Canonical Mandelbrot Cascades on Curves Are Rajchman

We settle the Rajchman problem for canonical scalar dyadic Mandelbrot cascades at the minimal Kahane--Peyri\`ere integrability threshold. If $\mu$ is the cascade on $[0,1]$, then $\widehat{\mu}(\xi)\to 0$ as $|\xi|\to\infty$, almost surely on non-extinction. For every fixed nondegenerate $C^2$ embedded arc $\gamma:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}^2$, the pushforward $\gamma_\#\mu$ is likewise Rajchman almost surely on non-extinction. The analogous conclusion holds for the scalar cascade on the parameter circle pushed forward by any fixed nondegenerate $C^2$ Jordan curve. No moment condition of order strictly greater than one is imposed; in particular, the results include the regime $\mathbb{E}[W^q]=\infty$ for every $q>1$. The proof combines a spine-based lower-deviation principle, adaptive terminal approximation, and predictable capping to obtain almost-sure estimates uniform over large frequency annuli without higher moments. For curved pushforwards, an endpoint-safe phase decomposition controls direction-dependent stationary regions, including those meeting the endpoints of an arc, and couples the geometric and probabilistic arguments through a common dyadic kernel. Combined with the exact Fourier-dimension formulas for the corresponding models, the theorems show that Rajchman decay persists at zero Fourier dimension.

Exact Fourier dimensions of dyadic Mandelbrot cascades under minimal integrability

We determine the Fourier dimension of dyadic Mandelbrot cascades under the minimal Kahane-Peyriere integrability condition. The interval theorem is proved in a vector-valued dyadic cascade model in which sibling weights may have arbitrary dependence. For every balanced energy-admissible vector law, almost surely on non-extinction, dim_F(mu)=dim_E(mu)=dim_2(mu)=D_E(X). In the canonical scalar case, under W>=0, E W=1, E[W log_2^+ W] 1} max{0, (q-1-log_2 E[W^q])/q}. The interval and circle formulas share a light-tail/heavy-tail dichotomy but have different mechanisms: energy dimension for the interval, and minimum lower local dimension for the circle. The circle lower bound follows from a finite-moment annular Fourier theorem.
