Title: Ingham type theorems

Abstract

We report on some joint works with C. Baiocchi and P. Loreti. In 1936 Ingham improved a previous result of Wiener on nonharmonic Fourier series. Modifying his weight function we obtain optimal results improving several earlier theorems of Kahane and Beurling, among others. Our approach reveals a formerly hidden link with the variational characterization of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian operator. Our results can also be applied to solve various observability problems.
