ε ) (3) O_{\psi,\theta,\eta,\varepsilon}(T^{1+2\eta+\varepsilon}) \tag*{(3)} O ψ , θ , η , ε ( T 1 + 2 η + ε ) (3) even forms with T < t j ≤ T + U T<t_j\le T+U T < t j ≤ T + U satisfy
∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 d y y = 6 π ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y + O ( T − η ) . \int_0^\infty\psi(y)|u_j(iy)|^2\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{6}{\pi}\int_0^\infty\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}+O(T^{-\eta}). ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 y d y = π 6 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y + O ( T − η ) . In particular, taking 0 < ε < θ − 2 η 0<\varepsilon<\theta-2\eta 0 < ε < θ − 2 η , the exceptional proportion tends to zero.
Proof. Fix ε > 0 \varepsilon> 0 ε > 0 and let E \mathcal{E} E be the exceptional set. Applying the lower bound L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ≫ ε T − ε / 2 L(1,\operatorname{sym}^{2}u_j) \gg_{\varepsilon} T^{-\varepsilon/2} L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ≫ ε T − ε /2 and Theorem 1.2 , we obtain
# E ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + 2 η + ε . \#\mathcal{E} \ll_{\psi,\varepsilon} T^{1+2\eta+\varepsilon}. # E ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + 2 η + ε .
By Lemma A.1 in Appendix A, the even-spectrum count satisfies
# { j e v e n : T < t j ≤ T + U } = 2 T U + U 2 24 + O ( T log T ) ≍ θ T U \#\{j\ \mathrm{even}: T < t_j \leq T+U\} = \frac{2TU+U^2}{24}+O(T\log T)\asymp_{\theta} TU # { j even : T < t j ≤ T + U } = 24 2 T U + U 2 + O ( T log T ) ≍ θ T U
uniformly for T θ ≤ U ≤ T T^{\theta} \leq U \leq T T θ ≤ U ≤ T as T → ∞ T \to\infty T → ∞ . Thus by choosing 0 < ε < θ − 2 η 0 < \varepsilon< \theta- 2\eta 0 < ε < θ − 2 η , we obtain that the exceptional proportion is
O ψ , θ , η , ε ( T 2 η + ε − θ ) = o ( 1 ) . O_{\psi,\theta,\eta,\varepsilon}(T^{2\eta+\varepsilon-\theta})=o(1). O ψ , θ , η , ε ( T 2 η + ε − θ ) = o ( 1 ) .

Outline of the proof of Theorem 1.2 . We substitute the Fourier–Whittaker expansion of the Maass forms into the restriction integral and separate the resulting sum into diagonal and off-diagonal parts. The diagonal part has a direct interpretation in terms of an incomplete Eisenstein series. For h ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) h(y)=y\psi(y) h ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) , let
E ( z ∣ h ) = ∑ γ ∈ Γ ∞ \ Γ h ( Im γ z ) . E(z\mid h)=\sum_{\gamma\in\Gamma_{\infty}\backslash\Gamma}h(\operatorname{Im}\gamma z). E ( z ∣ h ) = γ ∈ Γ ∞ \Γ ∑ h ( Im γ z ) .
Unfolding shows that the diagonal part is exactly
2 ⟨ ∣ u j ∣ 2 , E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) ⟩ X . 2\langle|u_j|^2,E(\cdot\mid y\psi)\rangle_X. 2 ⟨ ∣ u j ∣ 2 , E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) ⟩ X .
Since vol ( X ) = π / 3 \operatorname{vol}(X)=\pi/3 vol ( X ) = π /3 , we have
2 vol ( X ) ⟨ E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) , 1 ⟩ X = 6 π ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y . \frac{2}{\operatorname{vol}(X)}\langle E(\cdot\mid y\psi),1\rangle_X=\frac{6}{\pi}\int_0^\infty\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}. vol ( X ) 2 ⟨ E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) , 1 ⟩ X = π 6 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y .
Thus the constant part of the incomplete Eisenstein series gives the predicted mass. The diagonal fluctuations are controlled by the quantum variance estimate of Luo and Sarnak [12 Proposition 3.1] .
The off-diagonal terms involve the normalised Bessel product integral
B m , n ( t ) = 16 cosh ( π t ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t ( 2 π m y ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) d y , m ≠ n . B_{m,n}(t)=16\cosh(\pi t)\int_0^\infty\psi(y)K_{it}(2\pi my)K_{it}(2\pi ny)\,dy,\qquad m\ne n. B m , n ( t ) = 16 cosh ( π t ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t ( 2 π m y ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) d y , m = n .
In the holomorphic case, the restriction integral involves exponential functions, which are relatively easy to integrate. For Maass forms, the corresponding integrals involve K K K -Bessel functions and are harder to analyse. However, the differential equation for the K K K -Bessel function allows us to truncate the off-diagonal sum. We also establish estimates for the spectral derivatives of the corresponding Bessel integrals, which are needed to apply the spectral large sieve. More precisely, in § 2 and § 3 , we show that the off-diagonal sum can be restricted to
1 ≤ m < n ≪ ψ T , n 2 − m 2 ≪ T 1 + ε , 1\leq m<n\ll_{\psi}T,\qquad n^2-m^2\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}, 1 ≤ m < n ≪ ψ T , n 2 − m 2 ≪ T 1 + ε ,
with a negligible remainder in the off-diagonal contribution.
Applying the Hecke relation and making the change of variables m = d a m=da m = d a , n = d ( a + b ) n=d(a+b) n = d ( a + b ) , we can rewrite the off-diagonal second moment as
∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U 1 L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) ∣ ∑ d , a , b ≥ 1 λ j ( a ( a + b ) ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t j ) ∣ 2 . \sum_{\substack{j\ \mathrm{even}\\ T<t_j\leq T+U}} \frac{1}{L(1,\operatorname{sym}^{2}u_j)}\left|\sum_{d,a,b\geq1}\lambda_j\left(a(a+b)\right)\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t_j)\right|^{2}. j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) 1 d , a , b ≥ 1 ∑ λ j ( a ( a + b ) ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t j ) 2 .
The coefficients in the inner sum still depend on t j t_j t j . The spectral derivative estimates allow us to approximate these Bessel integrals by finite Fourier series on shorter spectral intervals, with a negligible error. Schematically, for an interval I I I with midpoint t I t_I t I , this takes the form
B m , n ( t ) ⇝ ∑ ∣ k ∣ ≤ K c m , n , I ( k ) e ( k ( t − t I ) ∣ I ∣ ) , t ∈ I . \mathcal{B}_{m,n}(t)\leadsto\sum_{|k|\leq K}c_{m,n,I}(k)e\left(\frac{k(t-t_I)}{|I|}\right),\qquad t\in I. B m , n ( t ) ⇝ ∣ k ∣ ≤ K ∑ c m , n , I ( k ) e ( ∣ I ∣ k ( t − t I ) ) , t ∈ I .
For each Fourier frequency, the coefficients on the right are independent of the varying spectral parameter. We may therefore apply Jutila’s spectral large sieve on each short interval. Combining the resulting estimates over the dyadic ranges proves the off-diagonal bound O ψ , ε ( T 1 + ε ) O_{\psi,\varepsilon}(T^{1+\varepsilon}) O ψ , ε ( T 1 + ε ) .
Together with the diagonal variance estimate, this proves Theorem 1.2 .
Organisation of the paper. Section 2 records the spectral normalisations and the large-sieve input. Section 3 proves the arithmetic truncation, and Section 4 develops the Bessel analysis and the spectral derivative estimates. Section 5 gives the Fourier localisation needed for the local spectral large sieve. Section 6 establishes the dyadic coefficient estimates and completes the proof of the main theorem. Appendix A records the parity-specific Weyl law used in Corollary 1.3.
Preliminaries
Throughout the paper, write
μ j ( ψ ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 d y y , M ( ψ ) = 6 π ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y , L j = L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) . \mu_j(\psi)=\int_0^\infty\psi(y)|u_j(iy)|^2\frac{dy}{y},\qquad M(\psi)=\frac{6}{\pi}\int_0^\infty\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y},\qquad L_j=L(1,\operatorname{sym}^{2}u_j). μ j ( ψ ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 y d y , M ( ψ ) = π 6 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y , L j = L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) .
where u j u_j u j is an L 2 L^2 L 2 -normalised Hecke–Maass cusp form. We use the standard bounds of Hoffstein–Lockhart [6 ] and Li [9 ] ,
t j − ε ≪ ε L j ≪ ε t j ε . t_j^{-\varepsilon}\ll_{\varepsilon} L_j\ll_{\varepsilon} t_j^{\varepsilon}. t j − ε ≪ ε L j ≪ ε t j ε .
Recall the Fourier–Whittaker expansion
u j ( z ) = ∑ n ≠ 0 ρ j ( n ) y K i t j ( 2 π ∣ n ∣ y ) e ( n x ) , ρ j ( ± n ) = ρ j ( 1 ) λ j ( n ) ( n ≥ 1 ) . (4) u_j(z)=\sum_{n\ne0}\rho_j(n)\sqrt{y}K_{it_j}(2\pi|n|y)e(nx),\qquad\rho_j(\pm n)=\rho_j(1)\lambda_j(n)\quad(n\geq1). \tag*{(4)} u j ( z ) = n = 0 ∑ ρ j ( n ) y K i t j ( 2 π ∣ n ∣ y ) e ( n x ) , ρ j ( ± n ) = ρ j ( 1 ) λ j ( n ) ( n ≥ 1 ) . (4)
where ∥ u j ∥ 2 = 1 \|u_j\|_2=1 ∥ u j ∥ 2 = 1 gives
∣ ρ j ( 1 ) ∣ 2 cosh ( π t j ) = 2 L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) . \frac{|\rho_j(1)|^2}{\cosh(\pi t_j)}=\frac{2}{L(1,\operatorname{sym}^{2}u_j)}. cosh ( π t j ) ∣ ρ j ( 1 ) ∣ 2 = L ( 1 , sym 2 u j ) 2 .
The restriction integral μ j ( ψ ) \mu_j(\psi) μ j ( ψ ) then splits into a diagonal part, treated using an incomplete Eisenstein series, and an off-diagonal part, reorganised using the Hecke relations.
For positive integers m , n m,n m , n , recall the normalised Bessel product integral
B m , n ( t ) = 16 cosh ( π t ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t ( 2 π m y ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) d y . (5) \mathcal{B}_{m,n}(t)=16\cosh(\pi t)\int_0^\infty\psi(y)K_{it}(2\pi my)K_{it}(2\pi ny)\,dy. \tag*{(5)} B m , n ( t ) = 16 cosh ( π t ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t ( 2 π m y ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) d y . (5)
Substituting the Fourier expansion into the restriction integral gives
∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 d y y = 4 ∣ ρ j ( 1 ) ∣ 2 ∑ m , n ≥ 1 λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t j ( 2 π m y ) K i t j ( 2 π n y ) d y = 1 2 L j ∑ m , n ≥ 1 λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) B m , n ( t j ) . (6) \begin{aligned}

&=\frac{1}{2L_j}\sum_{m,n\geq1}\lambda_j(m)\lambda_j(n)B_{m,n}(t_j). \tag*{(6)}
\end{aligned} ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) ∣ u j ( i y ) ∣ 2 y d y = 4∣ ρ j ( 1 ) ∣ 2 m , n ≥ 1 ∑ λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t j ( 2 π m y ) K i t j ( 2 π n y ) d y = 2 L j 1 m , n ≥ 1 ∑ λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) B m , n ( t j ) . (6)
Write μ j = D j + S j \mu_j=D_j+S_j μ j = D j + S j , where D j D_j D j is the contribution m = n m=n m = n .
Let
E ( z ∣ h ) = ∑ γ ∈ Γ ∞ \ Γ h ( ℑ γ z ) , h ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) . (7) E(z\mid h)=\sum_{\gamma\in\Gamma_\infty\backslash\Gamma}h(\Im\gamma z),\qquad h(y)=y\psi(y). \tag*{(7)} E ( z ∣ h ) = γ ∈ Γ ∞ \Γ ∑ h ( ℑ γ z ) , h ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) . (7)
Unfolding (7) , using both signs in (4) , gives the exact identity
D j ( ψ ) = 2 ⟨ ∣ u j ∣ 2 , E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) ⟩ X . (8) D_j(\psi)=2\langle|u_j|^2,E(\cdot\mid y\psi)\rangle_X. \tag*{(8)} D j ( ψ ) = 2 ⟨ ∣ u j ∣ 2 , E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) ⟩ X . (8)
Moreover,
⟨ E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) , 1 ⟩ X = ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y . \langle E(\cdot\mid y\psi),1\rangle_X=\int_{0}^{\infty}\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}. ⟨ E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) , 1 ⟩ X = ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y .
The mean of the incomplete Eisenstein series therefore determines the natural centering constant
M ( ψ ) = 2 vol ( X ) ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y = 6 π ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) d y y . (9) M(\psi)=\frac{2}{\operatorname{vol}(X)}\int_{0}^{\infty}\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}
=\frac{6}{\pi}\int_{0}^{\infty}\psi(y)\frac{dy}{y}. \tag*{(9)} M ( ψ ) = vol ( X ) 2 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y = π 6 ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) y d y . (9)
The diagonal variance estimate
The diagonal contribution satisfies the following estimate.
Lemma 2.1. Let ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) \psi\in C^\infty_c(0,\infty) ψ ∈ C c ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) be real-valued. For T ≥ 2 T\geq2 T ≥ 2 and 1 ≤ U ≤ T 1\leq U\leq T 1 ≤ U ≤ T ,
∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U L j ∣ D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε . (10) \sum_{\substack{j\ \mathrm{even}\\ T<t_j\leq T+U}}L_j|D_j(\psi)-M(\psi)|^2\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon}T^{1+\varepsilon}. \tag*{(10)} j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L j ∣ D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε . (10) Proof. By (8) and (9) ,
D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) = 2 ( ⟨ ∣ u j ∣ 2 , E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) ⟩ X − ⟨ E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) , 1 ⟩ X vol ( X ) ) . D_j(\psi)-M(\psi)
=2\left(\langle|u_j|^2,E(\cdot\mid y\psi)\rangle_X-\frac{\langle E(\cdot\mid y\psi),1\rangle_X}{\operatorname{vol}(X)}\right). D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) = 2 ( ⟨ ∣ u j ∣ 2 , E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) ⟩ X − vol ( X ) ⟨ E ( ⋅ ∣ y ψ ) , 1 ⟩ X ) . Apply [12 Proposition 3.1] to the incomplete Eisenstein series E ( z ∣ h ) E(z\mid h) E ( z ∣ h ) of (7) , with h ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) h(y)=y\psi(y) h ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) . We have only replaced the notation P h , 0 P_{h,0} P h , 0 used there by E ( z ∣ h ) E(z\mid h) E ( z ∣ h ) , and their spectral parameter κ j \kappa_j κ j by t j t_j t j . Since h h h is fixed and compactly supported in ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty) ( 0 , ∞ ) , the derivative constants in that proposition depend only on ψ \psi ψ . It follows that
∑ t j ≤ 2 T ∣ D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε . \sum_{t_j\leq2T}|D_j(\psi)-M(\psi)|^2\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon}T^{1+\varepsilon}. t j ≤ 2 T ∑ ∣ D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε . The asserted bound follows by restricting to the even forms in T < t j ≤ T + U ≤ 2 T T<t_j\leq T+U\leq2T T < t j ≤ T + U ≤ 2 T and using L j ≪ ε T ε L_j\ll_\varepsilon T^\varepsilon L j ≪ ε T ε , after adjusting ε \varepsilon ε in the variance estimate. □
Using the symmetry in m , n m,n m , n and the Hecke relation
λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) = ∑ d ∣ ( m , n ) λ j ( m n d 2 ) (11) \lambda_j(m)\lambda_j(n)=\sum_{d\mid(m,n)}\lambda_j\left(\frac{mn}{d^2}\right) \tag*{(11)} λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) = d ∣ ( m , n ) ∑ λ j ( d 2 mn ) (11)
and making the substitution m = d a m = da m = d a , n = d ( a + b ) n = d(a+b) n = d ( a + b ) , we obtain
S j ( ψ ) = 1 L j ∑ d , a , b ≥ 1 λ j ( a ( a + b ) ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t j ) , (12) S_j(\psi) = \frac{1}{L_j}\sum_{d,a,b\geq1}\lambda_j\bigl(a(a+b)\bigr)\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t_j), \tag*{(12)} S j ( ψ ) = L j 1 d , a , b ≥ 1 ∑ λ j ( a ( a + b ) ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t j ) , (12)
Truncation of the off-diagonal sum
We next make a preliminary truncation of the off-diagonal sum. Write supp ψ ⊂ [ y 0 , y 1 ] \operatorname{supp}\psi\subset[y_0,y_1] supp ψ ⊂ [ y 0 , y 1 ] , where 0 < y 0 < y 1 0<y_0<y_1 0 < y 0 < y 1 , and let E j f a r \mathcal{E}^{\mathrm{far}}_j E j far denote the contribution to S j ( ψ ) S_j(\psi) S j ( ψ ) from max { m , n } ≫ ψ T \max\{m,n\}\gg_\psi T max { m , n } ≫ ψ T .
Lemma 2.2. For every A > 0 A>0 A > 0 , uniformly for T < t j ≤ T + U ≤ 2 T T<t_j\leq T+U\leq2T T < t j ≤ T + U ≤ 2 T ,
E j f a r ≪ A , ψ T − A . \mathcal{E}^{\mathrm{far}}_j\ll_{A,\psi}T^{-A}. E j far ≪ A , ψ T − A . Consequently, the off-diagonal sum can be restricted to
m , n ≪ ψ T . m,n\ll_\psi T. m , n ≪ ψ T .
Proof. The integral representation (see [4 8.432.1] )
K i t ( x ) = ∫ 0 ∞ e − x cosh u cos ( t u ) d u K_{it}(x)=\int_0^\infty e^{-x\cosh u}\cos(tu)\,du K i t ( x ) = ∫ 0 ∞ e − x c o s h u cos ( t u ) d u
and the inequality cosh u ≥ 1 + u 2 / 2 \cosh u\geq1+u^2/2 cosh u ≥ 1 + u 2 /2 give
∣ K i t ( x ) ∣ ≤ K 0 ( x ) ≤ e − x ∫ 0 ∞ e − x u 2 / 2 d u = π 2 x e − x . |K_{it}(x)|\leq K_0(x)\leq e^{-x}\int_0^\infty e^{-xu^2/2}\,du=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2x}}e^{-x}. ∣ K i t ( x ) ∣ ≤ K 0 ( x ) ≤ e − x ∫ 0 ∞ e − x u 2 /2 d u = 2 x π e − x .
Since y ≥ y 0 y\geq y_0 y ≥ y 0 on supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ and t j ≤ 2 T t_j\leq2T t j ≤ 2 T , it follows that, for n ≫ ψ T n\gg_\psi T n ≫ ψ T ,
e π t j / 2 ∣ K i t j ( 2 π n y ) ∣ ≪ ψ n − 1 / 2 exp { π T − 2 π y 0 n } ≪ A , ψ T − A n − A . e^{\pi t_j/2}|K_{it_j}(2\pi n y)|\ll_\psi n^{-1/2}\exp\{\pi T-2\pi y_0n\}\ll_{A,\psi}T^{-A}n^{-A}. e π t j /2 ∣ K i t j ( 2 π n y ) ∣ ≪ ψ n − 1/2 exp { π T − 2 π y 0 n } ≪ A , ψ T − A n − A .
The same estimate holds with m m m in place of n n n . Substitution in the off-diagonal part of (6) , followed by absolute summation, proves the assertion. □
Fix a sufficiently large constant C ψ C_\psi C ψ as in Lemma 2.2. Henceforth we restrict the Fourier indices to m , n ≤ C ψ T m,n\leq C_\psi T m , n ≤ C ψ T , with a negligible error.
The spectral large sieve
We record Jutila’s spectral large-sieve inequality [8 Theorem 1.1] in the form needed for the off-diagonal contribution.
Lemma 2.3. Let T ≥ 2 T\geq2 T ≥ 2 , 1 ≤ H ≤ T 1\leq H\leq T 1 ≤ H ≤ T , and let ( a n ) (a_n) ( a n ) be a finite complex sequence supported on n ≤ N n\leq N n ≤ N . Then
∑ T ≤ t j ≤ T + H 1 L j ∣ ∑ n ≤ N a n λ j ( n ) ∣ 2 ≪ ε ( T H + N ) ( T N ) ε ∑ n ≤ N ∣ a n ∣ 2 . \sum_{T\leq t_j\leq T+H}\frac{1}{L_j}\left|\sum_{n\leq N}a_n\lambda_j(n)\right|^2\ll_\varepsilon(TH+N)(TN)^\varepsilon\sum_{n\leq N}|a_n|^2. T ≤ t j ≤ T + H ∑ L j 1 n ≤ N ∑ a n λ j ( n ) 2 ≪ ε ( T H + N ) ( T N ) ε n ≤ N ∑ ∣ a n ∣ 2 . The sum may be restricted to any subfamily, in particular to the even forms.
Note that the truncation m , n ≪ ψ T m,n\ll_\psi T m , n ≪ ψ T alone is insufficient. The following calculation explains the need for a further truncation. Fix T ≤ t ≤ 2 T T\leq t\leq2T T ≤ t ≤ 2 T and consider a dyadic block
d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y , N : = X ( X + Y ) , d\asymp D,\qquad a\asymp X,\qquad b\asymp Y,\qquad N:=X(X+Y), d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y , N := X ( X + Y ) ,
for which, uniformly on supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ ,
T / 4 ≤ 2 π d a y ≤ 2 π d ( a + b ) y ≤ T / 2. T/4\leq2\pi day\leq2\pi d(a+b)y\leq T/2. T /4 ≤ 2 π d a y ≤ 2 π d ( a + b ) y ≤ T /2.
Thus both arguments lie in the oscillatory range at a fixed proportional distance from the turning point. The standard oscillatory asymptotic for the K K K -Bessel function [3 Lemma 3.1] then gives
e π t / 2 ∣ K i t ( 2 π d a y ) ∣ + e π t / 2 ∣ K i t ( 2 π d ( a + b ) y ) ∣ ≪ ψ T − 1 / 2 . e^{\pi t/2}|K_{it}(2\pi day)|+e^{\pi t/2}|K_{it}(2\pi d(a+b)y)|\ll_{\psi} T^{-1/2}. e π t /2 ∣ K i t ( 2 π d a y ) ∣ + e π t /2 ∣ K i t ( 2 π d ( a + b ) y ) ∣ ≪ ψ T − 1/2 .
Hence, by (5) ,
B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ≪ ψ T − 1 . \mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\ll_{\psi} T^{-1}. B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ≪ ψ T − 1 .
For each A A A , choosing a divisor a ∣ A a\mid A a ∣ A determines b b b through a ( a + b ) = A a(a+b)=A a ( a + b ) = A , while there are O ( D ) O(D) O ( D ) choices for d d d . Thus Cauchy’s inequality and the divisor bound give
∑ A ≍ X ( X + Y ) d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y a ( a + b ) = A ∣ ∑ d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ ε , ψ D T ε ∑ d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y ∣ B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ ε , ψ T ε D 2 X Y T 2 . \sum_{\substack{A\asymp X(X+Y)\\d\asymp D,\ a\asymp X,\ b\asymp Y\\a(a+b)=A}}
\left|\sum_{\substack{d\asymp D,\ a\asymp X,\ b\asymp Y}}
\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\right|^2
\ll_{\varepsilon,\psi} DT^\varepsilon
\sum_{\substack{d\asymp D,\ a\asymp X,\ b\asymp Y}}
|\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)|^2
\ll_{\varepsilon,\psi} T^\varepsilon\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}. A ≍ X ( X + Y ) d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y a ( a + b ) = A ∑ d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y ∑ B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) 2 ≪ ε , ψ D T ε d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y ∑ ∣ B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ ε , ψ T ε T 2 D 2 X Y .
The spectral large sieve can not be used here directly, but the structure of it would therefore produce the scale
T ε ( T U + X ( X + Y ) ) D 2 X Y T 2 . (13) T^\varepsilon\bigl(TU+X(X+Y)\bigr)\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}. \tag*{(13)} T ε ( T U + X ( X + Y ) ) T 2 D 2 X Y . (13)
For D X ≍ D Y ≍ T DX\asymp DY\asymp T D X ≍ D Y ≍ T , the right-hand side of (13) is of size
T ε ( T U + T 2 / D 2 ) . T^\varepsilon(TU+T^2/D^2). T ε ( T U + T 2 / D 2 ) .
In particular, blocks with D ≍ 1 D\asymp1 D ≍ 1 permit the scale T ε ( T U + T 2 ) T^\varepsilon(TU+T^2) T ε ( T U + T 2 ) , which is too large for the desired T 1 + ε T^{1+\varepsilon} T 1 + ε bound. Thus the restrictions m , n ≪ ψ T m,n\ll_{\psi} T m , n ≪ ψ T do not suffice. A further restriction on d ∣ b ∣ = ∣ m − n ∣ d|b|=|m-n| d ∣ b ∣ = ∣ m − n ∣ is established in Section 3.
Two auxiliary calculus lemmas
Theorem 2.4 (Faà di Bruno formula, [2 ] ). Let f , g ∈ C ℓ f,g\in C^\ell f , g ∈ C ℓ and ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 . Then
d ℓ d h ℓ f ( g ( h ) ) = ℓ ! ∑ m 1 , … , m ℓ ≥ 0 m 1 + 2 m 2 + ⋯ + ℓ m ℓ = ℓ f ( m 1 + ⋯ + m ℓ ) ( g ( h ) ) ∏ r = 1 ℓ 1 m r ! ( g ( r ) ( h ) r ! ) m r . \frac{d^\ell}{dh^\ell}f(g(h))=\ell!\sum_{\substack{m_1,\ldots,m_\ell\ge0\\m_1+2m_2+\cdots+\ell m_\ell=\ell}}
f^{(m_1+\cdots+m_\ell)}(g(h))\prod_{r=1}^{\ell}\frac{1}{m_r!}\left(\frac{g^{(r)}(h)}{r!}\right)^{m_r}. d h ℓ d ℓ f ( g ( h )) = ℓ ! m 1 , … , m ℓ ≥ 0 m 1 + 2 m 2 + ⋯ + ℓ m ℓ = ℓ ∑ f ( m 1 + ⋯ + m ℓ ) ( g ( h )) r = 1 ∏ ℓ m r ! 1 ( r ! g ( r ) ( h ) ) m r .
