On finite configurations in the spectra of singular measures

Abstract

We establish various forms of the following certainty principle: a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ contains a given finite linear pattern, provided that $S$ is a support of the Fourier transform of a sufficiently singular probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. As its main corollary, we provide new dimensional estimates for PDE- and Fourier-constrained vector measures. Those results, in certain cases of restrictions given by homogeneous operators, improve known bounds related to the notion of the $k$-wave cone.
