The nonintegrability conjecture for PV refinable distributions

Let λ\lambda be a Pisot–Vijayaraghavan (PV) number, let ff be a nonzero refinable distribution for dilation by λ\lambda, and suppose its translations lie in

Z[1,λ,,λn1].\mathbb{Z}[1,\lambda,\ldots,\lambda^{n-1}].

Here Q[λ]\mathbb{Q}[\lambda] denotes the field generated by λ\lambda over Q\mathbb{Q}, and f^\widehat f is the Fourier transform of ff. PV nonintegrability conjecture. There exists αQ[λ]{0}\alpha\in\mathbb{Q}[\lambda]\setminus\{0\} and γC{0}\gamma\in\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\} such that

limkf^(λkα)=γ.\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty}\widehat f(\lambda^k\alpha)=\gamma.

Consequently, the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma implies that ff is not integrable. This conjecture is proposed as an extension of results of Erdős, Kahane, and Dai–Feng–Wang to certain noninteger translation values.