Lemma 2.5. Let f : R → [ 0 , ∞ ) f:\mathbb{R}\to[0,\infty) f : R → [ 0 , ∞ ) be upper semicontinuous and suppose that, for every N ≥ 0 N\ge0 N ≥ 0 ,
f ( x ) ≪ N ⟨ x ⟩ − N . f(x)\ll_N\langle x\rangle^{-N}. f ( x ) ≪ N ⟨ x ⟩ − N . Then there is a nonnegative ρ ∈ S ( R ) \rho\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}) ρ ∈ S ( R ) such that f ≤ ρ f\le\rho f ≤ ρ .
Proof. Choose χ ∈ C c ∞ ( ( − 1 , 1 ) ) \chi\in C^\infty_{\mathrm{c}}((-1,1)) χ ∈ C c ∞ (( − 1 , 1 )) with χ ≥ 0 \chi\ge0 χ ≥ 0 and ∫ R χ = 1 \int_{\mathbb{R}}\chi=1 ∫ R χ = 1 , and set
f ♯ ( x ) : = sup ∣ y − x ∣ ≤ 1 f ( y ) , ρ = f ♯ ∗ χ . f^\sharp(x):=\sup_{|y-x|\le1}f(y),\qquad\rho=f^\sharp*\chi. f ♯ ( x ) := ∣ y − x ∣ ≤ 1 sup f ( y ) , ρ = f ♯ ∗ χ . Then f ♯ ( x ) ≪ N ⟨ x ⟩ − N f^\sharp(x)\ll_N\langle x\rangle^{-N} f ♯ ( x ) ≪ N ⟨ x ⟩ − N for every N N N . Moreover, if χ ( x − y ) ≠ 0 \chi(x-y)\ne0 χ ( x − y ) = 0 , then ∣ x − y ∣ < 1 |x-y|<1 ∣ x − y ∣ < 1 and hence f ♯ ( y ) ≥ f ( x ) f^\sharp(y)\ge f(x) f ♯ ( y ) ≥ f ( x ) . Therefore
ρ ( x ) = ∫ R f ♯ ( y ) χ ( x − y ) d y ≥ f ( x ) . \rho(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}f^\sharp(y)\chi(x-y)\,dy\ge f(x). ρ ( x ) = ∫ R f ♯ ( y ) χ ( x − y ) d y ≥ f ( x ) .
Finally,
ρ ( k ) = f ♯ ∗ χ ( k ) , \rho^{(k)}=f^\sharp\ast\chi^{(k)}, ρ ( k ) = f ♯ ∗ χ ( k ) ,
and the compact support of χ ( k ) \chi^{(k)} χ ( k ) , together with the rapid decay of f ♯ f^\sharp f ♯ , gives
∣ ρ ( k ) ( x ) ∣ ≪ k , N ⟨ x ⟩ − N \left|\rho^{(k)}(x)\right|\ll_{k,N}\langle x\rangle^{-N} ρ ( k ) ( x ) ≪ k , N ⟨ x ⟩ − N
for every k , N ≥ 0 k,N\ge0 k , N ≥ 0 . Thus ρ ∈ S ( R ) \rho\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}) ρ ∈ S ( R ) . □
Truncation of the shift
We now prove a further restriction on the off-diagonal sum. Up to a negligible error, the off-diagonal terms may be restricted to
∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ ≪ T 1 + ε . \left|m^2-n^2\right|\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}. m 2 − n 2 ≪ T 1 + ε .
The proof uses the fact that the differential operator arising from the modified Bessel equation is formally symmetric with respect to the weighted inner product defined below; see, for example, [15 § 5.4, (5.53)] . The modified Bessel function satisfies
x 2 K i t ′ ′ ( x ) + x K i t ′ ( x ) − ( x 2 − t 2 ) K i t ( x ) = 0 ; (14) x^2K_{it}^{\prime\prime}(x)+xK_{it}^{\prime}(x)-\left(x^2-t^2\right)K_{it}(x)=0; \tag*{(14)} x 2 K i t ′′ ( x ) + x K i t ′ ( x ) − ( x 2 − t 2 ) K i t ( x ) = 0 ; (14)
see [4 8.494(1)] . If L x = x d d x L_x=x\frac{d}{dx} L x = x d x d denotes the Euler differential operator, then (14) becomes
( L x 2 + t 2 ) K i t ( x ) = x 2 K i t ( x ) . \left(L_x^2+t^2\right)K_{it}(x)=x^2K_{it}(x). ( L x 2 + t 2 ) K i t ( x ) = x 2 K i t ( x ) .
After putting x = 2 π n y x=2\pi ny x = 2 π n y , we have x ∂ x = y ∂ y x\partial_x=y\partial_y x ∂ x = y ∂ y , and hence
( ( y ∂ y ) 2 + t 2 ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) = ( 2 π n ) 2 y 2 K i t ( 2 π n y ) . \left((y\partial_y)^2+t^2\right)K_{it}(2\pi ny)=(2\pi n)^2y^2K_{it}(2\pi ny). ( ( y ∂ y ) 2 + t 2 ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) = ( 2 π n ) 2 y 2 K i t ( 2 π n y ) .
In Sturm–Liouville form, this leads to the differential expression
P t : = 1 y ( d d y y d d y + t 2 y ) = ∂ y 2 + y − 1 ∂ y + t 2 y − 2 , P_t:=\frac{1}{y}\left(\frac{d}{dy}y\frac{d}{dy}+\frac{t^2}{y}\right)=\partial_y^2+y^{-1}\partial_y+t^2y^{-2}, P t := y 1 ( d y d y d y d + y t 2 ) = ∂ y 2 + y − 1 ∂ y + t 2 y − 2 ,
for which
P t K i t ( 2 π n y ) = ( 2 π n ) 2 K i t ( 2 π n y ) . P_tK_{it}(2\pi ny)=(2\pi n)^2K_{it}(2\pi ny). P t K i t ( 2 π n y ) = ( 2 π n ) 2 K i t ( 2 π n y ) .
It is formally symmetric with respect to
⟨ f , g ⟩ = ∫ 0 ∞ f ( y ) g ( y ) ‾ y d y . \langle f,g\rangle=\int_0^\infty f(y)\overline{g(y)}\,y\,dy. ⟨ f , g ⟩ = ∫ 0 ∞ f ( y ) g ( y ) y d y .
With respect to this inner product, P t P_t P t is formally self-adjoint: if f , g f,g f , g are smooth and at least one of them is compactly supported in ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty) ( 0 , ∞ ) , integration by parts gives
⟨ P t f , g ⟩ = − ∫ 0 ∞ y f ′ ( y ) g ′ ( y ) ‾ d y + t 2 ∫ 0 ∞ f ( y ) g ( y ) ‾ d y y = ⟨ f , P t g ⟩ . \langle P_tf,g\rangle=-\int_0^\infty yf'(y)\overline{g'(y)}\,dy+t^2\int_0^\infty f(y)\overline{g(y)}\,\frac{dy}{y}=\langle f,P_tg\rangle. ⟨ P t f , g ⟩ = − ∫ 0 ∞ y f ′ ( y ) g ′ ( y ) d y + t 2 ∫ 0 ∞ f ( y ) g ( y ) y d y = ⟨ f , P t g ⟩ .
A uniform bound for the K K K -Bessel function
We use the following uniform estimate throughout this section.
Lemma 3.1. Uniformly for t ≥ 1 t \ge1 t ≥ 1 and x > 0 x > 0 x > 0 ,
e π t / 2 ∣ K i t ( x ) ∣ ≪ t − 1 / 3 . e^{\pi t/2}|K_{it}(x)| \ll t^{-1/3}. e π t /2 ∣ K i t ( x ) ∣ ≪ t − 1/3 .
Proof. For x > 1 x > 1 x > 1 , this is [11 Proposition 4.3] . For 0 < x ≤ 1 0 < x \le1 0 < x ≤ 1 , we use
K i t ( x ) = π 2 i sinh ( π t ) ( I − i t ( x ) − I i t ( x ) ) . (15) K_{it}(x)=\frac{\pi}{2i\sinh(\pi t)}\left(I_{-it}(x)-I_{it}(x)\right). \tag*{(15)} K i t ( x ) = 2 i sinh ( π t ) π ( I − i t ( x ) − I i t ( x ) ) . (15)
which is formula [4 8.485] . We also have the power series for I i t ( x ) I_{it}(x) I i t ( x ) [4 8.445] ,
I i t ( x ) = ( x 2 ) i t ∑ k = 0 ∞ ( x 2 / 4 ) k k ! Γ ( k + 1 + i t ) . I_{it}(x)=\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{it}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(x^2/4)^k}{k!\,\Gamma(k+1+it)}. I i t ( x ) = ( 2 x ) i t k = 0 ∑ ∞ k ! Γ ( k + 1 + i t ) ( x 2 /4 ) k .
Since
∣ Γ ( k + 1 + i t ) ∣ = ∣ Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ ∏ j = 1 k ∣ j + i t ∣ ≥ ∣ Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ k ! , |\Gamma(k+1+it)|=|\Gamma(1+it)|\prod_{j=1}^{k}|j+it|\ge|\Gamma(1+it)|\,k!, ∣Γ ( k + 1 + i t ) ∣ = ∣Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ j = 1 ∏ k ∣ j + i t ∣ ≥ ∣Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ k ! ,
we obtain, uniformly for 0 < x ≤ 1 0 < x \le1 0 < x ≤ 1 ,
∣ I i t ( x ) ∣ + ∣ I − i t ( x ) ∣ ≪ ∣ Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ − 1 . |I_{it}(x)|+|I_{-it}(x)|\ll|\Gamma(1+it)|^{-1}. ∣ I i t ( x ) ∣ + ∣ I − i t ( x ) ∣ ≪ ∣Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ − 1 .
Using ∣ Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ 2 = π t / sinh ( π t ) |\Gamma(1+it)|^2=\pi t/\sinh(\pi t) ∣Γ ( 1 + i t ) ∣ 2 = π t / sinh ( π t ) in (15) gives
e π t / 2 ∣ K i t ( x ) ∣ ≪ t − 1 / 2 ≪ t − 1 / 3 . e^{\pi t/2}|K_{it}(x)|\ll t^{-1/2}\ll t^{-1/3}. e π t /2 ∣ K i t ( x ) ∣ ≪ t − 1/2 ≪ t − 1/3 .
We also need bounds for derivatives with respect to x x x . Since the normalising factor e π t / 2 e^{\pi t/2} e π t /2 is independent of x x x , the differential equation (14) also holds for e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x) e π t /2 K i t ( x ) .
Lemma 3.2. Fix x 0 > 0 x_0>0 x 0 > 0 and M > 0 M>0 M > 0 . For every integer ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\ge0 ℓ ≥ 0 , uniformly for t ≥ 1 t\ge1 t ≥ 1 and x 0 ≤ x ≤ M t x_0\le x\le Mt x 0 ≤ x ≤ M t ,
L x ℓ ( e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) ) ≪ ℓ , x 0 , M t ℓ − 1 / 3 . (16) L_x^\ell\left(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)\right)\ll_{\ell,x_0,M}t^{\ell-1/3}. \tag*{(16)} L x ℓ ( e π t /2 K i t ( x ) ) ≪ ℓ , x 0 , M t ℓ − 1/3 . (16)
Proof. We first treat ℓ = 1 \ell=1 ℓ = 1 . Write x = e s x=e^s x = e s and u ( s ) = e π t / 2 K i t ( e s ) u(s)=e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(e^s) u ( s ) = e π t /2 K i t ( e s ) . Then
u ′ ( s ) = L x ( e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) ) , u ′ ′ ( s ) = ( e 2 s − t 2 ) u ( s ) . u'(s)=L_x\left(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)\right),\qquad u''(s)=\left(e^{2s}-t^2\right)u(s). u ′ ( s ) = L x ( e π t /2 K i t ( x ) ) , u ′′ ( s ) = ( e 2 s − t 2 ) u ( s ) .
With h = t − 1 h=t^{-1} h = t − 1 , Taylor’s formula with integral remainder gives
u ′ ( s ) = u ( s + h ) − u ( s ) h − 1 h ∫ 0 h ( h − r ) u ′ ′ ( s + r ) d r . u'(s)=\frac{u(s+h)-u(s)}{h}-\frac{1}{h}\int_0^h(h-r)u''(s+r)\,dr. u ′ ( s ) = h u ( s + h ) − u ( s ) − h 1 ∫ 0 h ( h − r ) u ′′ ( s + r ) d r .
For 0 ≤ r ≤ h 0\le r\le h 0 ≤ r ≤ h we have x 0 ≤ e s + r ≤ e M t x_0\le e^{s+r}\le eMt x 0 ≤ e s + r ≤ e M t . Hence Lemma 3.1 yields u ( s + r ) ≪ t − 1 / 3 u(s+r)\ll t^{-1/3} u ( s + r ) ≪ t − 1/3 , while u ′ ′ ( s + r ) ≪ t 5 / 3 u''(s+r)\ll t^{5/3} u ′′ ( s + r ) ≪ t 5/3 . Consequently
L x ( e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) ) = u ′ ( s ) ≪ t 2 / 3 . L_x\left(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)\right)=u'(s)\ll t^{2/3}. L x ( e π t /2 K i t ( x ) ) = u ′ ( s ) ≪ t 2/3 .
For the higher derivatives, we claim that for every ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\ge0 ℓ ≥ 0 there are polynomials ω ℓ , 0 ( x , t ) \omega_{\ell,0}(x,t) ω ℓ , 0 ( x , t ) and ω ℓ , 1 ( x , t ) \omega_{\ell,1}(x,t) ω ℓ , 1 ( x , t ) such that
L x ℓ ( e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) ) = ω ℓ , 0 ( x , t ) e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) + ω ℓ , 1 ( x , t ) L x ( e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) ) , (17) L_x^\ell\left(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)\right)=\omega_{\ell,0}(x,t)e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)+\omega_{\ell,1}(x,t)L_x\left(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)\right), \tag*{(17)} L x ℓ ( e π t /2 K i t ( x ) ) = ω ℓ , 0 ( x , t ) e π t /2 K i t ( x ) + ω ℓ , 1 ( x , t ) L x ( e π t /2 K i t ( x ) ) , (17)
where, for x ≤ M t x \le Mt x ≤ M t ,
ω ℓ , 0 ( x , t ) ≪ ℓ , M t ℓ \omega_{\ell,0}(x,t) \ll_{\ell,M} t^\ell ω ℓ , 0 ( x , t ) ≪ ℓ , M t ℓ , ω ℓ , 1 ( x , t ) ≪ ℓ , M t ℓ − 1 \omega_{\ell,1}(x,t) \ll_{\ell,M} t^{\ell-1} ω ℓ , 1 ( x , t ) ≪ ℓ , M t ℓ − 1 (ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 ).
Indeed, take ω 0 , 0 = 1 \omega_{0,0}=1 ω 0 , 0 = 1 , ω 0 , 1 = 0 \omega_{0,1}=0 ω 0 , 1 = 0 and use the Bessel equation to obtain recursively
ω ℓ + 1 , 0 = L x ω ℓ , 0 + ( x 2 − t 2 ) ω ℓ , 1 , ω ℓ + 1 , 1 = ω ℓ , 0 + L x ω ℓ , 1 . \omega_{\ell+1,0}=L_x\omega_{\ell,0}+(x^2-t^2)\omega_{\ell,1},\qquad\omega_{\ell+1,1}=\omega_{\ell,0}+L_x\omega_{\ell,1}. ω ℓ + 1 , 0 = L x ω ℓ , 0 + ( x 2 − t 2 ) ω ℓ , 1 , ω ℓ + 1 , 1 = ω ℓ , 0 + L x ω ℓ , 1 .
The stated polynomial bounds follow by induction. The estimate (16) then follows from (17) , Lemma 3.1, and the bound for L x ( e π t / 2 K i t ) L_x(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}) L x ( e π t /2 K i t ) . □
We also need ordinary derivatives. For every integer ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 ,
x ℓ d ℓ d x ℓ = L x ( L x − 1 ) ⋯ ( L x − ℓ + 1 ) . x^\ell\frac{d^\ell}{dx^\ell}=L_x(L_x-1)\cdots(L_x-\ell+1). x ℓ d x ℓ d ℓ = L x ( L x − 1 ) ⋯ ( L x − ℓ + 1 ) .
Indeed, this follows by induction from
x ℓ + 1 d ℓ + 1 d x ℓ + 1 = ( L x − ℓ ) x ℓ d ℓ d x ℓ . x^{\ell+1}\frac{d^{\ell+1}}{dx^{\ell+1}}=(L_x-\ell)x^\ell\frac{d^\ell}{dx^\ell}. x ℓ + 1 d x ℓ + 1 d ℓ + 1 = ( L x − ℓ ) x ℓ d x ℓ d ℓ .
Consequently, for suitable constants c ℓ , k c_{\ell,k} c ℓ , k ,
d ℓ d x ℓ = x − ℓ ∑ k = 0 ℓ c ℓ , k L x k . \frac{d^\ell}{dx^\ell}=x^{-\ell}\sum_{k=0}^{\ell}c_{\ell,k}L_x^k. d x ℓ d ℓ = x − ℓ k = 0 ∑ ℓ c ℓ , k L x k .
Since x ≥ x 0 x \ge x_0 x ≥ x 0 , Lemma 3.2 gives
e π t / 2 d ℓ d x ℓ K i t ( x ) ≪ ℓ , x 0 , M t ℓ − 1 / 3 , x 0 ≤ x ≤ M t . e^{\pi t/2}\frac{d^\ell}{dx^\ell}K_{it}(x)\ll_{\ell,x_0,M}t^{\ell-1/3},\qquad x_0\le x\le Mt. e π t /2 d x ℓ d ℓ K i t ( x ) ≪ ℓ , x 0 , M t ℓ − 1/3 , x 0 ≤ x ≤ M t .
For a positive integer n n n , set
F n ( y ) = e π t / 2 K i t ( 2 π n y ) . F_n(y)=e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(2\pi ny). F n ( y ) = e π t /2 K i t ( 2 π n y ) .
If L y = y ∂ y L_y=y\partial_y L y = y ∂ y , then the scaling x = 2 π n y x=2\pi ny x = 2 π n y gives
L y ℓ F n ( y ) = L x ℓ ( e π t / 2 K i t ( x ) ) ∣ x = 2 π n y . (18) L_y^\ell F_n(y)=\left.L_x^\ell\left(e^{\pi t/2}K_{it}(x)\right)\right|_{x=2\pi ny}. \tag*{(18)} L y ℓ F n ( y ) = L x ℓ ( e π t /2 K i t ( x ) ) x = 2 π n y . (18)
Moreover,
y j ∂ y j = L y ( L y − 1 ) ⋯ ( L y − j + 1 ) . y^j\partial_y^j=L_y(L_y-1)\cdots(L_y-j+1). y j ∂ y j = L y ( L y − 1 ) ⋯ ( L y − j + 1 ) .
Since supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ is contained in a fixed compact subinterval of ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty) ( 0 , ∞ ) , Lemma 3.2 and (18) imply that, for every fixed j ≥ 0 j\ge0 j ≥ 0 ,
∂ y j F n ( y ) ≪ ψ , j t j − 1 / 3 , n ≪ ψ t , y ∈ supp ψ . (19) \partial_y^jF_n(y)\ll_{\psi,j}t^{j-1/3},\qquad n\ll_\psi t,\quad y\in\operatorname{supp}\psi. \tag*{(19)} ∂ y j F n ( y ) ≪ ψ , j t j − 1/3 , n ≪ ψ t , y ∈ supp ψ . (19)
The Sturm–Liouville truncation
Lemma 3.3. Let
T 0 = W , T R + 1 = [ P t , T R ] = P t T R − T R P t , W ( y ) = ψ ( y ) y . T_0=W,\qquad T_{R+1}=[P_t,T_R]=P_tT_R-T_RP_t,\qquad W(y)=\frac{\psi(y)}{y}. T 0 = W , T R + 1 = [ P t , T R ] = P t T R − T R P t , W ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) . For every integer R ≥ 0 R\ge0 R ≥ 0 one has
T R = ∑ j = 0 R c R , j ( y ; t ) ∂ y j , (20) T_R=\sum_{j=0}^{R}c_{R,j}(y;t)\partial_y^j, \tag*{(20)} T R = j = 0 ∑ R c R , j ( y ; t ) ∂ y j , (20) where every coefficient c R , j c_{R,j} c R , j is supported in supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ . Moreover, for every integer ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\ge0 ℓ ≥ 0 ,
∂ y ℓ c R , j ( y ; t ) ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j . (21) \partial_y^\ell c_{R,j}(y;t)\ll_{\psi,R,\ell}t^{R-j}. \tag*{(21)} ∂ y ℓ c R , j ( y ; t ) ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j . (21)
Proof. We use induction on R R R to prove simultaneously the representation (20) , the support condition
supp c R , j ⊆ supp ψ , \operatorname{supp} c_{R,j} \subseteq\operatorname{supp}\psi, supp c R , j ⊆ supp ψ ,
and the estimates (21) for every ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\ge0 ℓ ≥ 0 . For R = 0 R=0 R = 0 these assertions are immediate, since T 0 = W = ψ / y T_0=W=\psi/y T 0 = W = ψ / y is multiplication by a fixed smooth function supported in supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ .
Suppose that they hold for T R T_R T R . Then
T R + 1 = ∑ j = 0 R [ P t , c R , j ( y ; t ) ∂ y j ] . T_{R+1}=\sum_{j=0}^{R}[P_t,c_{R,j}(y;t)\partial_y^j]. T R + 1 = j = 0 ∑ R [ P t , c R , j ( y ; t ) ∂ y j ] .
Every coefficient occurring in these commutators is a linear combination of derivatives of c R , j c_{R,j} c R , j multiplied by smooth functions of y y y , and is therefore supported in supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ . We estimate the contributions from the three terms in P t P_t P t separately.
First, Leibniz’ rule gives
[ ∂ y 2 , c R , j ∂ y j ] = 2 c R , j ′ ∂ y j + 1 + c R , j ′ ′ ∂ y j . [\partial_y^2,c_{R,j}\partial_y^j]=2c_{R,j}'\partial_y^{j+1}+c_{R,j}''\partial_y^j. [ ∂ y 2 , c R , j ∂ y j ] = 2 c R , j ′ ∂ y j + 1 + c R , j ′′ ∂ y j .
Thus the first term contributes to c R + 1 , j + 1 c_{R+1,j+1} c R + 1 , j + 1 and the second to c R + 1 , j c_{R+1,j} c R + 1 , j . By the induction hypothesis, for every ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\ge0 ℓ ≥ 0 ,
∂ y ℓ c R , j ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j = t R + 1 − ( j + 1 ) , \partial_y^\ell c_{R,j}\ll_{\psi,R,\ell}t^{R-j}=t^{R+1-(j+1)}, ∂ y ℓ c R , j ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j = t R + 1 − ( j + 1 ) ,
while
∂ y ℓ c R , j ′ ′ ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j ≤ t R + 1 − j . \partial_y^\ell c_{R,j}''\ll_{\psi,R,\ell}t^{R-j}\leq t^{R+1-j}. ∂ y ℓ c R , j ′′ ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j ≤ t R + 1 − j .
Both contributions therefore satisfy the required coefficient bounds at their respective differential orders.
For the first-order term in P t P_t P t , a direct calculation gives
[ 1 y ∂ y , c R , j ∂ y j ] = c R , j ′ y ∂ y j − c R , j ∑ ν = 1 j ( − 1 ) ν ν ! ( j ν ) y − ν − 1 ∂ y j − ν + 1 . \left[\frac{1}{y}\partial_y,c_{R,j}\partial_y^j\right]=\frac{c_{R,j}'}{y}\partial_y^j-c_{R,j}\sum_{\nu=1}^{j}(-1)^\nu\nu!\binom{j}{\nu}y^{-\nu-1}\partial_y^{j-\nu+1}. [ y 1 ∂ y , c R , j ∂ y j ] = y c R , j ′ ∂ y j − c R , j ν = 1 ∑ j ( − 1 ) ν ν ! ( ν j ) y − ν − 1 ∂ y j − ν + 1 .
The first term contributes to c R + 1 , j c_{R+1,j} c R + 1 , j . A term indexed by ν \nu ν in the sum contributes to c R + 1 , k c_{R+1,k} c R + 1 , k with
k = j − ν + 1 ≤ j . k=j-\nu+1\leq j. k = j − ν + 1 ≤ j .
By Leibniz’ rule and the induction hypothesis, for every ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\geq0 ℓ ≥ 0 the ℓ \ell ℓ -th derivative of each of these coefficient contributions is
≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j ≤ t R + 1 − k . \ll_{\psi,R,\ell}t^{R-j}\leq t^{R+1-k}. ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j ≤ t R + 1 − k .
Finally,
[ t 2 y 2 , c R , j ∂ y j ] = − c R , j ∑ ν = 1 j ( − 1 ) ν ( ν + 1 ) ! ( j ν ) t 2 y − ν − 2 ∂ y j − ν . \left[\frac{t^2}{y^2},c_{R,j}\partial_y^j\right]=-c_{R,j}\sum_{\nu=1}^{j}(-1)^\nu(\nu+1)!\binom{j}{\nu}t^2y^{-\nu-2}\partial_y^{j-\nu}. [ y 2 t 2 , c R , j ∂ y j ] = − c R , j ν = 1 ∑ j ( − 1 ) ν ( ν + 1 )! ( ν j ) t 2 y − ν − 2 ∂ y j − ν .
A term indexed by ν \nu ν contributes to c R + 1 , k c_{R+1,k} c R + 1 , k with
k = j − ν ≤ j − 1. k=j-\nu\leq j-1. k = j − ν ≤ j − 1.
