Abstract

We show that the Banach space M of regular σ-additive finite Borel complex-valued measures on a non-discrete locally compact Hausdorff topological Abelian group is the direct sum of two linear closed subspaces MD and MND, where MD is the set of measures μ ∈ M whose Fourier transform vanishes at infinity and MND is the set of measures μ ∈ M such that ν ∉ MD for any ν ∈ M {0} absolutely continuous with respect to the variation |μ|. For any corresponding decomposition μ = μD + μND (μD ∈ MD and μND ∈ MND) there exist a Borel set A = A(μ) such that μD is the restriction of μ to A, therefore the measures μD and μND are singular with respect to each other. The measures μD and μND are real if μ is real and positive if μ is positive. In the case of singular continuous measures we have a refinement of Jordan's decomposition theorem. We provide series of examples of different behaviour of convolutions of measures from MD and MND.
