Poisson kernel on the circle

ID: poisson-kernel-on-the-circle

For , the geometric series gives . Hence this positive even kernel has normalized integral one, and normalized convolution with it multiplies the th Fourier coefficient by . Its mass outside any fixed neighbourhood of zero tends to zero as . If an integrable function has finite one-sided limits at zero, evenness gives half the mass to each side and the convolution tends to .