Again by Leibniz’ rule and the induction hypothesis, for every ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\geq0 ℓ ≥ 0 the ℓ \ell ℓ -th derivative of this contribution is
≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j + 2 . \ll_{\psi,R,\ell}t^{R-j+2}. ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R − j + 2 .
Since k ≤ j − 1 k\leq j-1 k ≤ j − 1 ,
R − j + 2 ≤ R + 1 − k , R-j+2\leq R+1-k, R − j + 2 ≤ R + 1 − k ,
so this is O ψ , R , ℓ ( t R + 1 − k ) O_{\psi,R,\ell}(t^{R+1-k}) O ψ , R , ℓ ( t R + 1 − k ) . The three commutators also show that T R + 1 T_{R+1} T R + 1 has differential order at most R + 1 R+1 R + 1 . For each fixed k k k , summing the finitely many contributions to the coefficient of ∂ y k \partial_y^k ∂ y k gives
∂ y ℓ c R + 1 , k ( y ; t ) ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R + 1 − k , \partial_y^\ell c_{R+1,k}(y;t) \ll_{\psi,R,\ell} t^{R+1-k}, ∂ y ℓ c R + 1 , k ( y ; t ) ≪ ψ , R , ℓ t R + 1 − k ,
for every ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\ge0 ℓ ≥ 0 . Together with the support property established above, this completes the induction.
Lemma 3.4. Let ψ ∈ C 0 ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) \psi\in C^\infty_0(0,\infty) ψ ∈ C 0 ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) and m , n ≪ ψ t m,n \ll_\psi t m , n ≪ ψ t . For every integer R ≥ 0 R \ge0 R ≥ 0 ,
e π t ∣ ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t ( 2 π m y ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) d y ∣ ≪ ψ , R t − 2 / 3 ( 1 + ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ t ) − R . (22) e^{\pi t}\left|\int_0^\infty\psi(y)K_{it}(2\pi my)K_{it}(2\pi ny)\,\mathrm{d}y\right| \ll_{\psi,R} t^{-2/3}\left(1+\frac{|m^2-n^2|}{t}\right)^{-R}. \tag*{(22)} e π t ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) K i t ( 2 π m y ) K i t ( 2 π n y ) d y ≪ ψ , R t − 2/3 ( 1 + t ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ ) − R . (22) Proof. Put λ n = ( 2 π n ) 2 \lambda_n=(2\pi n)^2 λ n = ( 2 π n ) 2 and let T R T_R T R be as in Lemma 3.3. Since
P t F n = λ n F n P_tF_n=\lambda_nF_n P t F n = λ n F n and the coefficients of T r T_r T r are supported in supp ψ \operatorname{supp}\psi supp ψ , the formal symmetry of P t P_t P t gives
⟨ T r + 1 F n , F m ⟩ = ⟨ P t T r F n , F m ⟩ − ⟨ T r P t F n , F m ⟩ = ⟨ T r F n , P t F m ⟩ − λ n ⟨ T r F n , F m ⟩ = ( λ m − λ n ) ⟨ T r F n , F m ⟩ . \begin{aligned}
\langle T_{r+1}F_n,F_m\rangle
&=\langle P_tT_rF_n,F_m\rangle-\langle T_rP_tF_n,F_m\rangle\\
&=\langle T_rF_n,P_tF_m\rangle-\lambda_n\langle T_rF_n,F_m\rangle\\
&=(\lambda_m-\lambda_n)\langle T_rF_n,F_m\rangle.
\end{aligned} ⟨ T r + 1 F n , F m ⟩ = ⟨ P t T r F n , F m ⟩ − ⟨ T r P t F n , F m ⟩ = ⟨ T r F n , P t F m ⟩ − λ n ⟨ T r F n , F m ⟩ = ( λ m − λ n ) ⟨ T r F n , F m ⟩ . Iterating this identity yields
( λ m − λ n ) R ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ = ⟨ T R F n , F m ⟩ , W ( y ) = ψ ( y ) y . (23) (\lambda_m-\lambda_n)^R\langle WF_n,F_m\rangle=\langle T_RF_n,F_m\rangle,\qquad W(y)=\frac{\psi(y)}{y}. \tag*{(23)} ( λ m − λ n ) R ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ = ⟨ T R F n , F m ⟩ , W ( y ) = y ψ ( y ) . (23) By Lemma 3.3 and (3.6),
∣ T R F n ′ ( y ) ∣ ≪ ψ , R ∑ j = 0 R t R − j t j − 1 / 3 ≪ ψ , R t R − 1 / 3 ( y ∈ supp ψ ) . |T_RF_n'(y)|\ll_{\psi,R}\sum_{j=0}^{R}t^{R-j}t^{j-1/3}\ll_{\psi,R}t^{R-1/3}\qquad(y\in\operatorname{supp}\psi). ∣ T R F n ′ ( y ) ∣ ≪ ψ , R j = 0 ∑ R t R − j t j − 1/3 ≪ ψ , R t R − 1/3 ( y ∈ supp ψ ) . Together with Lemma 3.1, this gives
∣ ⟨ T R F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ , R t R − 2 / 3 . (24) |\langle T_RF_n,F_m\rangle|\ll_{\psi,R}t^{R-2/3}. \tag*{(24)} ∣ ⟨ T R F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ , R t R − 2/3 . (24) Hence, for m ≠ n m\ne n m = n , (3.10) and (3.11) imply
∣ ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ , R t − 2 / 3 ( t ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ ) R . |\langle WF_n,F_m\rangle|\ll_{\psi,R}t^{-2/3}\left(\frac{t}{|m^2-n^2|}\right)^R. ∣ ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ , R t − 2/3 ( ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ t ) R . On the other hand, Lemma 3.1 gives
∣ ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ t − 2 / 3 . |\langle WF_n,F_m\rangle|\ll_\psi t^{-2/3}. ∣ ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ t − 2/3 . Combining these two estimates, and using ∣ λ m − λ n ∣ = ( 2 π ) 2 ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ |\lambda_m-\lambda_n|=(2\pi)^2|m^2-n^2| ∣ λ m − λ n ∣ = ( 2 π ) 2 ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ , we obtain
∣ ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ , R t − 2 / 3 ( 1 + ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ t ) − R . |\langle WF_n,F_m\rangle|\ll_{\psi,R}t^{-2/3}\left(1+\frac{|m^2-n^2|}{t}\right)^{-R}. ∣ ⟨ W F n , F m ⟩ ∣ ≪ ψ , R t − 2/3 ( 1 + t ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ ) − R . This proves (3.9).
The truncation error on a spectral interval
Define
E j s h i f t = 1 2 L j ∑ m ≠ n m , n ≤ C ψ T ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ > T 1 + ε λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) B m , n ( t j ) . \mathcal{E}^{\mathrm{shift}}_j=\frac{1}{2L_j}\sum_{\substack{m\ne n\\m,n\le C_\psi T\\|m^2-n^2|>T^{1+\varepsilon}}}\lambda_j(m)\lambda_j(n)B_{m,n}(t_j). E j shift = 2 L j 1 m = n m , n ≤ C ψ T ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ > T 1 + ε ∑ λ j ( m ) λ j ( n ) B m , n ( t j ) .
Lemma 3.5. Fix ε > 0 \varepsilon>0 ε > 0 in the definition of E j s h i f t \mathcal{E}^{\mathrm{shift}}_j E j shift . For every A > 0 A>0 A > 0 , uniformly for 1 ≤ U ≤ T 1\le U\le T 1 ≤ U ≤ T ,
∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U L j ∣ E j s h i f t ∣ 2 ≪ A , ψ , ε T − A . \sum_{\substack{j\ \mathrm{even}\\T<t_j\le T+U}}L_j|\mathcal{E}^{\mathrm{shift}}_j|^2\ll_{A,\psi,\varepsilon}T^{-A}. j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L j ∣ E j shift ∣ 2 ≪ A , ψ , ε T − A .
Proof. This is an immediate application of Lemma 3.4. □
By Lemmas 2.2 and 3.5 , we may restrict the off-diagonal sum to
m , n ≤ C ψ T , ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ ≤ T 1 + ε . m,n\le C_\psi T,\qquad|m^2-n^2|\le T^{1+\varepsilon}. m , n ≤ C ψ T , ∣ m 2 − n 2 ∣ ≤ T 1 + ε .
Applying (11) and writing m = d a m=da m = d a , n = d ( a + b ) n=d(a+b) n = d ( a + b ) gives
d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) = ∣ d 2 ( a + b ) 2 − d 2 a 2 ∣ ≪ T 1 + ε . (25) d^2b(2a+b)=|d^2(a+b)^2-d^2a^2|\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}. \tag*{(25)} d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) = ∣ d 2 ( a + b ) 2 − d 2 a 2 ∣ ≪ T 1 + ε . (25)
Bounds for the Bessel integral and its t t t -derivatives
We use the truncation established in § 3 , with the same parameter ε \varepsilon ε . Put
p = d a , q = d ( a + b ) , p=da,\qquad q=d(a+b), p = d a , q = d ( a + b ) ,
so that
q 2 − p 2 = d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) ≪ T 1 + ε . q^2-p^2=d^2b(2a+b)\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}. q 2 − p 2 = d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) ≪ T 1 + ε .
Our goal is the uniform spectral derivative estimate in Lemma 4.7, with Λ \Lambda Λ defined there:
∣ ∂ t r B p , q ( t ) ∣ ≪ r , ψ , ε log T T Λ ( q − p p , T ) r . |\partial_t^r B_{p,q}(t)|\ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon}\frac{\log T}{T}\Lambda\left(\frac{q-p}{p},T\right)^r. ∣ ∂ t r B p , q ( t ) ∣ ≪ r , ψ , ε T log T Λ ( p q − p , T ) r .
We begin by establishing the Fourier representation
B p , q ( t ) = 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . (26) B_{p,q}(t)=2(1+e^{-2\pi t})\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi. \tag*{(26)} B p , q ( t ) = 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . (26)
where, for ξ ≠ ± log ( q / p ) \xi\ne\pm\log(q/p) ξ = ± log ( q / p ) , we define
A p , q ( ξ ) : = ∫ R ψ ^ ( p sinh u + q sinh ( ξ − u ) ) d u \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi):=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\widehat{\psi}(p\sinh u+q\sinh(\xi-u))\,du A p , q ( ξ ) := ∫ R ψ ( p sinh u + q sinh ( ξ − u )) d u
with the convention
ψ ^ ( ζ ) = ∫ R ψ ( y ) e − 2 π i y ζ d y . \widehat{\psi}(\zeta)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\psi(y)e^{-2\pi iy\zeta}\,dy. ψ ( ζ ) = ∫ R ψ ( y ) e − 2 π i y ζ d y .
Then the analysis rests on the kernel A p , q ( ξ ) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi) A p , q ( ξ ) . Its integral representations change at the transition points
ξ = ± log ( q / p ) , \xi=\pm\log(q/p), ξ = ± log ( q / p ) ,
which separate the regimes of the kernel. We study its behaviour near these points as well as in their complement, before turning to the spectral derivatives of B p , q ( t ) B_{p,q}(t) B p , q ( t ) .
The function A p , q \mathcal{A}_{p,q} A p , q
We begin with a change of variables that describes the structure of A p , q \mathcal{A}_{p,q} A p , q .
Lemma 4.1. Let q > p q>p q > p , and put
ϑ = log ( q / p ) , D p , q ( ξ ) : = p 2 + q 2 − 2 p q cosh ξ . \vartheta=\log(q/p),\qquad D_{p,q}(\xi):=p^2+q^2-2pq\cosh\xi. ϑ = log ( q / p ) , D p , q ( ξ ) := p 2 + q 2 − 2 pq cosh ξ . Then
A p , q ( ξ ) = ∫ R ψ ^ ( s ) s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) d s , ∣ ξ ∣ < ϑ . (27) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{\widehat{\psi}(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+D_{p,q}(\xi)}}\,ds,\qquad|\xi|<\vartheta. \tag*{(27)} A p , q ( ξ ) = ∫ R s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) ψ ( s ) d s , ∣ ξ ∣ < ϑ . (27) A p , q ( ξ ) = 2 ∫ − D p , q ( ξ ) ∞ ψ ^ ( s ) s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) d s , ξ > ϑ . (28) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=2\int_{\sqrt{-D_{p,q}(\xi)}}^{\infty}\frac{\widehat{\psi}(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+D_{p,q}(\xi)}}\,ds,\qquad\xi>\vartheta. \tag*{(28)} A p , q ( ξ ) = 2 ∫ − D p , q ( ξ ) ∞ s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) ψ ( s ) d s , ξ > ϑ . (28) A p , q ( ξ ) = 2 ∫ − ∞ − − D p , q ( ξ ) ψ ^ ( s ) s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) d s , ξ < − ϑ . (29) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=2\int_{-\infty}^{-\sqrt{-D_{p,q}(\xi)}}\frac{\widehat{\psi}(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+D_{p,q}(\xi)}}\,ds,\qquad\xi<-\vartheta. \tag*{(29)} A p , q ( ξ ) = 2 ∫ − ∞ − − D p , q ( ξ ) s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) ψ ( s ) d s , ξ < − ϑ . (29) The square roots in (4.3)–(4.4) are positive on the domains of integration.
Proof. Put
F ξ ( u ) = p sinh u + q sinh ( ξ − u ) . F_\xi(u)=p\sinh u+q\sinh(\xi-u). F ξ ( u ) = p sinh u + q sinh ( ξ − u ) .
We can write
F ξ ( u ) = 1 2 { α ( ξ ) e u + β ( ξ ) e − u } , α ( ξ ) = p − q e − ξ , β ( ξ ) = q e ξ − p . F_\xi(u)=\frac{1}{2}\{\alpha(\xi)e^u+\beta(\xi)e^{-u}\},\qquad\alpha(\xi)=p-qe^{-\xi},\quad\beta(\xi)=qe^\xi-p. F ξ ( u ) = 2 1 { α ( ξ ) e u + β ( ξ ) e − u } , α ( ξ ) = p − q e − ξ , β ( ξ ) = q e ξ − p .
Then
∂ u F ξ ( u ) = 1 2 { α ( ξ ) e u − β ( ξ ) e − u } , \partial_uF_\xi(u)=\frac{1}{2}\{\alpha(\xi)e^u-\beta(\xi)e^{-u}\}, ∂ u F ξ ( u ) = 2 1 { α ( ξ ) e u − β ( ξ ) e − u } ,
and hence
{ ∂ u F ξ ( u ) } 2 − F ξ ( u ) 2 = − α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) = p 2 + q 2 − 2 p q cosh ξ = D p , q ( ξ ) . \{\partial_uF_\xi(u)\}^2-F_\xi(u)^2=-\alpha(\xi)\beta(\xi)=p^2+q^2-2pq\cosh\xi=D_{p,q}(\xi). { ∂ u F ξ ( u ) } 2 − F ξ ( u ) 2 = − α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) = p 2 + q 2 − 2 pq cosh ξ = D p , q ( ξ ) .
Thus
{ ∂ u F ξ ( u ) } 2 − F ξ ( u ) 2 = D p , q ( ξ ) . (30) \{\partial_uF_\xi(u)\}^2-F_\xi(u)^2=D_{p,q}(\xi). \tag*{(30)} { ∂ u F ξ ( u ) } 2 − F ξ ( u ) 2 = D p , q ( ξ ) . (30)
Also,
D p , q ( ξ ) = 4 p q sinh ϑ + ξ 2 sinh ϑ − ξ 2 . D_{p,q}(\xi)=4pq\sinh\frac{\vartheta+\xi}{2}\sinh\frac{\vartheta-\xi}{2}. D p , q ( ξ ) = 4 pq sinh 2 ϑ + ξ sinh 2 ϑ − ξ .
Thus D p , q D_{p,q} D p , q has simple zeros at ξ = ± ϑ \xi=\pm\vartheta ξ = ± ϑ , with
D p , q ′ ( ϑ ) = − ( q 2 − p 2 ) , D p , q ′ ( − ϑ ) = q 2 − p 2 . D'_{p,q}(\vartheta)=-(q^2-p^2),\qquad D'_{p,q}(-\vartheta)=q^2-p^2. D p , q ′ ( ϑ ) = − ( q 2 − p 2 ) , D p , q ′ ( − ϑ ) = q 2 − p 2 .
The points ξ = ± ϑ \xi=\pm\vartheta ξ = ± ϑ separate the region where F ξ F_\xi F ξ is monotone from the regions where it has a critical point.
Suppose first that ∣ ξ ∣ < ϑ |\xi|<\vartheta ∣ ξ ∣ < ϑ . Then
α ( ξ ) < 0 , β ( ξ ) > 0 , α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) < 0. \alpha(\xi)<0,\qquad\beta(\xi)>0,\qquad\alpha(\xi)\beta(\xi)<0. α ( ξ ) < 0 , β ( ξ ) > 0 , α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) < 0.
By (4.5),
∣ ∂ u F ξ ( u ) ∣ = F ξ ( u ) 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) > 0. |\partial_uF_\xi(u)|=\sqrt{F_\xi(u)^2+D_{p,q}(\xi)}>0. ∣ ∂ u F ξ ( u ) ∣ = F ξ ( u ) 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) > 0.
Moreover,
lim u → − ∞ F ξ ( u ) = + ∞ , lim u → + ∞ F ξ ( u ) = − ∞ . \lim_{u\to-\infty}F_\xi(u)=+\infty,\qquad\lim_{u\to+\infty}F_\xi(u)=-\infty. u → − ∞ lim F ξ ( u ) = + ∞ , u → + ∞ lim F ξ ( u ) = − ∞.
Thus F ξ F_{\xi} F ξ is strictly decreasing and maps R \mathbb{R} R bijectively onto R \mathbb{R} R . With s = F ξ ( u ) s=F_{\xi}(u) s = F ξ ( u ) ,
∣ d u ∣ = d s ∣ ∂ u F ξ ( u ) ∣ = d s s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) . |du|=\frac{ds}{|\partial_uF_{\xi}(u)|}=\frac{ds}{\sqrt{s^2+D_{p,q}(\xi)}}. ∣ d u ∣ = ∣ ∂ u F ξ ( u ) ∣ d s = s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) d s .
Substituting this into the integral defining A p , q ( ξ ) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi) A p , q ( ξ ) gives (4.2).
If ξ > ϑ \xi>\vartheta ξ > ϑ , then α ( ξ ) , β ( ξ ) > 0 \alpha(\xi),\beta(\xi)>0 α ( ξ ) , β ( ξ ) > 0 . The function F ξ F_{\xi} F ξ is positive and strictly convex, with a unique minimum at
e 2 u 0 = β ( ξ ) α ( ξ ) . e^{2u_0}=\frac{\beta(\xi)}{\alpha(\xi)}. e 2 u 0 = α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) .
At this point,
F ξ ( u 0 ) = α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) = − D p , q ( ξ ) . F_{\xi}(u_0)=\sqrt{\alpha(\xi)\beta(\xi)}=\sqrt{-D_{p,q}(\xi)}. F ξ ( u 0 ) = α ( ξ ) β ( ξ ) = − D p , q ( ξ ) .
Hence the range is [ − D p , q ( ξ ) , ∞ ) [\sqrt{-D_{p,q}(\xi)},\infty) [ − D p , q ( ξ ) , ∞ ) , and every value above the minimum has two preimages. On both branches the absolute Jacobian equals ( s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) ) − 1 / 2 (s^2+D_{p,q}(\xi))^{-1/2} ( s 2 + D p , q ( ξ ) ) − 1/2 , which gives (4.3).
If ξ < − ϑ \xi<-\vartheta ξ < − ϑ , then α ( ξ ) , β ( ξ ) < 0 \alpha(\xi),\beta(\xi)<0 α ( ξ ) , β ( ξ ) < 0 . The function is strictly concave, has maximum − − D p , q ( ξ ) -\sqrt{-D_{p,q}(\xi)} − − D p , q ( ξ ) , and has range ( − ∞ , − − D p , q ( ξ ) ] (-\infty,-\sqrt{-D_{p,q}(\xi)}] ( − ∞ , − − D p , q ( ξ ) ] . The same two-branch change of variables proves (4.4). All square roots are taken positive. □
The representations in Lemma 4.1 reduce the behaviour of A p , q \mathcal{A}_{p,q} A p , q near the zeros of D p , q D_{p,q} D p , q to the following model integrals.
Lemma 4.2. Let φ ∈ S ( R ) \varphi\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}) φ ∈ S ( R ) . For every h > 0 h>0 h > 0 , define
Φ 0 ( h ) = ∫ R φ ( s ) s 2 + h d s , \Phi_0(h)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{\varphi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds, Φ 0 ( h ) = ∫ R s 2 + h φ ( s ) d s , Φ + ( h ) = 2 ∫ h ∞ φ ( s ) s 2 − h d s , \Phi_+(h)=2\int_{\sqrt{h}}^{\infty}\frac{\varphi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2-h}}\,ds, Φ + ( h ) = 2 ∫ h ∞ s 2 − h φ ( s ) d s , Φ − ( h ) = 2 ∫ − ∞ − h φ ( s ) s 2 − h d s . \Phi_-(h)=2\int_{-\infty}^{-\sqrt{h}}\frac{\varphi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2-h}}\,ds. Φ − ( h ) = 2 ∫ − ∞ − h s 2 − h φ ( s ) d s . For every ν ∈ { 0 , + , − } \nu\in\{0,+,-\} ν ∈ { 0 , + , − } there are a constant c ν ( φ ) c_\nu(\varphi) c ν ( φ ) and a function R ν ∈ C ∞ ( ( 0 , ∞ ) ) R_\nu\in C^\infty((0,\infty)) R ν ∈ C ∞ (( 0 , ∞ )) such that
Φ ν ( h ) = − φ ( 0 ) log h + c ν ( φ ) + R ν ( h ) (31) \Phi_\nu(h)=-\varphi(0)\log h+c_\nu(\varphi)+R_\nu(h) \tag*{(31)} Φ ν ( h ) = − φ ( 0 ) log h + c ν ( φ ) + R ν ( h ) (31) and, for 0 < h ≤ 1 0<h\leq1 0 < h ≤ 1 and every fixed ℓ ≥ 0 \ell\geq0 ℓ ≥ 0 ,
∣ R ν ( ℓ ) ( h ) ∣ ≪ ℓ , φ h 1 / 2 − ℓ ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) . (32) |R_\nu^{(\ell)}(h)|\ll_{\ell,\varphi}h^{1/2-\ell}(1+|\log h|). \tag*{(32)} ∣ R ν ( ℓ ) ( h ) ∣ ≪ ℓ , φ h 1/2 − ℓ ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) . (32) For h > 1 h>1 h > 1 , Φ ± \Phi_\pm Φ ± and all their fixed h h h -derivatives are O N , ℓ , φ ( h − N ) O_{N,\ell,\varphi}(h^{-N}) O N , ℓ , φ ( h − N ) . If all moments ∫ R s k φ ( s ) d s \int_{\mathbb{R}}s^k\varphi(s)\,ds ∫ R s k φ ( s ) d s vanish, the same assertion holds for Φ 0 \Phi_0 Φ 0 .
Proof. We first prove (4.6)–(4.7) for 0 < h ≤ 1 / 2 0<h\leq1/2 0 < h ≤ 1/2 .
We begin with
Φ 0 ( h ) = ∫ R φ ( s ) s 2 + h d s . \Phi_0(h)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{\varphi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds. Φ 0 ( h ) = ∫ R s 2 + h φ ( s ) d s .
Choose an even χ ∈ C c ∞ ( ( − 2 , 2 ) ) \chi\in C^\infty_c((-2,2)) χ ∈ C c ∞ (( − 2 , 2 )) with χ = 1 \chi=1 χ = 1 on [ − 1 , 1 ] [-1,1] [ − 1 , 1 ] , and put
g ( s ) = φ ( s ) − φ ( 0 ) χ ( s ) . g(s)=\varphi(s)-\varphi(0)\chi(s). g ( s ) = φ ( s ) − φ ( 0 ) χ ( s ) .
Then g ( s ) = O φ ( ∣ s ∣ ) g(s) = O_{\varphi}(|s|) g ( s ) = O φ ( ∣ s ∣ ) near zero and
Φ 0 ( h ) = φ ( 0 ) ∫ R χ ( s ) s 2 + h d s + ∫ R g ( s ) s 2 + h d s . \Phi_0(h) = \varphi(0) \int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{\chi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds + \int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{g(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds. Φ 0 ( h ) = φ ( 0 ) ∫ R s 2 + h χ ( s ) d s + ∫ R s 2 + h g ( s ) d s .
Since χ = 1 \chi= 1 χ = 1 on [ − 1 , 1 ] [-1,1] [ − 1 , 1 ] ,
∫ R χ ( s ) s 2 + h d s = 2 ∫ 0 1 d s s 2 + h + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) s 2 + h d s = − log h + 2 log 2 + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ∣ s ∣ d s + 2 log 1 + 1 + h 2 + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ) d s , \begin{aligned}
\int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{\chi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds = 2\int_0^1 \frac{ds}{\sqrt{s^2+h}} + \int_{1\leq|s|\leq2} \frac{\chi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds \\
&= -\log h + 2\log2 + \int_{1\leq|s|\leq2} \frac{\chi(s)}{|s|}\,ds \\
&+ 2\log\frac{1+\sqrt{1+h}}{2} + \int_{1\leq|s|\leq2} \chi(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right)\,ds,
\end{aligned} ∫ R s 2 + h χ ( s ) d s = 2 ∫ 0 1 s 2 + h d s + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 s 2 + h χ ( s ) d s = − log h + 2 log 2 + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 ∣ s ∣ χ ( s ) d s + 2 log 2 1 + 1 + h + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 ) d s ,
where
2 ∫ 0 1 d s s 2 + h = 2 arsinh ( h − 1 / 2 ) = − log h + 2 log ( 1 + 1 + h ) . 2\int_0^1 \frac{ds}{\sqrt{s^2+h}} = 2\operatorname{arsinh}(h^{-1/2}) = -\log h + 2\log(1+\sqrt{1+h}). 2 ∫ 0 1 s 2 + h d s = 2 arsinh ( h − 1/2 ) = − log h + 2 log ( 1 + 1 + h ) .
