Trigonometric quasi-greedy bases for $L^p(\bT;w)$

Abstract

We give a complete characterization of $2\pi$-periodic weights $w$ for which the usual trigonometric system forms a quasi-greedy basis for $L^p(\bT;w)$, i.e., bases for which simple thresholding approximants converge in norm. The characterization implies that this can happen only for $p=2$ and whenever the system forms a quasi-greedy basis, the basis must actually be a Riesz basis.
