Résumé - Abstract

We study the “Fourier symmetry” of measures and distributions on the circle, in relation with the size of their supports. The main results of this paper are:

(i) A one-side extension of Frostman’s theorem, which connects the rate of decay of Fourier transform of a distribution with the Hausdorff dimension of its support;

(ii) A construction of compacts of “critical” size, which support distributions (even pseudo-functions) with anti-analytic part belonging to $l^{2}$.

We also give examples of non-symmetry which may occur for measures with “small” support. A number of open questions are stated.