Define
c 0 ( φ ) : = φ ( 0 ) ( 2 log 2 + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ∣ s ∣ d s ) + ∫ R g ( s ) ∣ s ∣ d s c_0(\varphi) := \varphi(0)\left(2\log2+\int_{1\leq|s|\leq2}\frac{\chi(s)}{|s|}\,ds\right)+\int_{\mathbb{R}}\frac{g(s)}{|s|}\,ds c 0 ( φ ) := φ ( 0 ) ( 2 log 2 + ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 ∣ s ∣ χ ( s ) d s ) + ∫ R ∣ s ∣ g ( s ) d s
and
R 0 ( h ) : = 2 φ ( 0 ) log 1 + 1 + h 2 + φ ( 0 ) ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ) d s + ∫ R g ( s ) ( 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ) d s . \begin{aligned}
R_0(h) := {}& 2\varphi(0)\log\frac{1+\sqrt{1+h}}{2} \\
&+ \varphi(0)\int_{1\leq|s|\leq2}\chi(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right)\,ds \\
&+ \int_{\mathbb{R}}g(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right)\,ds.
\end{aligned} R 0 ( h ) := 2 φ ( 0 ) log 2 1 + 1 + h + φ ( 0 ) ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 ) d s + ∫ R g ( s ) ( s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 ) d s .
Thus
Φ 0 ( h ) = − φ ( 0 ) log h + c 0 ( φ ) + R 0 ( h ) . \Phi_0(h)=-\varphi(0)\log h+c_0(\varphi)+R_0(h). Φ 0 ( h ) = − φ ( 0 ) log h + c 0 ( φ ) + R 0 ( h ) .
For 0 < h ≤ 1 / 2 0<h\leq1/2 0 < h ≤ 1/2 ,
log 1 + 1 + h 2 ≪ h , ∂ h ℓ log 1 + 1 + h 2 ≪ ℓ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) , \log\frac{1+\sqrt{1+h}}{2}\ll h,\qquad\partial_h^\ell\log\frac{1+\sqrt{1+h}}{2}\ll_\ell1\quad(\ell\geq1), log 2 1 + 1 + h ≪ h , ∂ h ℓ log 2 1 + 1 + h ≪ ℓ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) ,
and
∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ) d s ≪ χ h , \int_{1\leq|s|\leq2}\chi(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right)\,ds\ll_\chi h, ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 ) d s ≪ χ h ,
∂ h ℓ ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ) d s ≪ ℓ , χ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) . \partial_h^\ell\int_{1\leq|s|\leq2}\chi(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right)\,ds\ll_{\ell,\chi}1\quad(\ell\geq1). ∂ h ℓ ∫ 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 χ ( s ) ( s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 ) d s ≪ ℓ , χ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) .
For the last term, splitting at ∣ s ∣ = h |s|=\sqrt{h} ∣ s ∣ = h and using
∣ 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ∣ ≪ { ∣ s ∣ − 1 , ∣ s ∣ ≤ h , h ∣ s ∣ − 3 , ∣ s ∣ > h , \left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right|\ll
\begin{cases}
|s|^{-1}, & |s|\leq\sqrt{h},\\
h|s|^{-3}, & |s|>\sqrt{h},
\end{cases} s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 ≪ { ∣ s ∣ − 1 , h ∣ s ∣ − 3 , ∣ s ∣ ≤ h , ∣ s ∣ > h ,
gives
∫ R ∣ g ( s ) ∣ ∣ 1 s 2 + h − 1 ∣ s ∣ ∣ d s ≪ φ h 1 / 2 . \int_{\mathbb{R}} |g(s)|\left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}-\frac{1}{|s|}\right|\,ds \ll_{\varphi} h^{1/2}. ∫ R ∣ g ( s ) ∣ s 2 + h 1 − ∣ s ∣ 1 d s ≪ φ h 1/2 .
For every ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 , differentiation under the integral sign gives
∂ h ℓ ∫ R g ( s ) s 2 + h d s = c ℓ ∫ R g ( s ) ( s 2 + h ) − ℓ − 1 / 2 d s ≪ ℓ , φ h 1 / 2 − ℓ , \partial_h^\ell\int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{g(s)}{\sqrt{s^2+h}}\,ds
= c_\ell\int_{\mathbb{R}} g(s)(s^2+h)^{-\ell-1/2}\,ds
\ll_{\ell,\varphi} h^{1/2-\ell}, ∂ h ℓ ∫ R s 2 + h g ( s ) d s = c ℓ ∫ R g ( s ) ( s 2 + h ) − ℓ − 1/2 d s ≪ ℓ , φ h 1/2 − ℓ ,
where c ℓ c_\ell c ℓ depends only on ℓ \ell ℓ . Hence
∣ R 0 ( ℓ ) ( h ) ∣ ≪ ℓ , φ h 1 / 2 − ℓ ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) , 0 < h ≤ 1 / 2. \left|R_0^{(\ell)}(h)\right| \ll_{\ell,\varphi} h^{1/2-\ell}(1+|\log h|), \qquad0<h\le1/2. R 0 ( ℓ ) ( h ) ≪ ℓ , φ h 1/2 − ℓ ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) , 0 < h ≤ 1/2.
We next consider
Φ + ( h ) = 2 ∫ h ∞ φ ( s ) s 2 − h d s . \Phi_+(h)=2\int_{\sqrt{h}}^\infty\frac{\varphi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2-h}}\,ds. Φ + ( h ) = 2 ∫ h ∞ s 2 − h φ ( s ) d s .
On 0 ≤ s ≤ 1 0\le s\le1 0 ≤ s ≤ 1 , put
φ + ( s ) = { φ ( s ) − φ ( 0 ) s , s > 0 , φ ′ ( 0 ) , s = 0 , \varphi_+(s)=
\begin{cases}
\dfrac{\varphi(s)-\varphi(0)}{s}, & s>0,\\
\varphi'(0), & s=0,
\end{cases} φ + ( s ) = ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ s φ ( s ) − φ ( 0 ) , φ ′ ( 0 ) , s > 0 , s = 0 ,
so that φ + ∈ C ∞ ( [ 0 , 1 ] ) \varphi_+\in C^\infty([0,1]) φ + ∈ C ∞ ([ 0 , 1 ]) and φ ( s ) = φ ( 0 ) + s φ + ( s ) \varphi(s)=\varphi(0)+s\varphi_+(s) φ ( s ) = φ ( 0 ) + s φ + ( s ) . Splitting at s = 1 s=1 s = 1 and using u = s 2 − h u=\sqrt{s^2-h} u = s 2 − h gives
Φ + ( h ) = 2 φ ( 0 ) arccosh ( h − 1 / 2 ) + 2 ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) d u \Phi_+(h)=2\varphi(0)\operatorname{arccosh}(h^{-1/2})+2\int_0^{\sqrt{1-h}}\varphi_+\left(\sqrt{u^2+h}\right)\,du Φ + ( h ) = 2 φ ( 0 ) arccosh ( h − 1/2 ) + 2 ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) d u
+ 2 ∫ 1 ∞ φ ( s ) s 2 − h d s . \qquad+2\int_1^\infty\frac{\varphi(s)}{\sqrt{s^2-h}}\,ds. + 2 ∫ 1 ∞ s 2 − h φ ( s ) d s .
Since
2 arccosh ( h − 1 / 2 ) = − log h + 2 log 2 + 2 log 1 + 1 − h 2 , 2\operatorname{arccosh}(h^{-1/2})=-\log h+2\log2+2\log\frac{1+\sqrt{1-h}}{2}, 2 arccosh ( h − 1/2 ) = − log h + 2 log 2 + 2 log 2 1 + 1 − h ,
define
c + ( φ ) : = 2 φ ( 0 ) log 2 + 2 ∫ 0 1 φ + ( u ) d u + 2 ∫ 1 ∞ φ ( s ) s d s c_+(\varphi):=2\varphi(0)\log2+2\int_0^1\varphi_+(u)\,du+2\int_1^\infty\frac{\varphi(s)}{s}\,ds c + ( φ ) := 2 φ ( 0 ) log 2 + 2 ∫ 0 1 φ + ( u ) d u + 2 ∫ 1 ∞ s φ ( s ) d s
and
R + ( h ) : = 2 φ ( 0 ) log 1 + 1 − h 2 + 2 { ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) d u − ∫ 0 1 φ + ( u ) d u } R_+(h):=2\varphi(0)\log\frac{1+\sqrt{1-h}}{2}
+2\left\{\int_0^{\sqrt{1-h}}\varphi_+\left(\sqrt{u^2+h}\right)\,du-\int_0^1\varphi_+(u)\,du\right\} R + ( h ) := 2 φ ( 0 ) log 2 1 + 1 − h + 2 { ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) d u − ∫ 0 1 φ + ( u ) d u }
+ 2 ∫ 1 ∞ φ ( s ) ( 1 s 2 − h − 1 s ) d s . \qquad+2\int_1^\infty\varphi(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^2-h}}-\frac{1}{s}\right)\,ds. + 2 ∫ 1 ∞ φ ( s ) ( s 2 − h 1 − s 1 ) d s .
Then
Φ + ( h ) = − φ ( 0 ) log h + c + ( φ ) + R + ( h ) . \Phi_+(h)=-\varphi(0)\log h+c_+(\varphi)+R_+(h). Φ + ( h ) = − φ ( 0 ) log h + c + ( φ ) + R + ( h ) .
For 0 < h ≤ 1 / 2 0<h\le1/2 0 < h ≤ 1/2 ,
log 1 + 1 − h 2 ≪ h , ∂ h ℓ log 1 + 1 − h 2 ≪ ℓ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) , \log\frac{1+\sqrt{1-h}}{2}\ll h,\qquad
\partial_h^\ell\log\frac{1+\sqrt{1-h}}{2}\ll_\ell1\quad(\ell\ge1), log 2 1 + 1 − h ≪ h , ∂ h ℓ log 2 1 + 1 − h ≪ ℓ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) ,
and
∫ 1 ∞ ∣ φ ( s ) ∣ ∣ 1 s 2 − h − 1 s ∣ d s ≪ φ h , \int_{1}^{\infty} \left|\varphi(s)\right| \left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^{2}-h}}-\frac{1}{s}\right|\,ds \ll_{\varphi} h, ∫ 1 ∞ ∣ φ ( s ) ∣ s 2 − h 1 − s 1 d s ≪ φ h ,
∂ h ℓ ∫ 1 ∞ φ ( s ) ( 1 s 2 − h − 1 s ) d s ≪ ℓ , φ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) . \partial_{h}^{\ell}\int_{1}^{\infty}\varphi(s)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{s^{2}-h}}-\frac{1}{s}\right)\,ds \ll_{\ell,\varphi} 1 \qquad(\ell\ge1). ∂ h ℓ ∫ 1 ∞ φ ( s ) ( s 2 − h 1 − s 1 ) d s ≪ ℓ , φ 1 ( ℓ ≥ 1 ) .
Moreover,
∫ 0 1 − h ∣ φ + ( u 2 + h ) − φ + ( u ) ∣ d u + ∫ 1 − h 1 ∣ φ + ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ φ h ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) . \int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-h}}\left|\varphi_{+}\left(\sqrt{u^{2}+h}\right)-\varphi_{+}(u)\right|\,du+\int_{\sqrt{1-h}}^{1}\left|\varphi_{+}(u)\right|\,du\ll_{\varphi} h(1+|\log h|). ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) − φ + ( u ) d u + ∫ 1 − h 1 ∣ φ + ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ φ h ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) .
By Theorem 2.4, for ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 ,
∂ h ℓ φ + ( u 2 + h ) = ∑ k = 1 ℓ c ℓ , k φ + ( k ) ( u 2 + h ) ( u 2 + h ) k / 2 − ℓ , \partial_{h}^{\ell}\varphi_{+}\left(\sqrt{u^{2}+h}\right)=\sum_{k=1}^{\ell}c_{\ell,k}\varphi_{+}^{(k)}\left(\sqrt{u^{2}+h}\right)(u^{2}+h)^{k/2-\ell}, ∂ h ℓ φ + ( u 2 + h ) = k = 1 ∑ ℓ c ℓ , k φ + ( k ) ( u 2 + h ) ( u 2 + h ) k /2 − ℓ ,
where the constants c ℓ , k c_{\ell,k} c ℓ , k depend only on ℓ \ell ℓ and k k k . The terms from the moving endpoint are bounded, since u 2 + h = 1 u^{2}+h=1 u 2 + h = 1 there, and
∂ h ℓ ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) d u ≪ ℓ , φ { 1 + ∣ log h ∣ , ℓ = 1 , h 1 − ℓ , ℓ ≥ 2. \partial_{h}^{\ell}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-h}}\varphi_{+}\left(\sqrt{u^{2}+h}\right)\,du\ll_{\ell,\varphi}
\begin{cases}
1+|\log h|,&\ell=1,\\
h^{1-\ell},&\ell\ge2.
\end{cases} ∂ h ℓ ∫ 0 1 − h φ + ( u 2 + h ) d u ≪ ℓ , φ { 1 + ∣ log h ∣ , h 1 − ℓ , ℓ = 1 , ℓ ≥ 2.
Consequently,
∣ R + ( ℓ ) ( h ) ∣ ≪ ℓ , φ h 1 / 2 − ℓ ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) , 0 < h ≤ 1 / 2. \left|R_{+}^{(\ell)}(h)\right|\ll_{\ell,\varphi}h^{1/2-\ell}(1+|\log h|),\qquad0<h\le1/2. R + ( ℓ ) ( h ) ≪ ℓ , φ h 1/2 − ℓ ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) , 0 < h ≤ 1/2.
Replacing φ ( s ) \varphi(s) φ ( s ) by φ ( − s ) \varphi(-s) φ ( − s ) gives the same conclusion for R − ( h ) R_{-}(h) R − ( h ) . Since R 0 , R + , R − ∈ C ∞ ( ( 0 , ∞ ) ) R_{0},R_{+},R_{-}\in C^{\infty}((0,\infty)) R 0 , R + , R − ∈ C ∞ (( 0 , ∞ )) , their fixed derivatives are bounded on [ 1 / 2 , 1 ] [1/2,1] [ 1/2 , 1 ] . Thus (4.7) holds for 0 < h ≤ 1 0<h\le1 0 < h ≤ 1 .
It remains to consider h ≥ 1 h\ge1 h ≥ 1 . We have
Φ ± ( h ) = 2 ∫ 0 ∞ φ ( ± h cosh v ) d v . \Phi_{\pm}(h)=2\int_{0}^{\infty}\varphi(\pm\sqrt{h}\cosh v)\,dv. Φ ± ( h ) = 2 ∫ 0 ∞ φ ( ± h cosh v ) d v .
For ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 , Theorem 2.4 gives
∂ h ℓ φ ( ± h cosh v ) = ∑ k = 1 ℓ c ℓ , k ± h k / 2 − ℓ ( cosh v ) k φ ( k ) ( ± h cosh v ) . \partial_{h}^{\ell}\varphi(\pm\sqrt{h}\cosh v)=\sum_{k=1}^{\ell}c_{\ell,k}^{\pm}h^{k/2-\ell}(\cosh v)^{k}\varphi^{(k)}(\pm\sqrt{h}\cosh v). ∂ h ℓ φ ( ± h cosh v ) = k = 1 ∑ ℓ c ℓ , k ± h k /2 − ℓ ( cosh v ) k φ ( k ) ( ± h cosh v ) .
Together with the case ℓ = 0 \ell=0 ℓ = 0 , the Schwartz decay of φ \varphi φ yields
Φ ± ( ℓ ) ( h ) ≪ N , ℓ , φ h − N \Phi_{\pm}^{(\ell)}(h)\ll_{N,\ell,\varphi}h^{-N} Φ ± ( ℓ ) ( h ) ≪ N , ℓ , φ h − N
for every N > 0 N>0 N > 0 .
Finally,
Φ 0 ( ℓ ) ( h ) = c ℓ ∫ R φ ( s ) ( s 2 + h ) − ℓ − 1 / 2 d s . \Phi_{0}^{(\ell)}(h)=c_{\ell}\int_{\mathbb{R}}\varphi(s)(s^{2}+h)^{-\ell-1/2}\,ds. Φ 0 ( ℓ ) ( h ) = c ℓ ∫ R φ ( s ) ( s 2 + h ) − ℓ − 1/2 d s .
Assume that all moments of φ \varphi φ vanish. On ∣ s ∣ ≤ h / 2 |s|\le\sqrt{h}/2 ∣ s ∣ ≤ h /2 , expand the last factor to an arbitrarily high order in s 2 / h s^{2}/h s 2 / h . For every k ≥ 0 k\ge0 k ≥ 0 ,
∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ h / 2 s 2 k φ ( s ) d s = − ∫ ∣ s ∣ > h / 2 s 2 k φ ( s ) d s ≪ N , k , φ h − N . \int_{|s|\le\sqrt{h}/2}s^{2k}\varphi(s)\,ds=-\int_{|s|>\sqrt{h}/2}s^{2k}\varphi(s)\,ds\ll_{N,k,\varphi}h^{-N}. ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ h /2 s 2 k φ ( s ) d s = − ∫ ∣ s ∣ > h /2 s 2 k φ ( s ) d s ≪ N , k , φ h − N .
The expansion remainder and the range ∣ s ∣ > h / 2 |s| > \sqrt{h/2} ∣ s ∣ > h /2 are bounded in the same way by the Schwartz decay of φ \varphi φ . Therefore
Φ 0 ( ℓ ) ( h ) ≪ N , ℓ , φ h − N \Phi_0^{(\ell)}(h) \ll_{N,\ell,\varphi} h^{-N} Φ 0 ( ℓ ) ( h ) ≪ N , ℓ , φ h − N
for every N > 0 N > 0 N > 0 , completing the proof. □
In our application φ = ψ ^ \varphi= \widehat{\psi} φ = ψ . Since supp ψ ⋐ ( 0 , ∞ ) \operatorname{supp}\psi\Subset(0,\infty) supp ψ ⋐ ( 0 , ∞ ) , for every k ≥ 0 k \ge0 k ≥ 0 ,
∫ R s k ψ ^ ( s ) d s = ( 2 π i ) − k ψ ( k ) ( 0 ) = 0. \int_{\mathbb{R}} s^k\widehat{\psi}(s)\,\mathrm{d}s = (2\pi i)^{-k}\psi^{(k)}(0) = 0. ∫ R s k ψ ( s ) d s = ( 2 π i ) − k ψ ( k ) ( 0 ) = 0.
We first recall the definition of the total variation used in the next lemma. If I = [ α , β ] I=[\alpha,\beta] I = [ α , β ] and F : I → C F:I\to\mathbb{C} F : I → C , set
Var I ( F ) : = sup α = x 0 < ⋯ < x m = β ∑ k = 1 m ∣ F ( x k ) − F ( x k − 1 ) ∣ , \operatorname{Var}_{I}(F):=\sup_{\alpha=x_0<\cdots<x_m=\beta}\sum_{k=1}^{m}|F(x_k)-F(x_{k-1})|, Var I ( F ) := α = x 0 < ⋯ < x m = β sup k = 1 ∑ m ∣ F ( x k ) − F ( x k − 1 ) ∣ ,
where the supremum is over all finite partitions of I I I ; finite total variation means F ∈ B V ( I ) F\in BV(I) F ∈ B V ( I ) . Moreover, if F F F is absolutely continuous, then
Var I ( F ) = ∫ I ∣ F ′ ( x ) ∣ d x . \operatorname{Var}_{I}(F)=\int_I|F'(x)|\,\mathrm{d}x. Var I ( F ) = ∫ I ∣ F ′ ( x ) ∣ d x .
If h h h is monotone on I I I and G G G is absolutely continuous on h ( I ) h(I) h ( I ) , then
Var I ( G ∘ h ) ≤ ∫ h ( I ) ∣ G ′ ( u ) ∣ d u . (33) \operatorname{Var}_{I}(G\circ h)\leq\int_{h(I)}|G'(u)|\,\mathrm{d}u. \tag*{(33)} Var I ( G ∘ h ) ≤ ∫ h ( I ) ∣ G ′ ( u ) ∣ d u . (33)
Lemma 4.3. Assume q > p ≥ 1 q>p\geq1 q > p ≥ 1 , p , q ≪ T p,q\ll T p , q ≪ T , and 1 ≤ q 2 − p 2 ≪ T 1 + ε 1\leq q^2-p^2\ll T^{1+\varepsilon} 1 ≤ q 2 − p 2 ≪ T 1 + ε . For every fixed r ≥ 0 r\geq0 r ≥ 0 ,

(35) For σ ∈ { + , − } \sigma\in\{+,-\} σ ∈ { + , − } put
I σ = [ σ ϑ − 2 Δ , σ ϑ + 2 Δ ] . I_\sigma=[\sigma\vartheta-2\Delta,\sigma\vartheta+2\Delta]. I σ = [ σ ϑ − 2Δ , σ ϑ + 2Δ ] . There are explicitly constructed functions H σ ∈ B V ( I σ ) H_\sigma\in BV(I_\sigma) H σ ∈ B V ( I σ ) such that, for ξ ∈ I σ ∖ { ± ϑ } \xi\in I_\sigma\setminus\{\pm\vartheta\} ξ ∈ I σ ∖ { ± ϑ } ,
A p , q ( ξ ) = − ψ ^ ( 0 ) log ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ + H σ ( ξ ) , (36) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=-\widehat{\psi}(0)\log|\mathcal{D}_{p,q}(\xi)|+H_\sigma(\xi), \tag*{(36)} A p , q ( ξ ) = − ψ ( 0 ) log ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ + H σ ( ξ ) , (36) and
∥ H σ ∥ L ∞ ( I σ ) + Var I σ ( H σ ) ≪ ψ log T . (37) \|H_\sigma\|_{L^\infty(I_\sigma)}+\operatorname{Var}_{I_\sigma}(H_\sigma)\ll_\psi\log T. \tag*{(37)} ∥ H σ ∥ L ∞ ( I σ ) + Var I σ ( H σ ) ≪ ψ log T . (37)
Proof. Put
h ( ξ ) : = ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ , ν ( ξ ) = { − , ξ < − ϑ , 0 , ∣ ξ ∣ < ϑ , + , ξ > ϑ . h(\xi):=|\mathcal{D}_{p,q}(\xi)|,\qquad
\nu(\xi)=
\begin{cases}
-, & \xi<-\vartheta,\\
0, & |\xi|<\vartheta,\\
+, & \xi>\vartheta.
\end{cases} h ( ξ ) := ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ , ν ( ξ ) = ⎩ ⎨ ⎧ − , 0 , + , ξ < − ϑ , ∣ ξ ∣ < ϑ , ξ > ϑ .
We take φ = ψ ^ \varphi=\widehat{\psi} φ = ψ in Lemma 4.2. By Lemma 4.1,
A p , q ( ξ ) = Φ ν ( ξ ) ( h ( ξ ) ) , ξ ≠ ± ϑ . (38) \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=\Phi_{\nu(\xi)}(h(\xi)),\qquad\xi\neq\pm\vartheta. \tag*{(38)} A p , q ( ξ ) = Φ ν ( ξ ) ( h ( ξ )) , ξ = ± ϑ . (38)
Thus the proof follows the change of the single parameter h ( ξ ) h(\xi) h ( ξ ) as ξ \xi ξ moves along the real line. The zeros ± ϑ \pm\vartheta ± ϑ divide the line as indicated below; on each interval obtained by also splitting at 0 0 0 , h ( ξ ) h(\xi) h ( ξ ) is monotone.
Figure 1.
We first prove (4.11) and (4.12). On I + ∪ I − I_{+}\cup I_{-} I + ∪ I − we have ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + 1 / 2 |\xi|\leq\vartheta+1/2 ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + 1/2 and p , q ≪ T p,q\ll T p , q ≪ T ; hence
0 ≤ h ( ξ ) ≤ C T 2 0\leq h(\xi)\leq CT^{2} 0 ≤ h ( ξ ) ≤ C T 2
for a constant C C C depending only on the fixed support data. Thus, for these two assertions, it is enough to control the model functions on 0 < h ≤ C T 2 0<h\leq CT^{2} 0 < h ≤ C T 2 .
For ν ∈ { 0 , + , − } \nu\in\{0,+,-\} ν ∈ { 0 , + , − } define
F ν ( h ) : = Φ ν ( h ) + ψ ^ ( 0 ) log h . (39) F_{\nu}(h):=\Phi_{\nu}(h)+\widehat{\psi}(0)\log h. \tag*{(39)} F ν ( h ) := Φ ν ( h ) + ψ ( 0 ) log h . (39)
Lemma 4.2 gives
F ν ( h ) = c ν ( ψ ^ ) + R ν ( h ) , 0 < h ≤ 1 , F_{\nu}(h)=c_{\nu}(\widehat{\psi})+R_{\nu}(h),\qquad0<h\leq1, F ν ( h ) = c ν ( ψ ) + R ν ( h ) , 0 < h ≤ 1 ,
and therefore
∥ F ν ∥ L ∞ ( 0 , 1 ] + ∫ 0 1 ∣ F ν ′ ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ ψ 1. \lVert F_{\nu}\rVert_{L^{\infty}(0,1]}+\int_{0}^{1}|F_{\nu}'(u)|\,du\ll_{\psi}1. ∥ F ν ∥ L ∞ ( 0 , 1 ] + ∫ 0 1 ∣ F ν ′ ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ ψ 1.
For 1 ≤ h ≤ C T 2 1\leq h\leq CT^{2} 1 ≤ h ≤ C T 2 , the large-parameter estimates in Lemma 4.2 give
∣ F ν ( h ) ∣ ≪ ψ 1 + log h , ∣ F ν ′ ( h ) ∣ ≪ ψ h − 1 . |F_{\nu}(h)|\ll_{\psi}1+\log h,\qquad|F_{\nu}'(h)|\ll_{\psi}h^{-1}. ∣ F ν ( h ) ∣ ≪ ψ 1 + log h , ∣ F ν ′ ( h ) ∣ ≪ ψ h − 1 .
