The Lebesgue constants on projective spaces

Abstract

We give the solution of a classical problem of Approximation Theory on sharp asymptotic of the Lebesgueconstants or norms of the Fourier-Laplace projections on the real projective spaces Pd(R). In particular, these resultsextend sharp asymptotic found by Fejer [2] in the case of S1in 1910 and by Gronwall [4] in 1914 in the case of S2. Thecase of spheres, Sd, complex and quaternionic projective spaces, Pd(C), Pd(H) and the Cayley elliptic plane P16(Cay)was considered by Kushpel [8].
