The Trigonometric System on the Torus is Orthonormal

Each member of the trigonometric system is continuous and periodic, so defines a class in the Lebesgue space of square-integrable functions on the torus; these classes form an orthonormal family indexed by the integer lattice.

Statement

We work in the setting of The Flat Torus: Standing Notation, used here with a natural number nn satisfying 1≤n1\le n; the initial segments [n][n], Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, the integer lattice Zn\mathbb{Z}^{n}, the half-open unit cell QQ, the class CperC_{\mathrm{per}}, the space L2(Tn)\mathcal{L}^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n}), the real Hilbert space L2(Tn)L^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n}) with the class [v][v] of v∈L2(Tn)v\in\mathcal{L}^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n}), and the restriction v∣Qv|_{Q} are the ones fixed there; ⟨ ⋅ ,⋅ ⟩L2(Tn)\langle\,\cdot\,,\cdot\,\rangle_{L^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n})} denotes the inner product of that Hilbert space, as adopted in The Flat Torus: Standing Notation (iv). Let Z\mathbb{Z} be the set of integers, let π\pi be the real number of The Number Pi (i), let 2=1+12=1+1, let ϕm\phi_{m} for m∈Zm\in\mathbb{Z} be the one-dimensional trigonometric maps and eke_{k} for k∈Znk\in\mathbb{Z}^{n} the trigonometric system on Tn\mathbb{T}^{n}, and let 2\sqrt{2} denote, as there, the unique nonnegative real number whose square is 22. Let JJ and (J,BJ,λJ)(J,\mathcal{B}_{J},\lambda_{J}) be as in The Integral over the Unit Cell of a Product of One-Variable Functions, and for a map w:R→Rw:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} write ∫Jw dλJ\int_{J}w\,d\lambda_{J} for the integral of w∣Jw|_{J}, as in Cell Integrals of the Trigonometric Monomials. For maps v,wv,w on a common domain, vwvw denotes the pointwise product, and ∣t∣|t| denotes the absolute value of a real number tt. Differentiability at a point, with a given derivative, of a map R→R\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} is that notion on the interval R\mathbb{R}, every point of which is an interior point of it by Basic Facts about Intervals of the Real Line (i). Then the following hold.

1. (Regularity, and the classes of the system) Let k∈Znk\in\mathbb{Z}^{n}. Then ek∈Cpere_{k}\in C_{\mathrm{per}}; consequently ek∣Qe_{k}|_{Q} is measurable with respect to BQ\mathcal{B}_{Q} and belongs to L2(Tn)\mathcal{L}^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n}), by Continuous Periodic Functions are Power-Integrable and Dense on the Torus (i). We write

Ek=[ ek∣Q ]∈L2(Tn).E_{k}=\bigl[\,e_{k}|_{Q}\,\bigr]\in L^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n}).

2. (Orthonormality in one variable) Let a,b∈Za,b\in\mathbb{Z}. Then ϕaϕb\phi_{a}\phi_{b} is continuous on R\mathbb{R} and its restriction to JJ is λJ\lambda_{J}-integrable, and ∫Jϕaϕb dλJ\int_{J}\phi_{a}\phi_{b}\,d\lambda_{J} equals 11 if a=ba=b and equals 00 if a≠ba\ne b.

3. (Orthonormality on the torus) Let k,m∈Znk,m\in\mathbb{Z}^{n}. Then ⟨Ek,Em⟩L2(Tn)\langle E_{k},E_{m}\rangle_{L^{2}(\mathbb{T}^{n})} equals 11 if k=mk=m and equals 00 if k≠mk\ne m.

4. (Derivatives and bounds in one variable) Let m∈Zm\in\mathbb{Z}. Then ϕm\phi_{m} is differentiable at every t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R} with

ϕm′(t)=−2πm ϕ−m(t),\phi_{m}'(t)=-2\pi m\,\phi_{-m}(t),

and ∣ϕm(t)∣≤2|\phi_{m}(t)|\le\sqrt{2} for every t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R}.