Hence
∥ F ν ∥ L ∞ ( 0 , C T 2 ] + ∫ 0 C T 2 ∣ F ν ′ ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ ψ log T . (40) \lVert F_{\nu}\rVert_{L^{\infty}(0,CT^{2}]}+\int_{0}^{CT^{2}}|F_{\nu}'(u)|\,du\ll_{\psi}\log T. \tag*{(40)} ∥ F ν ∥ L ∞ ( 0 , C T 2 ] + ∫ 0 C T 2 ∣ F ν ′ ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ ψ log T . (40)
Extend each F ν F_{\nu} F ν continuously to h = 0 h=0 h = 0 by setting F ν ( 0 ) = c ν ( ψ ^ ) F_{\nu}(0)=c_{\nu}(\widehat{\psi}) F ν ( 0 ) = c ν ( ψ ) . For σ ∈ { + , − } \sigma\in\{+,-\} σ ∈ { + , − } , define
H σ ( ξ ) : = F ν ( ξ ) ( h ( ξ ) ) , ξ ∈ I σ ∖ { ± ϑ } , H_{\sigma}(\xi):=F_{\nu(\xi)}(h(\xi)),\qquad\xi\in I_{\sigma}\setminus\{\pm\vartheta\}, H σ ( ξ ) := F ν ( ξ ) ( h ( ξ )) , ξ ∈ I σ ∖ { ± ϑ } ,
and at an interior zero choose its right-hand trace. At either endpoint of I σ I_{\sigma} I σ choose the trace from inside I σ I_{\sigma} I σ ; this convention also applies when an endpoint is a zero. These finite traces exist by (4.6)--(4.7). Thus H σ H_{\sigma} H σ is specified on the whole closed interval; a jump at a zero is allowed. Away from the zeros, (4.13) and (4.14) give
A p , q ( ξ ) = − ψ ^ ( 0 ) log h ( ξ ) + H σ ( ξ ) = − ψ ^ ( 0 ) log ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ + H σ ( ξ ) , \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=-\widehat{\psi}(0)\log h(\xi)+H_{\sigma}(\xi)=-\widehat{\psi}(0)\log|\mathcal{D}_{p,q}(\xi)|+H_{\sigma}(\xi), A p , q ( ξ ) = − ψ ( 0 ) log h ( ξ ) + H σ ( ξ ) = − ψ ( 0 ) log ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ + H σ ( ξ ) ,
which proves (4.11). This identity is only asserted away from the zeros, or equivalently almost everywhere on I σ I_{\sigma} I σ .
We next follow h ( ξ ) h(\xi) h ( ξ ) on I σ I_{\sigma} I σ . Partition I σ I_{\sigma} I σ at the points among − ϑ , 0 , ϑ -\vartheta,0,\vartheta − ϑ , 0 , ϑ that it contains. On each resulting interval J J J , ν ( ξ ) \nu(\xi) ν ( ξ ) is fixed and h ( ξ ) h(\xi) h ( ξ ) is monotone. Therefore (4.8) and (4.15) give
Var J ( H σ ) ≤ ∫ 0 C T 2 ∣ F ν ′ ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ ψ log T . \operatorname{Var}_{J}(H_{\sigma})\leq\int_{0}^{CT^{2}}|F_{\nu}'(u)|\,du\ll_{\psi}\log T. Var J ( H σ ) ≤ ∫ 0 C T 2 ∣ F ν ′ ( u ) ∣ d u ≪ ψ log T .
At ξ = ϑ \xi=\vartheta ξ = ϑ or − ϑ -\vartheta − ϑ , Lemma 4.2 gives F ν ( h ) → c ν ( ψ ^ ) F_{\nu}(h)\to c_{\nu}(\widehat{\psi}) F ν ( h ) → c ν ( ψ ) as h ↓ 0 h\downarrow0 h ↓ 0 . Thus crossing a zero adds only one of the finite jumps
∣ c + ( ψ ^ ) − c 0 ( ψ ^ ) ∣ , ∣ c − ( ψ ^ ) − c 0 ( ψ ^ ) ∣ . |c_{+}(\widehat{\psi})-c_{0}(\widehat{\psi})|,\qquad|c_{-}(\widehat{\psi})-c_{0}(\widehat{\psi})|. ∣ c + ( ψ ) − c 0 ( ψ ) ∣ , ∣ c − ( ψ ) − c 0 ( ψ ) ∣.
There are only finitely many pieces, so (37) follows. When I + I_{+} I + and I − I_{-} I − overlap, we split them at the points among − ϑ , 0 , ϑ -\vartheta,0,\vartheta − ϑ , 0 , ϑ . On each resulting interval, ν \nu ν is fixed and h h h is monotone, so the same variation estimate applies.
It remains to prove (35) . Throughout this part suppose
dist ( ξ , { ± ϑ } ) ≥ Δ . \operatorname{dist}(\xi,\{\pm\vartheta\})\ge\Delta. dist ( ξ , { ± ϑ }) ≥ Δ.
The factorisation of D p , q D_{p,q} D p , q gives
log h ( ξ ) = log ( 4 p q ) + log ∣ sinh ϑ + ξ 2 ∣ + log ∣ sinh ϑ − ξ 2 ∣ . \log h(\xi)=\log(4pq)+\log\left|\sinh\frac{\vartheta+\xi}{2}\right|+\log\left|\sinh\frac{\vartheta-\xi}{2}\right|. log h ( ξ ) = log ( 4 pq ) + log sinh 2 ϑ + ξ + log sinh 2 ϑ − ξ .
and hence, for every fixed ℓ ≥ 1 \ell\ge1 ℓ ≥ 1 ,
∣ ∂ ξ ℓ log h ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ ℓ Δ − ℓ . (41) \left|\partial_{\xi}^{\ell}\log h(\xi)\right|\ll_{\ell}\Delta^{-\ell}. \tag*{(41)} ∂ ξ ℓ log h ( ξ ) ≪ ℓ Δ − ℓ . (41)
On each interval determined by − ϑ , 0 , ϑ -\vartheta,0,\vartheta − ϑ , 0 , ϑ , the function h h h is smooth. Applying Theorem 2.4 to h = exp ( log h ) h=\exp(\log h) h = exp ( log h ) gives
∣ h ( ℓ ) ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ ℓ h ( ξ ) Δ − ℓ . (42) \left|h^{(\ell)}(\xi)\right|\ll_{\ell}h(\xi)\Delta^{-\ell}. \tag*{(42)} h ( ℓ ) ( ξ ) ≪ ℓ h ( ξ ) Δ − ℓ . (42)
We first treat 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 0<h(\xi)\le1 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 . By Lemma 4.2,
A p , q ( ξ ) = − ψ ^ ( 0 ) log h ( ξ ) + c ν ( ξ ) ( ψ ^ ) + R ν ( ξ ) ( h ( ξ ) ) . \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)=-\widehat{\psi}(0)\log h(\xi)+c_{\nu(\xi)}(\widehat{\psi})+R_{\nu(\xi)}(h(\xi)). A p , q ( ξ ) = − ψ ( 0 ) log h ( ξ ) + c ν ( ξ ) ( ψ ) + R ν ( ξ ) ( h ( ξ )) .
For j ≥ 1 j\ge1 j ≥ 1 , the logarithmic term is controlled by (41) . For the remainder, Theorem 2.4, (42) , and (32) show that every term in ∂ ξ j R ν ( h ( ξ ) ) \partial_{\xi}^{j}R_{\nu}(h(\xi)) ∂ ξ j R ν ( h ( ξ )) is bounded by
h ( ξ ) 1 / 2 − k ( 1 + ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ ) ∏ ℓ = 1 j ( h ( ξ ) Δ − ℓ ) m ℓ = h ( ξ ) 1 / 2 ( 1 + ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ ) Δ − j ≪ Δ − j , h(\xi)^{1/2-k}(1+|\log h(\xi)|)\prod_{\ell=1}^{j}(h(\xi)\Delta^{-\ell})^{m_{\ell}}=h(\xi)^{1/2}(1+|\log h(\xi)|)\Delta^{-j}\ll\Delta^{-j}, h ( ξ ) 1/2 − k ( 1 + ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ ) ℓ = 1 ∏ j ( h ( ξ ) Δ − ℓ ) m ℓ = h ( ξ ) 1/2 ( 1 + ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ ) Δ − j ≪ Δ − j ,
where k = ∑ ℓ = 1 j m ℓ k=\sum_{\ell=1}^{j}m_{\ell} k = ∑ ℓ = 1 j m ℓ and ∑ ℓ = 1 j ℓ m ℓ = j \sum_{\ell=1}^{j}\ell m_{\ell}=j ∑ ℓ = 1 j ℓ m ℓ = j . Hence, for every fixed j ≥ 1 j\ge1 j ≥ 1 ,
∣ ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ j , ψ Δ − j , 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1. (43) \left|\partial_{\xi}^{j}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\right|\ll_{j,\psi}\Delta^{-j},\qquad0<h(\xi)\le1. \tag*{(43)} ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ≪ j , ψ Δ − j , 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1. (43)
For j = 0 j=0 j = 0 , the small-h h h expansion instead gives
∣ A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ ψ 1 + ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ , 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 , (44) |\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)|\ll_{\psi}1+|\log h(\xi)|,\qquad0<h(\xi)\le1, \tag*{(44)} ∣ A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ ψ 1 + ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ , 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 , (44)
since h 1 / 2 ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) h^{1/2}(1+|\log h|) h 1/2 ( 1 + ∣ log h ∣ ) is bounded on ( 0 , 1 ] (0,1] ( 0 , 1 ] .
We next treat h ( ξ ) ≥ 1 h(\xi)\ge1 h ( ξ ) ≥ 1 . Using (38) directly, the large-h h h estimates of Lemma 4.2, (42) , and Theorem 2.4 give, for every fixed A > 0 A>0 A > 0 ,
∣ ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ A , j , ψ Δ − j h ( ξ ) − A . (45) \left|\partial_{\xi}^{j}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\right|\ll_{A,j,\psi}\Delta^{-j}h(\xi)^{-A}. \tag*{(45)} ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ≪ A , j , ψ Δ − j h ( ξ ) − A . (45)
It remains to integrate these bounds. We use the elementary inequality
h ( ξ ) = 2 p q ∣ cosh ξ − cosh ϑ ∣ ≥ p q ∣ ξ 2 − ϑ 2 ∣ ≥ ∣ ξ 2 − ϑ 2 ∣ . (46) h(\xi)=2pq|\cosh\xi-\cosh\vartheta|\ge pq|\xi^{2}-\vartheta^{2}|\ge|\xi^{2}-\vartheta^{2}|. \tag*{(46)} h ( ξ ) = 2 pq ∣ cosh ξ − cosh ϑ ∣ ≥ pq ∣ ξ 2 − ϑ 2 ∣ ≥ ∣ ξ 2 − ϑ 2 ∣. (46)
Indeed, ∣ cosh x − cosh y ∣ ≥ ∣ x 2 − y 2 ∣ / 2 |\cosh x-\cosh y|\ge|x^{2}-y^{2}|/2 ∣ cosh x − cosh y ∣ ≥ ∣ x 2 − y 2 ∣/2 for x , y ≥ 0 x,y\ge0 x , y ≥ 0 . For u > 0 u>0 u > 0 , it follows that
∣ { ξ : h ( ξ ) < u } ∣ ≤ ∣ { ξ : ∣ ξ 2 − ϑ 2 ∣ < u } ∣ ≤ 4 u . (47) |\{\xi:h(\xi)<u\}|\le|\{\xi:|\xi^{2}-\vartheta^{2}|<u\}|\le4\sqrt{u}. \tag*{(47)} ∣ { ξ : h ( ξ ) < u } ∣ ≤ ∣ { ξ : ∣ ξ 2 − ϑ 2 ∣ < u } ∣ ≤ 4 u . (47)
To see the last inequality, if ϑ 2 ≤ u \vartheta^{2}\le u ϑ 2 ≤ u the latter set has length at most 2 2 u 2\sqrt{2u} 2 2 u ; otherwise its length is 2 ( ϑ 2 + u − ϑ 2 − u ) ≤ 2 2 u 2(\sqrt{\vartheta^{2}+u}-\sqrt{\vartheta^{2}-u})\le2\sqrt{2u} 2 ( ϑ 2 + u − ϑ 2 − u ) ≤ 2 2 u . Moreover, h ( ξ ) < u h(\xi)<u h ( ξ ) < u implies ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + u |\xi|\le\vartheta+\sqrt{u} ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + u . On 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 0 < h(\xi) \le1 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 , these observations give ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + 1 |\xi| \le\vartheta+ 1 ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + 1 and a set of measure at most 4. For j ≥ 1 j \ge1 j ≥ 1 , (4.18) therefore yields
∫ 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 dist ( ξ , { ± ϑ } ) ≥ Δ ( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) N ∣ ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ d ξ ≪ j , N , ψ ( 1 + ϑ ) N Δ − j . \int_{\substack{0<h(\xi)\le1\\ \operatorname{dist}(\xi,\{\pm\vartheta\})\ge\Delta}} (1+|\xi|)^N \left|\partial_\xi^j \mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\right|\,d\xi\ll_{j,N,\psi} (1+\vartheta)^N \Delta^{-j}. ∫ 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 dist ( ξ , { ± ϑ }) ≥ Δ ( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) N ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ ≪ j , N , ψ ( 1 + ϑ ) N Δ − j .
For j = 0 j=0 j = 0 , the logarithmic term in (4.19) is integrable uniformly in p , q p,q p , q . Indeed, (4.22) gives
∫ { 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 } ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ d ξ = ∫ 0 ∞ ∣ { ξ : 0 < h ( ξ ) < e − v } ∣ d v ≤ 4 ∫ 0 ∞ e − v / 2 d v = 8. (48) \int_{\{0<h(\xi)\le1\}} |\log h(\xi)|\,d\xi
= \int_0^\infty\left|\{\xi:0<h(\xi)<e^{-v}\}\right|\,dv
\le4\int_0^\infty e^{-v/2}\,dv=8. \tag*{(48)} ∫ { 0 < h ( ξ ) ≤ 1 } ∣ log h ( ξ ) ∣ d ξ = ∫ 0 ∞ { ξ : 0 < h ( ξ ) < e − v } d v ≤ 4 ∫ 0 ∞ e − v /2 d v = 8. (48)
Together with (4.19), this proves the same weighted integral bound for j = 0 j=0 j = 0 (with Δ 0 = 1 \Delta^0=1 Δ 0 = 1 ).
For h ( ξ ) ≥ 1 h(\xi)\ge1 h ( ξ ) ≥ 1 , divide the domain into the sets Ω k = { ξ : 2 k ≤ h ( ξ ) < 2 k + 1 } \Omega_k=\{\xi:2^k\le h(\xi)<2^{k+1}\} Ω k = { ξ : 2 k ≤ h ( ξ ) < 2 k + 1 } , k ≥ 0 k\ge0 k ≥ 0 . By (4.22), ∣ Ω k ∣ ≤ 4 2 k + 1 ≪ 2 k / 2 |\Omega_k|\le4\sqrt{2^{k+1}}\ll2^{k/2} ∣ Ω k ∣ ≤ 4 2 k + 1 ≪ 2 k /2 . Moreover, (4.21) gives, for ξ ∈ Ω k \xi\in\Omega_k ξ ∈ Ω k ,
∣ ξ ∣ 2 ≤ ϑ 2 + h ( ξ ) < ϑ 2 + 2 k + 1 , ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + 2 ( k + 1 ) / 2 . |\xi|^2\le\vartheta^2+h(\xi)<\vartheta^2+2^{k+1},\qquad|\xi|\le\vartheta+2^{(k+1)/2}. ∣ ξ ∣ 2 ≤ ϑ 2 + h ( ξ ) < ϑ 2 + 2 k + 1 , ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ ϑ + 2 ( k + 1 ) /2 .
Consequently,
( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) N ≤ ( 1 + ϑ + 2 ( k + 1 ) / 2 ) N ≪ N ( 1 + ϑ ) N 2 k N / 2 . (1+|\xi|)^N\le(1+\vartheta+2^{(k+1)/2})^N\ll_N (1+\vartheta)^N2^{kN/2}. ( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) N ≤ ( 1 + ϑ + 2 ( k + 1 ) /2 ) N ≪ N ( 1 + ϑ ) N 2 k N /2 .
On Ω k \Omega_k Ω k , (4.20) also gives ∣ ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ B , j , ψ Δ − j 2 − k B |\partial_\xi^j\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)|\ll_{B,j,\psi}\Delta^{-j}2^{-kB} ∣ ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ ≪ B , j , ψ Δ − j 2 − k B . Thus, for any fixed B > ( N + 1 ) / 2 B>(N+1)/2 B > ( N + 1 ) /2 ,
∫ h ( ξ ) ≥ 1 dist ( ξ , { ± ϑ } ) ≥ Δ ( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) N ∣ ∂ ξ j A p , q ( ξ ) ∣ d ξ ≪ B , j , N , ψ ( 1 + ϑ ) N Δ − j ∑ k ≥ 0 2 k N / 2 2 k / 2 2 − k B ≪ j , N , ψ ( 1 + ϑ ) N Δ − j , \begin{aligned}

since the resulting geometric series converges. Combining the two ranges and using ϑ = log ( q / p ) ≪ ψ log T \vartheta=\log(q/p)\ll_\psi\log T ϑ = log ( q / p ) ≪ ψ log T proves (4.10) with the stated exponent N N N .
Finally, near ± ϑ \pm\vartheta ± ϑ the representation (4.11) is locally integrable, while for large h ( ξ ) h(\xi) h ( ξ ) the functions Φ ν ( h ( ξ ) ) \Phi_\nu(h(\xi)) Φ ν ( h ( ξ )) decay rapidly. This proves (4.9). If the two zero-neighbourhoods overlap, we partition at the points among − ϑ , 0 , ϑ -\vartheta,0,\vartheta − ϑ , 0 , ϑ . On each resulting interval, ν \nu ν is fixed and h h h is monotone, so the same bound applies. □

B p , q ( t ) = 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . (50) \mathcal{B}_{p,q}(t)=2(1+e^{-2\pi t})\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi. \tag*{(50)} B p , q ( t ) = 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . (50)

with an empty second line when r = 0 r=0 r = 0 .
Proof. For 0 < η < π / 2 0<\eta<\pi/2 0 < η < π /2 , shifting the standard integral representation
K i t ( x ) = 1 2 ∫ R e − x cosh z e i t z d z K_{it}(x)=\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{-x\cosh z}e^{itz}\,dz K i t ( x ) = 2 1 ∫ R e − x c o s h z e i t z d z
to ℑ z = π / 2 − η \Im z=\pi/2-\eta ℑ z = π /2 − η gives
2 e ( π / 2 − η ) t K i t ( x ) = ∫ R e − x sin η cosh u e i { t u − x cos η sinh u } d u . (52) 2e^{(\pi/2-\eta)t}K_{it}(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{-x\sin\eta\cosh u}e^{i\{tu-x\cos\eta\sinh u\}}\,du. \tag*{(52)} 2 e ( π /2 − η ) t K i t ( x ) = ∫ R e − x s i n η c o s h u e i { t u − x c o s η s i n h u } d u . (52)
Indeed, for fixed η > 0 \eta>0 η > 0 the vertical sides tend to zero as their real parts tend to infinity. Apply (52) with x = 2 π p y x=2\pi py x = 2 π p y and x = 2 π q y x=2\pi qy x = 2 π q y and insert the result into the definition of B p , q ( t ) \mathcal{B}_{p,q}(t) B p , q ( t ) . Since supp ψ ⊂ [ y 0 , y 1 ] ⋐ ( 0 , ∞ ) \operatorname{supp}\psi\subset[y_0,y_1]\Subset(0,\infty) supp ψ ⊂ [ y 0 , y 1 ] ⋐ ( 0 , ∞ ) , the resulting triple integral is absolutely convergent for every fixed η > 0 \eta>0 η > 0 . Thus Fubini’s theorem and the change of variables ξ = u + v \xi=u+v ξ = u + v give
B p , q ( t ) = P η ( t ) ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( η ) ( ξ ) d ξ , P η ( t ) : = 4 e − ( π − 2 η ) t cosh ( π t ) , (53) \mathcal{B}_{p,q}(t)=P_\eta(t)\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}^{(\eta)}(\xi)\,d\xi,\qquad P_\eta(t):=4e^{-(\pi-2\eta)t}\cosh(\pi t), \tag*{(53)} B p , q ( t ) = P η ( t ) ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( η ) ( ξ ) d ξ , P η ( t ) := 4 e − ( π − 2 η ) t cosh ( π t ) , (53)
where

\times e^{-2\pi iy\cos\eta\{p\sinh u+q\sinh(\xi-u)\}}\,dy\,du. A p , q ( η ) ( ξ ) := ∫ R ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − 2 π y s i n η { p c o s h u + q c o s h ( ξ − u )} × e − 2 π i y c o s η { p s i n h u + q s i n h ( ξ − u )} d y d u .
It remains to let η ↓ 0 \eta\downarrow0 η ↓ 0 . Take ϕ ∈ C ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) \phi\in C^\infty(0,\infty) ϕ ∈ C ∞ ( 0 , ∞ ) and put
Φ ( s ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ϕ ( t ) e i t s d t . \Phi(s)=\int_0^\infty\phi(t)e^{its}\,dt. Φ ( s ) = ∫ 0 ∞ ϕ ( t ) e i t s d t .
Then Φ \Phi Φ is Schwartz. Multiplying (4.28) by ϕ ( t ) P η ( t ) − 1 \phi(t)P_\eta(t)^{-1} ϕ ( t ) P η ( t ) − 1 and integrating in t t t gives
∫ 0 ∞ ϕ ( t ) P η ( t ) − 1 B p , q ( t ) d t = ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) A p , q ( η ) ( ξ ) d ξ . (54) \int_0^\infty\phi(t)P_\eta(t)^{-1}\mathcal{B}_{p,q}(t)\,dt

Write
F ξ ( u ) = p sinh u + q sinh ( ξ − u ) , F_\xi(u)=p\sinh u+q\sinh(\xi-u), F ξ ( u ) = p sinh u + q sinh ( ξ − u ) ,
and put
A η = 2 π sin η { p cosh u + q cosh ( ξ − u ) } , B η = 2 π cos η F ξ ( u ) . A_\eta=2\pi\sin\eta\{p\cosh u+q\cosh(\xi-u)\},\qquad B_\eta=2\pi\cos\eta F_\xi(u). A η = 2 π sin η { p cosh u + q cosh ( ξ − u )} , B η = 2 π cos η F ξ ( u ) .
Since supp ψ ⊂ [ y 0 , y 1 ] ⊂ ( 0 , ∞ ) \operatorname{supp}\psi\subset[y_0,y_1]\subset(0,\infty) supp ψ ⊂ [ y 0 , y 1 ] ⊂ ( 0 , ∞ ) , integration by parts M M M times in y y y gives, for every M ≥ 0 M\ge0 M ≥ 0 ,
∣ ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − A η y e − i B η y d y ∣ ≪ M , ψ ⟨ B η ⟩ − M . \left|\int_0^\infty\psi(y)e^{-A_\eta y}e^{-iB_\eta y}\,dy\right|
\ll_{M,\psi}\langle B_\eta\rangle^{-M}. ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − A η y e − i B η y d y ≪ M , ψ ⟨ B η ⟩ − M .
Indeed, differentiating ψ ( y ) e − A η y \psi(y)e^{-A_\eta y} ψ ( y ) e − A η y produces terms bounded by A η k e − A η y 0 A_\eta^k e^{-A_\eta y_0} A η k e − A η y 0 , and A η k e − A η y 0 ≪ k , y 0 1 A_\eta^k e^{-A_\eta y_0} \ll_{k,y_0} 1 A η k e − A η y 0 ≪ k , y 0 1 . Hence, uniformly for 0 < η ≤ η 0 < π / 2 0<\eta\leq\eta_0<\pi/2 0 < η ≤ η 0 < π /2 ,
∣ ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − 2 π y sin η { p cosh u + q cosh ( ξ − u ) } e − 2 π i y cos η F ξ ( u ) d y ∣ ≪ M , ψ , η 0 ⟨ F ξ ( u ) ⟩ − M ( M ≥ 0 ) , (55) \left|\int_0^\infty\psi(y)e^{-2\pi y\sin\eta\{p\cosh u+q\cosh(\xi-u)\}}e^{-2\pi i y\cos\eta F_\xi(u)}\,dy\right|\ll_{M,\psi,\eta_0}\langle F_\xi(u)\rangle^{-M}\qquad(M\geq0), \tag*{(55)} ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − 2 π y s i n η { p c o s h u + q c o s h ( ξ − u )} e − 2 π i y c o s η F ξ ( u ) d y ≪ M , ψ , η 0 ⟨ F ξ ( u ) ⟩ − M ( M ≥ 0 ) , (55)
since cos η ≥ cos η 0 > 0 \cos\eta\geq\cos\eta_0>0 cos η ≥ cos η 0 > 0 .
The constants in these estimates depend only on M M M , ψ \psi ψ , and η 0 \eta_0 η 0 , so the following majorant is a function of a single real variable. Choose constants C M C_M C M for which the right-hand side of (55) is bounded by C M ⟨ F ξ ( u ) ⟩ − M C_M\langle F_\xi(u)\rangle^{-M} C M ⟨ F ξ ( u ) ⟩ − M , and put
g ( s ) : = inf M ≥ 0 C M ⟨ s ⟩ − M . g(s):=\inf_{M\geq0} C_M\langle s\rangle^{-M}. g ( s ) := M ≥ 0 inf C M ⟨ s ⟩ − M .
