The object is to unify and complement some recent theorems of Hewitt and Ritter on the integrability of Fourier transforms, but the underlying theme is the ancient one that Plancherel's theorem is the “only” integrability constraint on Fourier transforms. The distinguishing feature of the results is that we restrict attention to positive measures (or functions) which satisfy an ergodic condition and whose transforms are positive. (In fact we employ sums of discrete random variables, a technique which seems to have been largely ignored in context.) The general setting is that of locally compact abelian groups but we are chiefly interested in the line or the circle, and it appears that the theorems are new for these classical groups.
