The Trigonometric System on the Torus

The real trigonometric system on the flat torus, indexed by the integer lattice: a normalised cosine or sine in each coordinate according to the sign of the index, multiplied together.

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} and the integer lattice Zn\mathbb{Z}^{n} are the ones fixed there. Let Z\mathbb{Z} be the set of integers and, for m∈Zm\in\mathbb{Z}, let Cm,Sm:R→RC_{m},S_{m}:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} be the trigonometric monomials Cm(t)=cos⁡(2πmt)C_{m}(t)=\cos(2\pi mt) and Sm(t)=sin⁡(2πmt)S_{m}(t)=\sin(2\pi mt) introduced there. Let 2=1+12=1+1 and let 2\sqrt{2} denote the unique nonnegative real number whose square is 22, which exists by Existence and Uniqueness of the Nonnegative Square Root of a Nonnegative Real Number, applied to the real number 22, which is nonnegative by claim 8 of Elementary Order Arithmetic in an Ordered Field. Finite products of real numbers are the finite products of that definition, formed in the field of real numbers.

1. (The one-dimensional system) For m∈Zm\in\mathbb{Z} the map ϕm:R→R\phi_{m}:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R} is defined by

ϕ0(t)=1,ϕm(t)=2 Cm(t)if 0<m,ϕm(t)=2 S−m(t)if m<0,\phi_{0}(t)=1,\qquad \phi_{m}(t)=\sqrt{2}\,C_{m}(t)\quad\text{if }0<m,\qquad \phi_{m}(t)=\sqrt{2}\,S_{-m}(t)\quad\text{if }m<0,

for t∈Rt\in\mathbb{R}. This is well defined: the three cases are mutually exclusive and cover every m∈Zm\in\mathbb{Z} by claim 1 of Arithmetic, Order, Discreteness and Intervals of the Integers, and −m∈Z-m\in\mathbb{Z} by claim 2 of that lemma.

2. (The trigonometric system on the torus) For k∈Znk\in\mathbb{Z}^{n} the map ek:Rn→Re_{k}:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} is defined by

ek(x)=∏i=1nϕki(xi)(x∈Rn),e_{k}(x)=\prod_{i=1}^{n}\phi_{k_{i}}(x_{i})\qquad(x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}),

which is meaningful because ki∈Zk_{i}\in\mathbb{Z} for every i∈[n]i\in[n] by Lattice-Periodic Functions and the Periodic Function Classes (i). The family of all these maps, indexed by k∈Znk\in\mathbb{Z}^{n}, is called the trigonometric system on Tn\mathbb{T}^{n}.