Then g g g is upper semicontinuous, g ( s ) ≪ M ⟨ s ⟩ − M g(s)\ll_M\langle s\rangle^{-M} g ( s ) ≪ M ⟨ s ⟩ − M for every M M M , and (55) is bounded by g ( F ξ ( u ) ) g(F_\xi(u)) g ( F ξ ( u )) . By Lemma 2.5, there is a nonnegative ρ ∈ S ( R ) \rho\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}) ρ ∈ S ( R ) , depending only on ψ \psi ψ and η 0 \eta_0 η 0 , such that g ≤ ρ g\leq\rho g ≤ ρ . Thus
∣ ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − 2 π y sin η { p cosh u + q cosh ( ξ − u ) } e − 2 π i y cos η F ξ ( u ) d y ∣ ≤ ρ ( F ξ ( u ) ) . (56) \left|\int_0^\infty\psi(y)e^{-2\pi y\sin\eta\{p\cosh u+q\cosh(\xi-u)\}}e^{-2\pi i y\cos\eta F_\xi(u)}\,dy\right|\leq\rho(F_\xi(u)). \tag*{(56)} ∫ 0 ∞ ψ ( y ) e − 2 π y s i n η { p c o s h u + q c o s h ( ξ − u )} e − 2 π i y c o s η F ξ ( u ) d y ≤ ρ ( F ξ ( u )) . (56)
By Lemmas 4.1 and 4.2, applied with φ = ρ \varphi=\rho φ = ρ ,
ξ ⟼ ∫ R ρ ( F ξ ( u ) ) d u \xi\longmapsto\int_{\mathbb{R}}\rho(F_\xi(u))\,du ξ ⟼ ∫ R ρ ( F ξ ( u )) d u
is locally integrable, with at most logarithmic singularities at ξ = ± ϑ \xi=\pm\vartheta ξ = ± ϑ , and has rapid decay as ∣ ξ ∣ → ∞ |\xi|\to\infty ∣ ξ ∣ → ∞ . Since Φ \Phi Φ is Schwartz,
∫ R ∣ Φ ( ξ ) ∣ ( ∫ R ρ ( F ξ ( u ) ) d u ) d ξ < ∞ . \int_{\mathbb{R}}|\Phi(\xi)|\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}}\rho(F_\xi(u))\,du\right)d\xi<\infty. ∫ R ∣Φ ( ξ ) ∣ ( ∫ R ρ ( F ξ ( u )) d u ) d ξ < ∞.
Thus (56) gives an η \eta η -independent integrable majorant in (54) . Dominated convergence yields
lim η → 0 ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) A p , q ( η ) ( ξ ) d ξ = ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) ( ∫ R ψ ^ ( F ξ ( u ) ) d u ) d ξ = ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . (57) \lim_{\eta\to0}\int_{\mathbb{R}}\Phi(\xi)\mathcal{A}_{p,q}^{(\eta)}(\xi)\,d\xi
=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\Phi(\xi)\left(\int_{\mathbb{R}}\widehat{\psi}(F_\xi(u))\,du\right)d\xi
=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\Phi(\xi)\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi. \tag*{(57)} η → 0 lim ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) A p , q ( η ) ( ξ ) d ξ = ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) ( ∫ R ψ ( F ξ ( u )) d u ) d ξ = ∫ R Φ ( ξ ) A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . (57)
Since P η − 1 → P 0 − 1 P_\eta^{-1}\to P_0^{-1} P η − 1 → P 0 − 1 uniformly on supp φ \operatorname{supp}\varphi supp φ , with P 0 ( t ) = 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) P_0(t)=2(1+e^{-2\pi t}) P 0 ( t ) = 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) , equations (54) and (57) give
B p , q ( t ) P 0 ( t ) = ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ \frac{\mathcal{B}_{p,q}(t)}{P_0(t)}=\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi P 0 ( t ) B p , q ( t ) = ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ
in the distributional sense on ( 0 , ∞ ) (0,\infty) ( 0 , ∞ ) . By (49) with m = 0 m=0 m = 0 , the Fourier integral on the right is continuous; the left-hand side is continuous as well. Thus the identity holds pointwise, proving (50) .
Finally, (49) permits differentiation under the integral:
d m d t m ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ = ∫ R ( i ξ ) m e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . \frac{d^m}{dt^m}\int_{\mathbb{R}}e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi
=\int_{\mathbb{R}}(i\xi)^m e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi. d t m d m ∫ R e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ = ∫ R ( i ξ ) m e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ .
Applying Leibniz’ rule to (50) gives (51) . □

We first estimate the two terms supported near the zeros ± ϑ \pm\vartheta ± ϑ . There we use the local logarithmic representation (36) : the singular logarithm is treated directly, while the remaining term is handled by the BV estimate (37) . Suppose first that the two Δ \Delta Δ -neighbourhoods are separated, so that
ϑ ≥ 4 Δ , ξ = ϑ + s , ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ . \vartheta\ge4\Delta,\qquad\xi=\vartheta+s,\qquad|s|\le2\Delta. ϑ ≥ 4Δ , ξ = ϑ + s , ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ.
Using

we obtain

where
b + ( s ) = log ( 2 ∣ sinh ( s / 2 ) ∣ ∣ s ∣ ) + log ( sinh ( ϑ + s / 2 ) sinh ϑ ) , b_{+}(s)=\log\left(\frac{2|\sinh(s/2)|}{|s|}\right)+\log\left(\frac{\sinh(\vartheta+s/2)}{\sinh\vartheta}\right), b + ( s ) = log ( ∣ s ∣ 2∣ sinh ( s /2 ) ∣ ) + log ( sinh ϑ sinh ( ϑ + s /2 ) ) ,
with b + ( 0 ) = 0 b_{+}(0)=0 b + ( 0 ) = 0 . Thus
log ∣ D p , q ( ϑ + s ) ∣ = log ( q 2 − p 2 ) + log ∣ s ∣ + b + ( s ) . \log|D_{p,q}(\vartheta+s)|=\log(q^2-p^2)+\log|s|+b_{+}(s). log ∣ D p , q ( ϑ + s ) ∣ = log ( q 2 − p 2 ) + log ∣ s ∣ + b + ( s ) .

b + , 1 ( s ) = log ( 2 ∣ sinh ( s / 2 ) ∣ ∣ s ∣ ) , b + , 2 ( s ) = log ( sinh ( ϑ + s / 2 ) sinh ϑ ) . b_{+,1}(s)=\log\left(\frac{2|\sinh(s/2)|}{|s|}\right),\qquad b_{+,2}(s)=\log\left(\frac{\sinh(\vartheta+s/2)}{\sinh\vartheta}\right). b + , 1 ( s ) = log ( ∣ s ∣ 2∣ sinh ( s /2 ) ∣ ) , b + , 2 ( s ) = log ( sinh ϑ sinh ( ϑ + s /2 ) ) .
On ∣ s ∣ ≤ 1 / 2 |s|\le1/2 ∣ s ∣ ≤ 1/2 ,
b + , 1 ( s ) = O ( s 2 ) , b + , 1 ′ ( s ) = O ( ∣ s ∣ ) . b_{+,1}(s)=O(s^2),\qquad b'_{+,1}(s)=O(|s|). b + , 1 ( s ) = O ( s 2 ) , b + , 1 ′ ( s ) = O ( ∣ s ∣ ) .
Moreover,
b + , 2 ′ ( s ) = 1 2 coth ( ϑ + s / 2 ) . b'_{+,2}(s)=\frac{1}{2}\coth(\vartheta+s/2). b + , 2 ′ ( s ) = 2 1 coth ( ϑ + s /2 ) .
Since
ϑ + s / 2 ≥ ϑ − Δ ≥ 3 4 ϑ , \vartheta+s/2\ge\vartheta-\Delta\ge\frac{3}{4}\vartheta, ϑ + s /2 ≥ ϑ − Δ ≥ 4 3 ϑ ,
if 0 < ϑ ≤ 1 0<\vartheta\le1 0 < ϑ ≤ 1 , then
∣ b + , 2 ′ ( s ) ∣ ≪ ϑ − 1 , ∣ b + , 2 ( s ) ∣ ≪ Δ ϑ ≪ 1. |b'_{+,2}(s)|\ll\vartheta^{-1},\qquad|b_{+,2}(s)|\ll\frac{\Delta}{\vartheta}\ll1. ∣ b + , 2 ′ ( s ) ∣ ≪ ϑ − 1 , ∣ b + , 2 ( s ) ∣ ≪ ϑ Δ ≪ 1.
If ϑ > 1 \vartheta>1 ϑ > 1 , the hyperbolic cotangent is bounded, and the same conclusion follows. Therefore
∥ b + ∥ L ∞ ( ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ ) + Δ ∥ b + ′ ∥ L ∞ ( ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ ) ≪ 1. (62) \|b_{+}\|_{L^\infty(|s|\le2\Delta)}+\Delta\|b'_{+}\|_{L^\infty(|s|\le2\Delta)}\ll1. \tag*{(62)} ∥ b + ∥ L ∞ ( ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ ) + Δ∥ b + ′ ∥ L ∞ ( ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ ) ≪ 1. (62)
At the zero − ϑ -\vartheta − ϑ , write s = ξ + ϑ s=\xi+\vartheta s = ξ + ϑ . Evenness of D p , q D_{p,q} D p , q gives the same formula and estimate, with b − ( s ) = b + ( − s ) b_{-}(s)=b_{+}(-s) b − ( s ) = b + ( − s ) .
We now estimate the contribution of these two neighbourhoods. On the support of either η + \eta_{+} η + or η − \eta_{-} η − ,
∣ ξ ∣ r ≤ C r ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (63) |\xi|^r\le C_r(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. \tag*{(63)} ∣ ξ ∣ r ≤ C r ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (63)
If
m r , + ( s ) = ( i ( ϑ + s ) ) r η + ( ϑ + s ) , m_{r,+}(s)=\bigl(i(\vartheta+s)\bigr)^r\eta_{+}(\vartheta+s), m r , + ( s ) = ( i ( ϑ + s ) ) r η + ( ϑ + s ) ,
then
∥ m r , + ∥ ∞ + Δ ∥ m r , + ′ ∥ ∞ ≪ r ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (64) \|m_{r,+}\|_\infty+\Delta\|m'_{r,+}\|_\infty\ll_r(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. \tag*{(64)} ∥ m r , + ∥ ∞ + Δ∥ m r , + ′ ∥ ∞ ≪ r ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (64)
The same estimate holds near the zero − ϑ -\vartheta − ϑ .
Let c ∈ C 1 ( [ − 2 Δ , 2 Δ ] ) c\in C^1([-2\Delta,2\Delta]) c ∈ C 1 ([ − 2Δ , 2Δ ]) . On ∣ s ∣ ≤ t − 1 |s|\le t^{-1} ∣ s ∣ ≤ t − 1 ,
∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ t − 1 ∣ log ∣ s ∣ ∣ d s = 2 t − 1 ( 1 + log t ) ≪ t − 1 log ( 2 + t ) . \int_{|s|\le t^{-1}}|\log|s||\,ds=2t^{-1}(1+\log t)\ll t^{-1}\log(2+t). ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ t − 1 ∣ log ∣ s ∣∣ d s = 2 t − 1 ( 1 + log t ) ≪ t − 1 log ( 2 + t ) .
On the two intervals t − 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ t^{-1} \leq|s| \leq2\Delta t − 1 ≤ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ , integration by parts yields
∫ e i t s log ∣ s ∣ c ( s ) d s = e i t s log ∣ s ∣ c ( s ) i t − 1 i t ∫ e i t s ( c ( s ) s + log ∣ s ∣ c ′ ( s ) ) d s . \int e^{its}\log|s|c(s)\,ds = \frac{e^{its}\log|s|c(s)}{it} - \frac{1}{it}\int e^{its}\left(\frac{c(s)}{s}+\log|s|c'(s)\right)\,ds. ∫ e i t s log ∣ s ∣ c ( s ) d s = i t e i t s log ∣ s ∣ c ( s ) − i t 1 ∫ e i t s ( s c ( s ) + log ∣ s ∣ c ′ ( s ) ) d s .
Hence
∣ ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ e i t s log ∣ s ∣ c ( s ) d s ∣ ≪ t − 1 log ( 2 + t ) { ∥ c ∥ ∞ + Δ ∥ c ′ ∥ ∞ } . (65) \left|\int_{|s|\leq2\Delta} e^{its}\log|s|c(s)\,ds\right| \ll t^{-1}\log(2+t)\{\|c\|_{\infty}+\Delta\|c'\|_{\infty}\}. \tag*{(65)} ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ e i t s log ∣ s ∣ c ( s ) d s ≪ t − 1 log ( 2 + t ) { ∥ c ∥ ∞ + Δ∥ c ′ ∥ ∞ } . (65)
Apply (36) . At the zero ϑ \vartheta ϑ put
H + ( s ) = H ( ϑ + s ) , ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ . \mathcal{H}_{+}(s)=H(\vartheta+s), \qquad|s|\leq2\Delta. H + ( s ) = H ( ϑ + s ) , ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ.
Translation invariance of total variation, (37) , (64) , and Lemma 4.5 give
∣ ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ e i t s m r , + ( s ) H + ( s ) d s ∣ ≪ 1 t { ∥ m r , + ∥ ∞ + Δ ∥ m r , + ′ ∥ ∞ } { ∥ H + ∥ ∞ + Var + ( H + ) } \begin{aligned}
\left|\int_{|s|\leq2\Delta}e^{its}m_{r,+}(s)\mathcal{H}_{+}(s)\,ds\right| \\
&\ll\frac{1}{t}\{\|m_{r,+}\|_{\infty}+\Delta\|m'_{r,+}\|_{\infty}\}\{\|H_{+}\|_{\infty}+\operatorname{Var}_{+}(H_{+})\}
\end{aligned} ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ e i t s m r , + ( s ) H + ( s ) d s ≪ t 1 { ∥ m r , + ∥ ∞ + Δ∥ m r , + ′ ∥ ∞ } { ∥ H + ∥ ∞ + Var + ( H + )}
≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon} T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. ≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r .
The term log ∣ s ∣ \log|s| log ∣ s ∣ is controlled by (65) and (64) .
Since m r , + ( ± 2 Δ ) = 0 m_{r,+}(\pm2\Delta)=0 m r , + ( ± 2Δ ) = 0 , one ordinary integration by parts gives
∣ ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ e i t s m r , + ( s ) { log ( q 2 − p 2 ) + b + ( s ) } d s ∣ ≤ 1 t ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2 Δ ∣ d d s [ m r , + ( s ) { log ( q 2 − p 2 ) + b + ( s ) } ] ∣ d s ≪ 1 t [ Δ ∥ m r , + ′ ∥ ∞ { log T + ∥ b + ∥ ∞ } + Δ ∥ m r , + ∥ ∞ ∥ b + ′ ∥ ∞ ] \begin{aligned}
\left|\int_{|s|\leq2\Delta}e^{its}m_{r,+}(s)\{\log(q^2-p^2)+b_{+}(s)\}\,ds\right| \\
&\leq\frac{1}{t}\int_{|s|\leq2\Delta}\left|\frac{d}{ds}\left[m_{r,+}(s)\{\log(q^2-p^2)+b_{+}(s)\}\right]\right|\,ds \\
&\ll\frac{1}{t}\left[\Delta\|m'_{r,+}\|_{\infty}\{\log T+\|b_{+}\|_{\infty}\}+\Delta\|m_{r,+}\|_{\infty}\|b'_{+}\|_{\infty}\right]
\end{aligned} ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ e i t s m r , + ( s ) { log ( q 2 − p 2 ) + b + ( s )} d s ≤ t 1 ∫ ∣ s ∣ ≤ 2Δ d s d [ m r , + ( s ) { log ( q 2 − p 2 ) + b + ( s )} ] d s ≪ t 1 [ Δ∥ m r , + ′ ∥ ∞ { log T + ∥ b + ∥ ∞ } + Δ∥ m r , + ∥ ∞ ∥ b + ′ ∥ ∞ ]
≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon} T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. ≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r .
Here
1 ≤ q 2 − p 2 ≪ T 1 + ε , ∣ log ( q 2 − p 2 ) ∣ ≪ ε log T , 1\leq q^2-p^2\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}, \qquad|\log(q^2-p^2)|\ll_{\varepsilon}\log T, 1 ≤ q 2 − p 2 ≪ T 1 + ε , ∣ log ( q 2 − p 2 ) ∣ ≪ ε log T ,
and (62) were used. The argument at the zero − ϑ -\vartheta − ϑ is identical.
It remains to treat the case in which the two Δ \Delta Δ -neighbourhoods overlap. If ϑ < 4 Δ \vartheta<4\Delta ϑ < 4Δ , the second zero is not absorbed into b + b_{+} b + . Instead,
log ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ = log ( 4 p q ) + log ∣ sinh ξ + ϑ 2 ∣ + log ∣ sinh ξ − ϑ 2 ∣ . \log|\mathcal{D}_{p,q}(\xi)|=\log(4pq)+\log\left|\sinh\frac{\xi+\vartheta}{2}\right|+\log\left|\sinh\frac{\xi-\vartheta}{2}\right|. log ∣ D p , q ( ξ ) ∣ = log ( 4 pq ) + log sinh 2 ξ + ϑ + log sinh 2 ξ − ϑ .
Both zeros lie in ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ 4 Δ |\xi|\leq4\Delta ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ 4Δ , and the support of η + + η − \eta_{+}+\eta_{-} η + + η − lies in ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ 6 Δ |\xi|\leq6\Delta ∣ ξ ∣ ≤ 6Δ . Write
log ∣ sinh ξ − ξ 0 2 ∣ = log ∣ ξ − ξ 0 ∣ + log ∣ sinh ( ( ξ − ξ 0 ) / 2 ) ξ − ξ 0 ∣ , ξ 0 = ± ϑ . \log\left|\sinh\frac{\xi-\xi_{0}}{2}\right|=\log|\xi-\xi_{0}|+\log\left|\frac{\sinh((\xi-\xi_{0})/2)}{\xi-\xi_{0}}\right|,\qquad\xi_{0}=\pm\vartheta. log sinh 2 ξ − ξ 0 = log ∣ ξ − ξ 0 ∣ + log ξ − ξ 0 sinh (( ξ − ξ 0 ) /2 ) , ξ 0 = ± ϑ .
The second term and its first derivative are uniformly bounded, while the first is handled by (65) . Together with (63) and the BV estimate, this gives
T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r .
Thus
∣ ∫ e i t ξ ( i ξ ) r ( η + + η − ) A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ ∣ ≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (66) \left|\int e^{it\xi}(i\xi)^r(\eta_+ + \eta_-)\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi\right| \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon} T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. \tag*{(66)} ∫ e i t ξ ( i ξ ) r ( η + + η − ) A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ ≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (66)
We now turn to the complementary term containing η 0 \eta_0 η 0 . On its support we are a distance ≫ Δ \gg\Delta ≫ Δ from both zeros, so the weighted L 1 L^1 L 1 derivative estimate (35) can be combined with repeated integration by parts. Leibniz’ formula gives
∂ ξ J { ( i ξ ) r η 0 A p , q } = ∑ j 1 + j 2 + j 3 = J c j 1 , j 2 , j 3 ∂ ξ j 1 ( i ξ ) r ∂ ξ j 2 η 0 ∂ ξ j 3 A p , q . \partial_\xi^J\{(i\xi)^r\eta_0\mathcal{A}_{p,q}\}
=
\sum_{j_1+j_2+j_3=J}c_{j_1,j_2,j_3}\,\partial_\xi^{j_1}(i\xi)^r\partial_\xi^{j_2}\eta_0\,\partial_\xi^{j_3}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}. ∂ ξ J {( i ξ ) r η 0 A p , q } = j 1 + j 2 + j 3 = J ∑ c j 1 , j 2 , j 3 ∂ ξ j 1 ( i ξ ) r ∂ ξ j 2 η 0 ∂ ξ j 3 A p , q .
Using (61) and (35) ,
∫ R ∣ ∂ ξ J { ( i ξ ) r η 0 ( ξ ) A p , q ( ξ ) } ∣ d ξ ≪ J , r , ψ ( log T ) r + 1 Δ − J . \int_{\mathbb{R}}\left|\partial_\xi^J\{(i\xi)^r\eta_0(\xi)\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\}\right|\,d\xi
\ll_{J,r,\psi}(\log T)^{r+1}\Delta^{-J}. ∫ R ∂ ξ J {( i ξ ) r η 0 ( ξ ) A p , q ( ξ )} d ξ ≪ J , r , ψ ( log T ) r + 1 Δ − J .
Here one uses the weighted L 1 L^1 L 1 form of (35) with weight at most ( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) r (1+|\xi|)^r ( 1 + ∣ ξ ∣ ) r ; hence the polynomial factors produced by ∂ ξ j 1 ( i ξ ) r \partial_\xi^{j_1}(i\xi)^r ∂ ξ j 1 ( i ξ ) r are absorbed at the cost of ( log T ) r + 1 (\log T)^{r+1} ( log T ) r + 1 , while the derivatives falling on η 0 \eta_0 η 0 and A p , q \mathcal{A}_{p,q} A p , q contribute together at most Δ − J \Delta^{-J} Δ − J . After J J J integrations by parts,
∣ ∫ e i t ξ ( i ξ ) r η 0 ( ξ ) A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ ∣ ≪ J , r , ψ ( log T ) r + 1 ( t Δ ) − J ≪ J , r , ψ ( log T ) r + 1 T − J ε . \left|\int e^{it\xi}(i\xi)^r\eta_0(\xi)\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi\right|
\ll_{J,r,\psi}(\log T)^{r+1}(t\Delta)^{-J}
\ll_{J,r,\psi}(\log T)^{r+1}T^{-J\varepsilon}. ∫ e i t ξ ( i ξ ) r η 0 ( ξ ) A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ ≪ J , r , ψ ( log T ) r + 1 ( t Δ ) − J ≪ J , r , ψ ( log T ) r + 1 T − J ε .
Since
ϑ + Δ ≥ Δ = T − 1 + ε , \vartheta+\Delta\geq\Delta=T^{-1+\varepsilon}, ϑ + Δ ≥ Δ = T − 1 + ε ,
we may choose J = J ( r , ε ) J=J(r,\varepsilon) J = J ( r , ε ) sufficiently large that
( log T ) r + 1 T − J ε ≪ T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . (\log T)^{r+1}T^{-J\varepsilon}\ll T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. ( log T ) r + 1 T − J ε ≪ T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r .
Combining this with (66) proves (60) . □
Lemma 4.7. Fix 0 < ε < 1 0<\varepsilon<1 0 < ε < 1 . Let t ≍ T t\asymp T t ≍ T , put p = d a p=da p = d a , q = d ( a + b ) q=d(a+b) q = d ( a + b ) and ρ = b / a \rho=b/a ρ = b / a . Assume the truncation conditions of Lemma 4.6 . Then, for every fixed integer r ≥ 0 r\geq0 r ≥ 0 ,
d r d t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ≪ r , ψ , ε log T T Λ ( ρ , T ) r , (67) \frac{d^r}{dt^r}B_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon}\frac{\log T}{T}\Lambda(\rho,T)^r, \tag*{(67)} d t r d r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ≪ r , ψ , ε T log T Λ ( ρ , T ) r , (67) where
Λ ( ρ , T ) = T − 1 + ε + { ρ , 0 < ρ ≤ 1 , log ( 2 + ρ ) , ρ > 1. (68) \Lambda(\rho,T)=T^{-1+\varepsilon}+
\begin{cases}
\rho, & 0<\rho\leq1,\\
\log(2+\rho), & \rho>1.
\end{cases} \tag*{(68)} Λ ( ρ , T ) = T − 1 + ε + { ρ , log ( 2 + ρ ) , 0 < ρ ≤ 1 , ρ > 1. (68)
Proof. Fix the ε > 0 \varepsilon>0 ε > 0 in the conclusion and use a smaller parameter ε 0 > 0 \varepsilon_0>0 ε 0 > 0 in the truncation of the preceding section, with ε 0 < ε / 2 \varepsilon_0<\varepsilon/2 ε 0 < ε /2 at the end. The original Fourier-index truncation gives
p = d a ≤ C ψ T , q = d ( a + b ) ≤ C ψ T , p=da\leq C_\psi T,\qquad q=d(a+b)\leq C_\psi T, p = d a ≤ C ψ T , q = d ( a + b ) ≤ C ψ T ,
and
1 ≤ q 2 − p 2 = d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) ≪ T 1 + ε 0 . 1\leq q^2-p^2=d^2b(2a+b)\ll T^{1+\varepsilon_0}. 1 ≤ q 2 − p 2 = d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) ≪ T 1 + ε 0 .
Hence Lemma 4.6 applies. Put
ϑ = log ( q / p ) , Δ = T − 1 + ε 0 , \vartheta=\log(q/p),\qquad\Delta=T^{-1+\varepsilon_0}, ϑ = log ( q / p ) , Δ = T − 1 + ε 0 ,
and for 0 ≤ m ≤ r 0\leq m\leq r 0 ≤ m ≤ r define
I m ( t ; p , q ) = ∫ R ( i ξ ) m e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ . \mathcal{I}_m(t;p,q)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}(i\xi)^m e^{it\xi}\mathcal{A}_{p,q}(\xi)\,d\xi. I m ( t ; p , q ) = ∫ R ( i ξ ) m e i t ξ A p , q ( ξ ) d ξ .
e n d s m i d = 1 {ends_mid=1} e n d s m i d = 1
By (60) ,
I m ( t ; p , q ) ≪ m , ψ , ε 0 T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) m . \mathcal{I}_m(t;p,q) \ll_{m,\psi,\varepsilon_0} T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^m. I m ( t ; p , q ) ≪ m , ψ , ε 0 T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) m .
The differentiation formula (51) gives
∣ ∂ t r B p , q ( t ) ∣ ≤ 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) ∣ I r ( t ; p , q ) ∣ + 2 e − 2 π t ∑ ℓ = 1 r ( r ℓ ) ( 2 π ) ℓ ∣ I r − ℓ ( t ; p , q ) ∣ . (69) \left|\partial_t^r B_{p,q}(t)\right| \le2(1+e^{-2\pi t})|\mathcal{I}_r(t;p,q)|+2e^{-2\pi t}\sum_{\ell=1}^{r}\binom{r}{\ell}(2\pi)^\ell|\mathcal{I}_{r-\ell}(t;p,q)|. \tag*{(69)} ∣ ∂ t r B p , q ( t ) ∣ ≤ 2 ( 1 + e − 2 π t ) ∣ I r ( t ; p , q ) ∣ + 2 e − 2 π t ℓ = 1 ∑ r ( ℓ r ) ( 2 π ) ℓ ∣ I r − ℓ ( t ; p , q ) ∣. (69)
The first term is
≪ r , ψ , ε 0 T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r . \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon_0} T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+\Delta)^r. ≪ r , ψ , ε 0 T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + Δ ) r .
