When does the integral over points on the unit circle get 1 for a probability measure?
$begingroup$
I am studying probability theory and want to solve the following exercise.
Exercise.
Let $X$ be a real random variable. Then the following are equal:
$mathbb{P}left( X in a + bmathbb{Z}right) = 1$ for some $a, b in mathbb{R}$.
- There exists a $z in mathbb{R}$ such that $lvert mathbb{hat{P}}left(zright)rvert = 1$.
Here, $mathbb{hat{P}}$ is the characteristic function of the probability measure $mathbb{P}$.
I was able to show "$Rightarrow$" but for the other direction I guess I need this statement:
For any probability measure $mathbb{P}$, if we have
$$
leftlvert int_mathbb{R} e^{itx} dmathbb{P}left(xright) rightrvert = 1 ;text{for a}; t inmathbb{R}setminus{0},
$$
then $exp(itx) = u$ for a $u in mathbb{C}$ with $lvert u rvert = 1$ (almost surely).
This is clear to me from graphical considerations but I have no clue how to show it formally.

The characteristic function's square modulus is $(mathbb{E}cos tX)^2+(mathbb{E}sin tX)^2=1-operatorname{Var}cos tX-operatorname{Var}sin tX$, requiring $cos tX,,sin tX$ to be constant variables, which is equivalent to $tantfrac{tX}{2}$ being constant.

You wish to show that if $f:mathbb{R} to mathbb{C}$ is s.t. $|f(x)| le 1$ for each $x$ and $|int_mathbb{R} f(x)dmu(x)| = 1$ for some probability measure $mu$, then $f$ is constant $mu$-a.e..
By multiplying $f$ by a constant, we may assume $int_mathbb{R} f(x)dmu(x) = 1$. Then, $int_mathbb{R} Re[f(x)]dmu(x) = 1$ and $Re[f(x)] le 1$ for each $x$, so we must have $Re[f(x)] = 1$ for $mu$-a.e. $x$. It follows that $f = 1$ $mu$-a.e..
