Abstract
The behavior at infinity of the Fourier transform of the random
measures that appear in the theory of multiplicative chaos of
Mandelbrot, Peyrière, and Kahane is an area quite unexplored.
For context and further reference, we first present an overview
of this theory and then the result, which is the main objective of
this work, generalizing a result previously announced by Kahane. We establish an estimate for the asymptotic behavior of
the second moment of the Fourier transform of the limit random
measure in the theory of multiplicative chaos. After looking at the behavior at infinity of the Fourier
transform of some remarkable functions and measures, we prove a
formula essentially due to Frostman, involving the Riesz kernels.