Since
0 < ϑ = log ( q / p ) ≤ log ( C ψ T ) ≪ ψ log T , 0<\vartheta=\log(q/p)\leq\log(C_\psi T)\ll_\psi\log T, 0 < ϑ = log ( q / p ) ≤ log ( C ψ T ) ≪ ψ log T ,
for every fixed B > 0 B>0 B > 0 the second line in (69) is
≪ r , ψ , ε 0 e − c T T − 1 ( log T ) r + 1 \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon_0}e^{-cT}T^{-1}(\log T)^{r+1} ≪ r , ψ , ε 0 e − c T T − 1 ( log T ) r + 1
≪ B , r , ψ T − B . (70) \ll_{B,r,\psi}T^{-B}. \tag*{(70)} ≪ B , r , ψ T − B . (70)
Thus
∣ ∂ t r B p , q ( t ) ∣ ≪ r , ψ , ε 0 T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + T − 1 + ε 0 ) r + O B , r , ψ ( T − B ) . \left|\partial_t^r B_{p,q}(t)\right|\ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon_0}T^{-1}(\log T)(\vartheta+T^{-1+\varepsilon_0})^r+O_{B,r,\psi}(T^{-B}). ∣ ∂ t r B p , q ( t ) ∣ ≪ r , ψ , ε 0 T − 1 ( log T ) ( ϑ + T − 1 + ε 0 ) r + O B , r , ψ ( T − B ) .
Finally,
q p = 1 + ρ , ϑ = log ( 1 + ρ ) . \frac{q}{p}=1+\rho,\qquad\vartheta=\log(1+\rho). p q = 1 + ρ , ϑ = log ( 1 + ρ ) .
If 0 < ρ ≤ 1 0<\rho\leq1 0 < ρ ≤ 1 , then directly
log ( 1 + ρ ) ≤ ρ , \log(1+\rho)\leq\rho, log ( 1 + ρ ) ≤ ρ ,
whereas if ρ > 1 \rho>1 ρ > 1 ,
log ( 1 + ρ ) ≤ log ( 2 + ρ ) . \log(1+\rho)\leq\log(2+\rho). log ( 1 + ρ ) ≤ log ( 2 + ρ ) .
Therefore
ϑ + T − 1 + ε ≤ Λ ( ρ , T ) . \vartheta+T^{-1+\varepsilon}\leq\Lambda(\rho,T). ϑ + T − 1 + ε ≤ Λ ( ρ , T ) .
Since Λ ( ρ , T ) ≥ T − 1 + ε \Lambda(\rho,T)\geq T^{-1+\varepsilon} Λ ( ρ , T ) ≥ T − 1 + ε , choosing B B B sufficiently large absorbs (70) into T − 1 ( log T ) Λ ( ρ , T ) r T^{-1}(\log T)\Lambda(\rho,T)^r T − 1 ( log T ) Λ ( ρ , T ) r . Taking ε 0 < ε \varepsilon_0<\varepsilon ε 0 < ε proves (67) .
The local spectral large sieve with varying coefficients
To apply the spectral large sieve in Lemma 2.3 to the t t t -dependent coefficients, we use the following Fourier-series lemma.
Lemma 5.1. Let N \mathcal{N} N be a finite index set, let J J J be an interval of length L ≍ H L\asymp H L ≍ H with midpoint t J t_J t J , and let
F : J ⟶ ℓ 2 ( N ) , F ( t ) = ( F ν ( t ) ) ν ∈ N , F:J\longrightarrow\ell^2(\mathcal{N}),\qquad F(t)=(F_\nu(t))_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}, F : J ⟶ ℓ 2 ( N ) , F ( t ) = ( F ν ( t ) ) ν ∈ N , be smooth and vanish near the endpoints. Suppose that, for every fixed r ≥ 0 r\geq0 r ≥ 0 ,
sup t ∈ J ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ ∂ t r F ν ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ r E Λ 2 r . (71) \sup_{t\in J}\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}|\partial_t^r F_\nu(t)|^2\ll_r E\Lambda^{2r}. \tag*{(71)} t ∈ J sup ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ ∂ t r F ν ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ r E Λ 2 r . (71) Then F F F has the Fourier expansion
F ν ( t ) = ∑ k ∈ Z c ν , k e ( k ( t − t J ) L ) , ∑ k ∈ Z ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 ≪ E . (72) F_\nu(t)=\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}c_{\nu,k}e\left(\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right),\qquad\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}|c_{\nu,k}|^2\ll E. \tag*{(72)} F ν ( t ) = k ∈ Z ∑ c ν , k e ( L k ( t − t J ) ) , k ∈ Z ∑ ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 ≪ E . (72)
Moreover, for every integer R ≥ 1 R \ge1 R ≥ 1 and K ≥ 1 K \ge1 K ≥ 1 ,
∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 ≪ R E K − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R , (73) \sum_{|k|>K}\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}} |c_{\nu,k}|^2 \ll_R E K^{-2R}(1+H\Lambda)^{2R}, \tag*{(73)} ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 ≪ R E K − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R , (73)
sup t ∈ J ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K c ν , k e ( k ( t − t J ) L ) ∣ 2 ≪ R E K 1 − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R . (74) \sup_{t\in J}\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}\left|\sum_{|k|>K}c_{\nu,k}e\left(\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right)\right|^2 \ll_R E K^{1-2R}(1+H\Lambda)^{2R}. \tag*{(74)} t ∈ J sup ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ c ν , k e ( L k ( t − t J ) ) 2 ≪ R E K 1 − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R . (74)
Proof. Write H = ℓ 2 ( N ) \mathcal{H}=\ell^2(\mathcal{N}) H = ℓ 2 ( N ) . Since N \mathcal{N} N is finite, H \mathcal{H} H is a finite-dimensional Hilbert space; equivalently, all identities below may be proved componentwise and then summed over ν ∈ N \nu\in\mathcal{N} ν ∈ N . Since F F F vanishes in neighbourhoods of both endpoints of J J J , its L L L -periodic extension belongs to C ∞ ( R / L Z ; H ) C^\infty(\mathbb{R}/L\mathbb{Z};\mathcal{H}) C ∞ ( R / L Z ; H ) and is smooth across the periodic seam.
Step 1: Fourier coefficients and exact expansion. For k ∈ Z k\in\mathbb{Z} k ∈ Z define the H \mathcal{H} H -valued coefficient
c k = ( c ν , k ) ν ∈ N : = 1 L ∫ J F ( t ) e ( − k ( t − t J ) L ) d t . (75) c_k=(c_{\nu,k})_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}:=\frac{1}{L}\int_J F(t)e\left(-\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right)\,dt. \tag*{(75)} c k = ( c ν , k ) ν ∈ N := L 1 ∫ J F ( t ) e ( − L k ( t − t J ) ) d t . (75)
Since the periodic extension of F F F is smooth, its Fourier series and all its derivatives converge uniformly. Hence, on J J J ,
F ( t ) = ∑ k ∈ Z c k e ( k ( t − t J ) L ) F(t)=\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}c_ke\left(\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right) F ( t ) = k ∈ Z ∑ c k e ( L k ( t − t J ) )
as an identity in H \mathcal{H} H . Taking the ν \nu ν -th coordinate gives the first formula in (5.2).
Step 2: zeroth-order Parseval identity. Parseval on the circle of length L L L , with normalised Haar measure d t / L dt/L d t / L , gives
∑ k ∈ Z ∥ c k ∥ H 2 = 1 L ∫ J ∥ F ( t ) ∥ H 2 d t = 1 L ∫ J ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ F ν ( t ) ∣ 2 d t ≪ E . \begin{aligned}
\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2=\frac{1}{L}\int_J\|F(t)\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2\,dt \\
&=\frac{1}{L}\int_J\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}|F_\nu(t)|^2\,dt\ll E.
\end{aligned} k ∈ Z ∑ ∥ c k ∥ H 2 = L 1 ∫ J ∥ F ( t ) ∥ H 2 d t = L 1 ∫ J ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ F ν ( t ) ∣ 2 d t ≪ E .
The last bound is (5.1) with r = 0 r=0 r = 0 . Since ∥ c k ∥ H 2 = ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 \|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2=\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}|c_{\nu,k}|^2 ∥ c k ∥ H 2 = ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 , this is the second assertion in (5.2).
Step 3: weighted Fourier energy. Integrate (5.5) by parts R R R times. Every boundary term vanishes because F F F is identically zero near both endpoints. Thus, for every k ∈ Z k\in\mathbb{Z} k ∈ Z ,
( 2 π i k L ) R c k = 1 L ∫ J ∂ t R F ( t ) e ( − k ( t − t J ) L ) d t . \left(\frac{2\pi i k}{L}\right)^R c_k=\frac{1}{L}\int_J\partial_t^R F(t)e\left(-\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right)\,dt. ( L 2 π ik ) R c k = L 1 ∫ J ∂ t R F ( t ) e ( − L k ( t − t J ) ) d t .
Equivalently, the k k k -th Fourier coefficient of ∂ t R F \partial_t^R F ∂ t R F is ( 2 π i k / L ) R c k (2\pi i k/L)^R c_k ( 2 π ik / L ) R c k . A second application of vector-valued Parseval yields
∑ k ∈ Z ( 2 π ∣ k ∣ L ) 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 = 1 L ∫ J ∥ ∂ t R F ( t ) ∥ H 2 d t \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}\left(\frac{2\pi|k|}{L}\right)^{2R}\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2=\frac{1}{L}\int_J\|\partial_t^R F(t)\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2\,dt k ∈ Z ∑ ( L 2 π ∣ k ∣ ) 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 = L 1 ∫ J ∥ ∂ t R F ( t ) ∥ H 2 d t
≪ R E Λ 2 R . \ll_R E\Lambda^{2R}. ≪ R E Λ 2 R .
Consequently,
∑ k ∈ Z ∣ k ∣ 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 ≪ R ( L 2 π ) 2 R E Λ 2 R ≪ R E ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R . (76) \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}|k|^{2R}\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2\ll_R\left(\frac{L}{2\pi}\right)^{2R}E\Lambda^{2R}\ll_R E(1+H\Lambda)^{2R}. \tag*{(76)} k ∈ Z ∑ ∣ k ∣ 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 ≪ R ( 2 π L ) 2 R E Λ 2 R ≪ R E ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R . (76)
because L ≍ H L \asymp H L ≍ H . The factor 1 + H Λ 1+H\Lambda 1 + H Λ also covers the case H Λ < 1 H\Lambda<1 H Λ < 1 . In the application in Section 6, multiplication by a cutoff supported in J J J replaces Λ \Lambda Λ by Λ + H − 1 \Lambda+H^{-1} Λ + H − 1 , for which the same expression is exactly of size 1 + H Λ 1+H\Lambda 1 + H Λ .
Step 4: the L 2 L^2 L 2 Fourier tail. For ∣ k ∣ > K |k|>K ∣ k ∣ > K one has 1 ≤ K − 2 R ∣ k ∣ 2 R 1\le K^{-2R}|k|^{2R} 1 ≤ K − 2 R ∣ k ∣ 2 R . Hence
∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 = ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∥ c k ∥ H 2 ≤ K − 2 R ∑ k ∈ Z ∣ k ∣ 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 \begin{aligned}
\sum_{|k|>K}\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}|c_{\nu,k}|^2=\sum_{|k|>K}\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2 \\
&\le K^{-2R}\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}|k|^{2R}\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2
\end{aligned} ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ c ν , k ∣ 2 = ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ∥ c k ∥ H 2 ≤ K − 2 R k ∈ Z ∑ ∣ k ∣ 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2
≪ R E K − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R . \ll_R EK^{-2R}(1+H\Lambda)^{2R}. ≪ R E K − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R .
by (5.6). This proves (5.3).
Step 5: a tail uniform in the spectral parameter. Set
R K ( t ) : = ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K c k e ( k ( t − t J ) L ) ∈ H . \mathcal{R}_K(t):=\sum_{|k|>K}c_k e\left(\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right)\in\mathcal{H}. R K ( t ) := ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ c k e ( L k ( t − t J ) ) ∈ H .
For each fixed t ∈ J t\in J t ∈ J , the triangle inequality followed by Cauchy’s inequality for the sequences ∣ k ∣ − R |k|^{-R} ∣ k ∣ − R and ∣ k ∣ R ∥ c k ∥ H |k|^R\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}} ∣ k ∣ R ∥ c k ∥ H gives
∥ R K ( t ) ∥ H 2 ≤ ( ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∣ k ∣ − R ∣ k ∣ R ∥ c k ∥ H ) 2 ≤ ( ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∣ k ∣ − 2 R ) ( ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∣ k ∣ 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 ) . (77) \begin{aligned}
\|\mathcal{R}_K(t)\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2\le\left(\sum_{|k|>K}|k|^{-R}|k|^R\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}\right)^2 \\
&\le\left(\sum_{|k|>K}|k|^{-2R}\right)\left(\sum_{|k|>K}|k|^{2R}\|c_k\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2\right). \tag*{(77)}
\end{aligned} ∥ R K ( t ) ∥ H 2 ≤ ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ∣ k ∣ − R ∣ k ∣ R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 ≤ ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ∣ k ∣ − 2 R ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ∣ k ∣ 2 R ∥ c k ∥ H 2 . (77)
For R ≥ 1 R\ge1 R ≥ 1 ,
∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∣ k ∣ − 2 R ≪ R K 1 − 2 R . \sum_{|k|>K}|k|^{-2R}\ll_R K^{1-2R}. ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ ∣ k ∣ − 2 R ≪ R K 1 − 2 R .
Combining this estimate with (5.6) in (5.7), we obtain
sup t ∈ J ∥ R K ( t ) ∥ H 2 ≪ R E K 1 − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R . \sup_{t\in J}\|\mathcal{R}_K(t)\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2\ll_R EK^{1-2R}(1+H\Lambda)^{2R}. t ∈ J sup ∥ R K ( t ) ∥ H 2 ≪ R E K 1 − 2 R ( 1 + H Λ ) 2 R .
Finally,
∥ R K ( t ) ∥ H 2 = ∑ ν ∈ N ∣ ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K c ν , k e ( k ( t − t J ) L ) ∣ 2 , \|\mathcal{R}_K(t)\|_{\mathcal{H}}^2=\sum_{\nu\in\mathcal{N}}\left|\sum_{|k|>K}c_{\nu,k}e\left(\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L}\right)\right|^2, ∥ R K ( t ) ∥ H 2 = ν ∈ N ∑ ∣ k ∣ > K ∑ c ν , k e ( L k ( t − t J ) ) 2 ,
which is (5.4).
Proof of the main theorem
We first prove the following weighted second-moment estimate for the off-diagonal term.
Theorem 6.1. Let S j ( ψ ) S_j(\psi) S j ( ψ ) be defined by (2.9). For T ≥ 2 T\ge2 T ≥ 2 , 1 ≤ U ≤ T 1\le U\le T 1 ≤ U ≤ T , and any ϵ > 0 \epsilon>0 ϵ > 0 ,
∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U L j ∣ S j ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ϵ T 1 + ϵ . (78) \sum_{\substack{j\ \mathrm{even}\\ T<t_j\le T+U}}L_j|S_j(\psi)|^2\ll_{\psi,\epsilon}T^{1+\epsilon}. \tag*{(78)} j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L j ∣ S j ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ϵ T 1 + ϵ . (78)
Proof. Recall (12) :
S j ( ψ ) = 1 L j ∑ d , a , b ≥ 1 λ j ( a ( a + b ) ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t j ) . S_j(\psi)=\frac{1}{L_j}\sum_{d,a,b\geq1}\lambda_j\bigl(a(a+b)\bigr)\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t_j). S j ( ψ ) = L j 1 d , a , b ≥ 1 ∑ λ j ( a ( a + b ) ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t j ) .
First, we divide the threefold sum into dyadic blocks and estimate the coefficients of the resulting Hecke polynomials. We decompose the retained triples, subject to the Fourier-index and shift truncations from § 3 , into dyadic ranges
d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y . d\asymp D,\qquad a\asymp X,\qquad b\asymp Y. d ≍ D , a ≍ X , b ≍ Y .
Call the resulting block B = ( D , X , Y ) \mathcal{B}=(D,X,Y) B = ( D , X , Y ) . In all sums over this block we retain only triples satisfying
d a , d ( a + b ) ≤ C ψ T , d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) ≪ T 1 + β . da,\ d(a+b)\leq C_\psi T,\qquad d^2b(2a+b)\ll T^{1+\beta}. d a , d ( a + b ) ≤ C ψ T , d 2 b ( 2 a + b ) ≪ T 1 + β .
For each Hecke index A A A , let T A ( B ) \mathcal{T}_A(\mathcal{B}) T A ( B ) denote the triples in this block that satisfy a ( a + b ) = A a(a+b)=A a ( a + b ) = A and the truncation conditions above. Define
C A B ( t ) = ∑ ( d , a , b ) ∈ T A ( B ) B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) . \mathcal{C}^{\mathcal{B}}_A(t)=\sum_{(d,a,b)\in\mathcal{T}_A(\mathcal{B})}\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t). C A B ( t ) = ( d , a , b ) ∈ T A ( B ) ∑ B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) .
The Hecke index has length
A ≍ N : = X ( X + Y ) . A\asymp N:=X(X+Y). A ≍ N := X ( X + Y ) .
For every fixed integer r ≥ 0 r\geq0 r ≥ 0 , we claim that
∑ A ∣ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ r , ε E B Λ ( Y / X , T ) 2 r , E B = T ε D 2 X Y T 2 . (79) \sum_A\left|\partial_t^r\mathcal{C}^{\mathcal{B}}_A(t)\right|^2\ll_{r,\varepsilon} E_{\mathcal{B}}\Lambda(Y/X,T)^{2r},\qquad E_{\mathcal{B}}=T^\varepsilon\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}. \tag*{(79)} A ∑ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) 2 ≪ r , ε E B Λ ( Y / X , T ) 2 r , E B = T ε T 2 D 2 X Y . (79)
We consider only nonempty blocks left after the truncation in § 3 . To keep the bookkeeping transparent, apply Lemma 4.7 and the divisor bound with ε / 10 \varepsilon/10 ε /10 in place of ε \varepsilon ε ; the finitely many resulting powers T ε / 10 T^{\varepsilon/10} T ε /10 are absorbed into T ε T^\varepsilon T ε at the end.
Then
∂ t r C A B ( t ) = ∑ ( d , a , b ) ∈ T A ( B ) ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) . (80) \partial_t^r\mathcal{C}^{\mathcal{B}}_A(t)=\sum_{(d,a,b)\in\mathcal{T}_A(\mathcal{B})}\partial_t^r\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t). \tag*{(80)} ∂ t r C A B ( t ) = ( d , a , b ) ∈ T A ( B ) ∑ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) . (80)
If ( d , a , b ) ∈ T A ( B ) (d,a,b)\in\mathcal{T}_A(\mathcal{B}) ( d , a , b ) ∈ T A ( B ) , then
a ∣ A , b = A / a − a . a\mid A,\qquad b=A/a-a. a ∣ A , b = A / a − a .
Thus b b b is uniquely determined once the divisor a a a is chosen. There are O ( D ) O(D) O ( D ) integral choices for d d d , and hence
# T A ( B ) ≪ D τ ( A ) . \#\mathcal{T}_A(\mathcal{B})\ll D\tau(A). # T A ( B ) ≪ D τ ( A ) .
The truncation in Lemma 2.2 gives d a , d ( a + b ) ≪ ψ T da,d(a+b)\ll_\psi T d a , d ( a + b ) ≪ ψ T for every retained triple, and therefore A = a ( a + b ) ≪ ψ T 2 A=a(a+b)\ll_\psi T^2 A = a ( a + b ) ≪ ψ T 2 . The classical divisor estimate τ ( A ) ≪ ε A ε / 20 \tau(A)\ll_\varepsilon A^{\varepsilon/20} τ ( A ) ≪ ε A ε /20 now yields
# T A ( B ) ≪ ψ , ε D T ε / 10 . (81) \#\mathcal{T}_A(\mathcal{B})\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon}DT^{\varepsilon/10}. \tag*{(81)} # T A ( B ) ≪ ψ , ε D T ε /10 . (81)
For a ≍ X a\asymp X a ≍ X and b ≍ Y b\asymp Y b ≍ Y ,
b a ≍ Y X . \frac{b}{a}\asymp\frac{Y}{X}. a b ≍ X Y .
The piecewise definition (4.43) implies
Λ ( b / a , T ) ≪ Λ ( Y / X , T ) . \Lambda(b/a,T)\ll\Lambda(Y/X,T). Λ ( b / a , T ) ≪ Λ ( Y / X , T ) .
Indeed, if Y / X ≤ 1 / 4 Y/X \le1/4 Y / X ≤ 1/4 , then b / a ≤ 1 b/a \le1 b / a ≤ 1 and b / a ≍ Y / X b/a \asymp Y/X b / a ≍ Y / X ; if Y / X ≥ 4 Y/X \ge4 Y / X ≥ 4 , then b / a > 1 b/a > 1 b / a > 1 and log ( 2 + b / a ) ≍ log ( 2 + Y / X ) \log(2+b/a) \asymp\log(2+Y/X) log ( 2 + b / a ) ≍ log ( 2 + Y / X ) ; on the remaining compact interval 1 / 4 ≤ Y / X ≤ 4 1/4 \le Y/X \le4 1/4 ≤ Y / X ≤ 4 , both sides are comparable with a positive absolute constant. Lemma 4.7 therefore gives, uniformly throughout the block,
∣ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ ≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) Λ ( Y / X , T ) r . (82) \left|\partial_t^r \mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\right| \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon} T^{-1}(\log T)\Lambda(Y/X,T)^r. \tag*{(82)} ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ≪ r , ψ , ε T − 1 ( log T ) Λ ( Y / X , T ) r . (82)
Equations (80) and (81) , together with Cauchy’s inequality, give
∣ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) ∣ 2 ≤ # A ( B ) ∑ ( d , a , b ) ∈ A ( B ) ∣ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε D T ε / 10 ∑ ( d , a , b ) ∈ A ( B ) ∣ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ 2 . \left|\partial_t^r \mathcal{C}_{A}^{\mathcal{B}}(t)\right|^2 \le\#\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{B}) \sum_{(d,a,b)\in\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{B})}\left|\partial_t^r \mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\right|^2
\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon} DT^{\varepsilon/10}\sum_{(d,a,b)\in\mathcal{A}(\mathcal{B})}\left|\partial_t^r \mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\right|^2. ∂ t r C A B ( t ) 2 ≤ # A ( B ) ( d , a , b ) ∈ A ( B ) ∑ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) 2 ≪ ψ , ε D T ε /10 ( d , a , b ) ∈ A ( B ) ∑ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) 2 .
When this is summed over A A A , every triple ( d , a , b ) (d,a,b) ( d , a , b ) occurs exactly once, namely for A = a ( a + b ) A=a(a+b) A = a ( a + b ) . Hence
∑ A ∣ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε D T ε / 10 ∑ d ≍ D a ≍ X b ≍ Y ∣ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) ∣ 2 \sum_A\left|\partial_t^r\mathcal{C}_{A}^{\mathcal{B}}(t)\right|^2\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon}DT^{\varepsilon/10}\sum_{\substack{d\asymp D\\a\asymp X\\b\asymp Y}}\left|\partial_t^r\mathcal{B}_{da,d(a+b)}(t)\right|^2 A ∑ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) 2 ≪ ψ , ε D T ε /10 d ≍ D a ≍ X b ≍ Y ∑ ∂ t r B d a , d ( a + b ) ( t ) 2
≪ r , ψ , ε D T ε / 10 ( D X Y ) T − 2 + ε / 5 Λ ( Y / X , T ) 2 r . \ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon}DT^{\varepsilon/10}(DXY)T^{-2+\varepsilon/5}\Lambda(Y/X,T)^{2r}. ≪ r , ψ , ε D T ε /10 ( D X Y ) T − 2 + ε /5 Λ ( Y / X , T ) 2 r .
The dyadic box contains O ( D X Y ) O(DXY) O ( D X Y ) integral triples, and the second line uses (82) . Absorbing the finitely many ε / 10 \varepsilon/10 ε /10 losses into T ε T^\varepsilon T ε , we obtain
∑ A ∣ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ r , ψ , ε T ε D 2 X Y T 2 Λ ( Y / X , T ) 2 r , \sum_A\left|\partial_t^r\mathcal{C}_{A}^{\mathcal{B}}(t)\right|^2\ll_{r,\psi,\varepsilon}T^\varepsilon\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}\Lambda(Y/X,T)^{2r}, A ∑ ∂ t r C A B ( t ) 2 ≪ r , ψ , ε T ε T 2 D 2 X Y Λ ( Y / X , T ) 2 r ,
which proves (79) .
Now the truncation (25) becomes
D 2 Y ( 2 X + Y ) ≪ T 1 + ε . D^2Y(2X+Y)\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}. D 2 Y ( 2 X + Y ) ≪ T 1 + ε .
Next, we fix a non-empty block B = ( D , X , Y ) \mathcal{B}=(D,X,Y) B = ( D , X , Y ) and put
N = X ( X + Y ) , ρ = Y / X , Λ = Λ ( ρ , T ) . N=X(X+Y),\qquad\rho=Y/X,\qquad\Lambda=\Lambda(\rho,T). N = X ( X + Y ) , ρ = Y / X , Λ = Λ ( ρ , T ) .
