Homework Statement



let S(R) be the schwartz space, M(R) be the set of moderately decreasing functions, F be the Fourier transform

Suppose F:S(R)->S(R) is an isometry, ie is satisfies ||F(g)|| = ||g|| for every g in S(R). Show that there exists a unique extension G: M(R)->M(R) which is an isometry, ie a function G: M(R)->M(R) so that for any g in S(R) we have G(g) = F(g), and for any g in M(R) we have ||G(g)|| = ||g||.

hint: You may use that for any g in M(R) there exists a sequence {g_n} subset in S(R) such that ||g_n - g|| converges to 0

note: make sure you prove that both that G exists, and that it is unique

The Attempt at a Solution



i was thinking of showing that F is 1-1, onto, and linear, just to expand my options. also using the hint to show that there exists F(h_k) converging to F(f), and then ||h_k - f|| converges to 0, and then defining h_k(t) as equal to f(t) for all |t| < k, and 0 otherwise

i heard that to do it for the L2, you extend it by density, but i don't know what that means
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
