On a problem by R. Salem concerning Minkowski's question mark function

Abstract

Minkowski's question mark function is strictly increasing on $[0, 1]$ and hence defines a Stieltjes measure on $[0, 1]$. A problem originating from Salem in 1943, is to determine whether the Fourier series of this measure decay to zero or not. The purpose of this note is to mention that a recent result by Jordan and Sahlsten implies that the Fourier transform decays to zero with a polynomial speed.