Define
Q B ( T , U ) = ∑ T < t j ≤ T + U j e v e n 1 L j ∣ ∑ A ≍ N λ j ( A ) C A B ( t j ) ∣ 2 . \mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{B}}(T,U)=\sum_{\substack{T<t_j\le T+U\\j\ {\rm even}}}\frac{1}{L_j}\left|\sum_{A\asymp N}\lambda_j(A)\mathcal{C}_{A}^{\mathcal{B}}(t_j)\right|^2. Q B ( T , U ) = T < t j ≤ T + U j even ∑ L j 1 A ≍ N ∑ λ j ( A ) C A B ( t j ) 2 .
Let
H = { min ( T 1 − β , X / Y ) , Y ≤ X , 1 , Y > X , h = min ( U , H ) . H=\begin{cases}
\min(T^{1-\beta},X/Y),&Y\le X,\\
1,&Y>X,
\end{cases}
\qquad h=\min(U,H). H = { min ( T 1 − β , X / Y ) , 1 , Y ≤ X , Y > X , h = min ( U , H ) .
We prove
Q B ( T , U ) ≪ T O ( β ) ( T U + N max ( 1 , U H ) ) D 2 X Y T 2 . \mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{B}}(T,U)\ll T^{O(\beta)}\left(TU+N\max\left(1,\frac{U}{H}\right)\right)\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}. Q B ( T , U ) ≪ T O ( β ) ( T U + N max ( 1 , H U ) ) T 2 D 2 X Y .
For this fixed block, choose a smooth square partition of unity { η J } J ∈ J \{\eta_J\}_{J\in\mathcal{J}} { η J } J ∈ J on [ T , T + U ] [T,T+U] [ T , T + U ] , indexed by a finite collection J = J ( B ) \mathcal{J}=\mathcal{J}(\mathcal{B}) J = J ( B ) of short spectral intervals, such that
∑ J ∈ J η J ( t ) 2 = 1 , sup η J ∈ J , ∣ J ∣ ≍ h , η J ( r ) ( t ) ≪ r h − r . \sum_{J\in\mathcal{J}}\eta_J(t)^2=1,\qquad\sup\eta_J\in\mathcal{J},\qquad|\mathcal{J}|\asymp h,\qquad\eta_J^{(r)}(t)\ll_r h^{-r}. J ∈ J ∑ η J ( t ) 2 = 1 , sup η J ∈ J , ∣ J ∣ ≍ h , η J ( r ) ( t ) ≪ r h − r .
The overlap is bounded and the number of intervals is
O ( U / h ) = O ( max ( 1 , U H ) ) . O(U/h)=O\left(\max\left(1,\frac{U}{H}\right)\right). O ( U / h ) = O ( max ( 1 , H U ) ) .
Put F A , J ( t ) = η J ( t ) C A B ( t ) F_{A,J}(t)=\eta_J(t)\mathcal{C}^{\mathcal{B}}_A(t) F A , J ( t ) = η J ( t ) C A B ( t ) . The square partition of unity gives
Q B ( T , U ) = ∑ J ∈ J ∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U 1 L j ∣ ∑ A λ j ( A ) F A , J ( t j ) ∣ 2 ≤ ∑ J ∈ J ∑ j e v e n 1 L j ∣ ∑ A λ j ( A ) F A , J ( t j ) ∣ 2 . \begin{aligned}

&\leq\sum_{J\in\mathcal{J}}\sum_{j\ {\rm even}}\frac{1}{L_j}\left|\sum_A\lambda_j(A)F_{A,J}(t_j)\right|^2.
\end{aligned} Q B ( T , U ) = J ∈ J ∑ j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L j 1 A ∑ λ j ( A ) F A , J ( t j ) 2 ≤ J ∈ J ∑ j even ∑ L j 1 A ∑ λ j ( A ) F A , J ( t j ) 2 .
Leibniz’ rule and (79) give
∑ A ∣ ∂ t r F A , J ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ r , ψ , β E B ( Λ + h − 1 ) 2 r , E B = T O ( β ) D 2 X Y T 2 . \sum_A|\partial_t^rF_{A,J}(t)|^2\ll_{r,\psi,\beta}\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{B}}(\Lambda+h^{-1})^{2r},\qquad\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{B}}=T^{O(\beta)}\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}. A ∑ ∣ ∂ t r F A , J ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ r , ψ , β E B ( Λ + h − 1 ) 2 r , E B = T O ( β ) T 2 D 2 X Y .
Since h ≤ H h\leq H h ≤ H ,
h Λ ≪ { 1 , Y ≤ X , 1 + log T , Y > X . h\Lambda\ll\begin{cases}1,&Y\leq X,\\1+\log T,&Y>X.\end{cases} h Λ ≪ { 1 , 1 + log T , Y ≤ X , Y > X .
Lemma 5.1 , with derivative factor Λ + h − 1 \Lambda+h^{-1} Λ + h − 1 , and K = T β K=T^\beta K = T β (with the Fourier-tail order chosen sufficiently large depending on β \beta β ), gives
F A , J ( t ) = ∑ ∣ k ∣ ≤ K c A , k , J e ( k ( t − t J ) L J ) + R A , J ( t ) , L J ≪ h , F_{A,J}(t)=\sum_{|k|\leq K}c_{A,k,J}e\left(\frac{k(t-t_J)}{L_J}\right)+R_{A,J}(t),\qquad L_J\ll h, F A , J ( t ) = ∣ k ∣ ≤ K ∑ c A , k , J e ( L J k ( t − t J ) ) + R A , J ( t ) , L J ≪ h ,
with
∑ k , A ∣ c A , k , J ∣ 2 ≪ E B , \sum_{k,A}|c_{A,k,J}|^2\ll\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{B}}, k , A ∑ ∣ c A , k , J ∣ 2 ≪ E B ,
sup t ∈ J ∑ A ∣ R A , J ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ T − 200 E B . \sup_{t\in J}\sum_A|R_{A,J}(t)|^2\ll T^{-200}\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{B}}. t ∈ J sup A ∑ ∣ R A , J ( t ) ∣ 2 ≪ T − 200 E B .
For each fixed k k k , the coefficients c A , k , J c_{A,k,J} c A , k , J are independent of t j t_j t j , while the exponential factor has absolute value one. Cauchy’s inequality in k k k and Lemma 2.3 yield
∑ j e v e n t j ∈ J 1 L j ∣ ∑ ∣ k ∣ ≤ K e ( k ( t j − t J ) L J ) ∑ A c A , k , J λ j ( A ) ∣ 2 ≪ T O ( β ) ( T h + N ) E B . \sum_{\substack{j\ {\rm even}\\t_j\in J}}\frac{1}{L_j}\left|\sum_{|k|\leq K}e\left(\frac{k(t_j-t_J)}{L_J}\right)\sum_Ac_{A,k,J}\lambda_j(A)\right|^2\ll T^{O(\beta)}(Th+N)\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{B}}. j even t j ∈ J ∑ L j 1 ∣ k ∣ ≤ K ∑ e ( L J k ( t j − t J ) ) A ∑ c A , k , J λ j ( A ) 2 ≪ T O ( β ) ( T h + N ) E B .
The uniform tail, the elementary Hecke bound, and Weyl’s upper bound on [ T , 2 T ] [T,2T] [ T , 2 T ] make the total tail O ( T − 190 ) O(T^{-190}) O ( T − 190 ) . Summing over these intervals gives
Q B ( T , U ) ≪ T O ( β ) U h ( T h + N ) E B + O ( T − 190 ) ≪ T O ( β ) ( T U + N max ( 1 , U H ) ) D 2 X Y T 2 . \begin{aligned}
\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{B}}(T,U)\ll T^{O(\beta)}\frac{U}{h}(Th+N)\mathcal{E}_{\mathcal{B}}+O(T^{-190}) \\
&\ll T^{O(\beta)}\left(TU+N\max\left(1,\frac{U}{H}\right)\right)\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}.
\end{aligned} Q B ( T , U ) ≪ T O ( β ) h U ( T h + N ) E B + O ( T − 190 ) ≪ T O ( β ) ( T U + N max ( 1 , H U ) ) T 2 D 2 X Y .
Note that the block constraint gives
T U D 2 X Y T 2 ≪ T O ( β ) U , TU\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}\ll T^{O(\beta)}U, T U T 2 D 2 X Y ≪ T O ( β ) U ,
and
N D 2 X Y T 2 ≪ T O ( β ) X 2 T . N\frac{D^2XY}{T^2}\ll T^{O(\beta)}\frac{X^2}{T}. N T 2 D 2 X Y ≪ T O ( β ) T X 2 .
Thus it remains to estimate
X 2 T max ( 1 , U H ) . \frac{X^2}{T}\max\left(1,\frac{U}{H}\right). T X 2 max ( 1 , H U ) .
If Y > X Y>X Y > X , then H = 1 H=1 H = 1 and X 2 < Y 2 ≪ T 1 + O ( β ) X^2<Y^2\ll T^{1+O(\beta)} X 2 < Y 2 ≪ T 1 + O ( β ) , giving O ( T O ( β ) U ) O(T^{O(\beta)}U) O ( T O ( β ) U ) . Suppose Y ≤ X Y\le X Y ≤ X and write ρ = Y / X \rho=Y/X ρ = Y / X . If T − 1 + β ≤ ρ ≤ 1 T^{-1+\beta}\le\rho\le1 T − 1 + β ≤ ρ ≤ 1 , then H = ρ − 1 H=\rho^{-1} H = ρ − 1 and ρ X 2 ≪ T 1 + O ( β ) \rho X^2\ll T^{1+O(\beta)} ρ X 2 ≪ T 1 + O ( β ) . For U ρ ≥ 1 U\rho\ge1 U ρ ≥ 1 the expression is O ( T O ( β ) U ) O(T^{O(\beta)}U) O ( T O ( β ) U ) ; for U ρ < 1 U\rho<1 U ρ < 1 it is O ( T O ( β ) ρ − 1 ) = O ( T 1 + O ( β ) ) O(T^{O(\beta)}\rho^{-1})=O(T^{1+O(\beta)}) O ( T O ( β ) ρ − 1 ) = O ( T 1 + O ( β ) ) . If 0 < ρ < T − 1 + β 0<\rho<T^{-1+\beta} 0 < ρ < T − 1 + β , then H = T 1 − β H=T^{1-\beta} H = T 1 − β . Since d ≥ 1 d\ge1 d ≥ 1 and the Fourier-index truncation gives d X ≪ ψ T dX\ll_{\psi}T d X ≪ ψ T , we have X ≪ ψ T X\ll_{\psi}T X ≪ ψ T , and hence
X 2 T max ( 1 , U T 1 − β ) ≪ ψ T 1 + β . \frac{X^2}{T}\max\left(1,\frac{U}{T^{1-\beta}}\right)\ll_{\psi}T^{1+\beta}. T X 2 max ( 1 , T 1 − β U ) ≪ ψ T 1 + β .
In particular, the range U ρ < 1 U\rho<1 U ρ < 1 gives a bound of order T 1 + O ( β ) T^{1+O(\beta)} T 1 + O ( β ) , rather than T O ( β ) U T^{O(\beta)}U T O ( β ) U . Since 1 ≤ U ≤ T 1\le U\le T 1 ≤ U ≤ T , the preceding cases yield, uniformly for all non-empty blocks,
Q B ( T , U ) ≪ T 1 + O ( β ) . Q_{\mathcal B}(T,U)\ll T^{1+O(\beta)}. Q B ( T , U ) ≪ T 1 + O ( β ) .
For each block B \mathcal B B , put
P j , B = ∑ A λ j ( A ) C A B ( t j ) . P_{j,\mathcal B}=\sum_A\lambda_j(A)C_A^{\mathcal B}(t_j). P j , B = A ∑ λ j ( A ) C A B ( t j ) .
Then
S j ( ψ ) = 1 L j ∑ B P j , B + E j f a r + E j s h i f t . S_j(\psi)=\frac{1}{L_j}\sum_{\mathcal B}P_{j,\mathcal B}+\mathcal E_j^{\mathrm{far}}+\mathcal E_j^{\mathrm{shift}}. S j ( ψ ) = L j 1 B ∑ P j , B + E j far + E j shift .
There are O ψ ( ( log T ) 3 ) O_{\psi}((\log T)^3) O ψ (( log T ) 3 ) non-empty blocks. Applying Cauchy’s inequality before the spectral average gives
∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U 1 L j ∣ ∑ B P j , B ∣ 2 ≪ T 1 + ε . (83) \sum_{\substack{j\ \mathrm{even}\\T<t_j\le T+U}}
\frac{1}{L_j}\left|\sum_{\mathcal B}P_{j,\mathcal B}\right|^2\ll T^{1+\varepsilon}. \tag*{(83)} j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L j 1 B ∑ P j , B 2 ≪ T 1 + ε . (83)
By Lemmas 2.2 and 3.5 , together with the standard bound L j ≪ ε T ε L_j\ll_{\varepsilon}T^{\varepsilon} L j ≪ ε T ε ,
∑ j e v e n T < t j ≤ T + U L j ∣ E j f a r + E j s h i f t ∣ 2 ≪ A , ψ , ε T − A , \sum_{\substack{j\ \mathrm{even}\\T<t_j\le T+U}}
L_j\left|\mathcal E_j^{\mathrm{far}}+\mathcal E_j^{\mathrm{shift}}\right|^2\ll_{A,\psi,\varepsilon}T^{-A}, j even T < t j ≤ T + U ∑ L j E j far + E j shift 2 ≪ A , ψ , ε T − A ,
after choosing the decay exponent in the two tail bounds sufficiently large and using the spectral counting bound. Together with (83) , this proves (78) . □
Proof of Theorem 1.2. Since μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) = D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) + S j ( ψ ) \mu_j(\psi)-M(\psi)=D_j(\psi)-M(\psi)+S_j(\psi) μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) = D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) + S j ( ψ ) ,
∣ μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≤ 2 ∣ D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 + 2 ∣ S j ( ψ ) ∣ 2 . |\mu_j(\psi)-M(\psi)|^2 \le2|D_j(\psi)-M(\psi)|^2+2|S_j(\psi)|^2. ∣ μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≤ 2∣ D j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 + 2∣ S j ( ψ ) ∣ 2 .
Combining (78) and (10) proves
∑ T < t j ≤ T + U j e v e n L j ∣ μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε , \sum_{\substack{T<t_j\le T+U\\ j\ \mathrm{even}}}L_j|\mu_j(\psi)-M(\psi)|^2\ll_{\psi,\varepsilon}T^{1+\varepsilon}, T < t j ≤ T + U j even ∑ L j ∣ μ j ( ψ ) − M ( ψ ) ∣ 2 ≪ ψ , ε T 1 + ε ,
and hence Theorem 1.2 . □
Appendix A. The Weyl law with prescribed parity
For completeness, we record the parity-specific Weyl law used in the proof of Corollary 1.3.
Lemma A.1. Let { u j } \{u_j\} { u j } be an orthonormal basis of Maass cusp forms on X = PSL 2 ( Z ) \ H X=\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H} X = PSL 2 ( Z ) \ H , chosen to diagonalise the reflection R u ( z ) = u ( − z ˉ ) Ru(z)=u(-\bar{z}) R u ( z ) = u ( − z ˉ ) . Write
Δ u j = ( 1 4 + t j 2 ) u j , R u j = ε j u j , t j > 0 , ε j ∈ { 1 , − 1 } . \Delta u_j=\left(\frac{1}{4}+t_j^2\right)u_j,\qquad Ru_j=\varepsilon_j u_j,\qquad t_j>0,\quad\varepsilon_j\in\{1,-1\}. Δ u j = ( 4 1 + t j 2 ) u j , R u j = ε j u j , t j > 0 , ε j ∈ { 1 , − 1 } . Then, for T ≥ 2 T\ge2 T ≥ 2 , counting with multiplicity,
N ± ( T ) : = # { j : 0 < t j < T , ε j = ± 1 } = T 2 24 + O ( T log T ) . N_{\pm}(T):=\#\{j:0<t_j<T,\ \varepsilon_j=\pm1\}=\frac{T^2}{24}+O(T\log T). N ± ( T ) := # { j : 0 < t j < T , ε j = ± 1 } = 24 T 2 + O ( T log T ) .
Proof. Put
N ( T ) = ∑ 0 < t j < T 1 , A ( T ) = ∑ 0 < t j < T ε j . N(T)=\sum_{0<t_j<T}1,\qquad A(T)=\sum_{0<t_j<T}\varepsilon_j. N ( T ) = 0 < t j < T ∑ 1 , A ( T ) = 0 < t j < T ∑ ε j .
The classical Weyl law for the full cuspidal spectrum gives
N ( T ) = T 2 12 + O ( T log T ) ; (84) N(T)=\frac{T^2}{12}+O(T\log T); \tag*{(84)} N ( T ) = 12 T 2 + O ( T log T ) ; (84)
see [5 Theorem 2.28] . Since N − ( T ) = ( N ( T ) − A ( T ) ) / 2 N_-(T)=(N(T)-A(T))/2 N − ( T ) = ( N ( T ) − A ( T )) /2 , it remains to prove A ( T ) ≪ T log T A(T)\ll T\log T A ( T ) ≪ T log T .
Fix 0 < δ < 2 log ( ( 1 + 5 ) / 2 ) 0<\delta<2\log((1+\sqrt{5})/2) 0 < δ < 2 log (( 1 + 5 ) /2 ) , and choose a nonnegative even Schwartz function ρ \rho ρ such that
∫ R ρ ( r ) d r = 1 , supp ρ ^ ⊂ ( − δ , δ ) , ρ ^ ( u ) = ∫ R ρ ( r ) e − i r u d r . \int_{\mathbb{R}}\rho(r)\,dr=1,\qquad\operatorname{supp}\widehat{\rho}\subset(-\delta,\delta),\qquad\widehat{\rho}(u)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}\rho(r)e^{-iru}\,dr. ∫ R ρ ( r ) d r = 1 , supp ρ ⊂ ( − δ , δ ) , ρ ( u ) = ∫ R ρ ( r ) e − i r u d r .
Define
h T ( r ) = ∫ − T T ρ ( r − v ) d v , g T ( u ) = 1 2 π ∫ R h T ( r ) e − i r u d r = ρ ^ ( u ) sin ( T u ) π u . h_T(r)=\int_{-T}^{T}\rho(r-v)\,dv,\qquad g_T(u)=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{\mathbb{R}}h_T(r)e^{-iru}\,dr=\widehat{\rho}(u)\frac{\sin(Tu)}{\pi u}. h T ( r ) = ∫ − T T ρ ( r − v ) d v , g T ( u ) = 2 π 1 ∫ R h T ( r ) e − i r u d r = ρ ( u ) π u sin ( T u ) .
These are admissible test functions for the Selberg trace formula. Here ρ \rho ρ , and hence h T h_T h T , is understood through its entire extension furnished by its compactly supported Fourier transform. Indeed, writing d = ∣ ∣ r ∣ − T ∣ d=||r|-T| d = ∣∣ r ∣ − T ∣ , we have
h T ( r ) = ∫ r − T r + T ρ ( u ) d u . h_T(r)=\int_{r-T}^{r+T}\rho(u)\,du. h T ( r ) = ∫ r − T r + T ρ ( u ) d u .
If ∣ r ∣ < T |r|<T ∣ r ∣ < T , the interval [ r − T , r + T ] [r-T,r+T] [ r − T , r + T ] contains [ − d , d ] [-d,d] [ − d , d ] ; if ∣ r ∣ ≥ T |r|\ge T ∣ r ∣ ≥ T , it is contained in { u : ∣ u ∣ ≥ d } \{u:|u|\ge d\} { u : ∣ u ∣ ≥ d } . Since ρ ≥ 0 \rho\ge0 ρ ≥ 0 and ∫ R ρ ( u ) d u = 1 \int_{\mathbb{R}}\rho(u)\,du=1 ∫ R ρ ( u ) d u = 1 , both cases give
∣ h T ( r ) − 1 ( − T , T ) ( r ) ∣ ≤ ∫ ∣ u ∣ ≥ d ρ ( u ) d u ≪ B ( 1 + d ) − B , (85) \left|h_T(r)-1_{(-T,T)}(r)\right|\le\int_{|u|\ge d}\rho(u)\,du\ll_B(1+d)^{-B}, \tag*{(85)} h T ( r ) − 1 ( − T , T ) ( r ) ≤ ∫ ∣ u ∣ ≥ d ρ ( u ) d u ≪ B ( 1 + d ) − B , (85)
where the last estimate follows from the Schwartz decay of ρ \rho ρ .
Apply [1 Theorem 2.1] with N = 1 N = 1 N = 1 , χ = 1 \chi= 1 χ = 1 and n = − 1 n = -1 n = − 1 . The operator T − 1 T_{-1} T − 1 is precisely R R R . With the Fourier convention above, the resulting identity is
h T ( i / 2 ) + ∑ j ε j h T ( t j ) = H − ( g T ) − 1 2 π ∫ R h T ( r ) Γ ′ Γ ( 1 + i r ) d r + log ( π 2 ) g T ( 0 ) + 2 ∑ m ≥ 2 Λ ( m ) m g T ( 2 log m ) . (86) h_T(i/2) + \sum_j \varepsilon_j h_T(t_j) = \mathcal{H}_{-}(g_T) - \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{\mathbb{R}} h_T(r)\frac{\Gamma'}{\Gamma}(1+ir)\,dr
+ \log(\pi\sqrt{2})g_T(0) + 2\sum_{m\geq2}\frac{\Lambda(m)}{m}g_T(2\log m). \tag*{(86)} h T ( i /2 ) + j ∑ ε j h T ( t j ) = H − ( g T ) − 2 π 1 ∫ R h T ( r ) Γ Γ ′ ( 1 + i r ) d r + log ( π 2 ) g T ( 0 ) + 2 m ≥ 2 ∑ m Λ ( m ) g T ( 2 log m ) . (86)
Here h T ( i / 2 ) h_T(i/2) h T ( i /2 ) is the contribution of the constant eigenfunction, and substituting [1 (2.28), (2.34)] into the (NEll + Ell) term of [1 (2.24)] gives
H − ( g T ) = ∑ t ∈ Z ∖ { 0 } c t g T ( ℓ t ) . (87) \mathcal{H}_{-}(g_T) = \sum_{t\in\mathbb{Z}\setminus\{0\}} c_t g_T(\ell_t). \tag*{(87)} H − ( g T ) = t ∈ Z ∖ { 0 } ∑ c t g T ( ℓ t ) . (87)
where
ℓ t = 2 log ∣ t ∣ + t 2 + 4 2 , t 2 + 4 = d t f t 2 , \ell_t = 2\log\frac{|t|+\sqrt{t^2+4}}{2}, \qquad t^2+4=d_t f_t^2, ℓ t = 2 log 2 ∣ t ∣ + t 2 + 4 , t 2 + 4 = d t f t 2 ,
d t d_t d t is a fundamental discriminant, f t ≥ 1 f_t\geq1 f t ≥ 1 , and
c t = h + ( d t ) log η d t t 2 + 4 ∏ p a ∥ f t ( 1 + ( p − ( d t p ) ) p a − 1 p − 1 ) . c_t = \frac{h^{+}(d_t)\log\eta_{d_t}}{\sqrt{t^2+4}}\prod_{p^a\parallel f_t}\left(1+\left(p-\left(\frac{d_t}{p}\right)\right)\frac{p^a-1}{p-1}\right). c t = t 2 + 4 h + ( d t ) log η d t p a ∥ f t ∏ ( 1 + ( p − ( p d t ) ) p − 1 p a − 1 ) .
In this expression, h + ( d ) h^{+}(d) h + ( d ) denotes the narrow ideal class number of Q ( d ) \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}) Q ( d ) , η d > 1 \eta_d>1 η d > 1 is the least unit greater than 1 of norm 1, and ( d p ) \left(\frac{d}{p}\right) ( p d ) is the Kronecker symbol. For every t ≠ 0 t\ne0 t = 0 ,
ℓ t ≥ 2 log 1 + 5 2 > δ . \ell_t \geq2\log\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}>\delta. ℓ t ≥ 2 log 2 1 + 5 > δ .
Since supp g T ⊂ ( − δ , δ ) \operatorname{supp}g_T\subset(-\delta,\delta) supp g T ⊂ ( − δ , δ ) , (A.4) gives H − ( g T ) = 0 \mathcal{H}_{-}(g_T)=0 H − ( g T ) = 0 . The prime-power sum in (A.3) also vanishes, since 2 log m ≥ 2 log 2 > δ 2\log m\geq2\log2>\delta 2 log m ≥ 2 log 2 > δ . Stirling’s formula, together with g T ( 0 ) = T / π g_T(0)=T/\pi g T ( 0 ) = T / π and h T ( i / 2 ) = O ( 1 ) h_T(i/2)=O(1) h T ( i /2 ) = O ( 1 ) , now yields
∑ j ε j h T ( t j ) ≪ ∫ R h T ( r ) log ( 2 + ∣ r ∣ ) d r + T + 1 ≪ T log T . (88) \sum_j\varepsilon_j h_T(t_j)\ll\int_{\mathbb{R}}h_T(r)\log(2+|r|)\,dr+T+1\ll T\log T. \tag*{(88)} j ∑ ε j h T ( t j ) ≪ ∫ R h T ( r ) log ( 2 + ∣ r ∣ ) d r + T + 1 ≪ T log T . (88)
To remove the smoothing, (A.1) implies
# { j : k ≤ t j < k + 1 } ≪ ( k + 1 ) log ( k + 2 ) ( k ∈ Z ≥ 0 ) . \#\{j:k\leq t_j<k+1\}\ll(k+1)\log(k+2)\qquad(k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq0}). # { j : k ≤ t j < k + 1 } ≪ ( k + 1 ) log ( k + 2 ) ( k ∈ Z ≥ 0 ) .
The estimate (A.2) with B > 3 B>3 B > 3 then gives
∑ j ∣ h T ( t j ) − 1 ( 0 , T ) ( t j ) ∣ ≪ T log T . \sum_j\left|h_T(t_j)-\mathbf{1}_{(0,T)}(t_j)\right|\ll T\log T. j ∑ h T ( t j ) − 1 ( 0 , T ) ( t j ) ≪ T log T .
Consequently (A.5) implies A ( T ) ≪ T log T A(T)\ll T\log T A ( T ) ≪ T log T , which proves the lemma. □
