Let ${\mathcal F}L^q_s ({\mathbf R}^2)$ denote the set of all tempered distributions $f \in {\mathcal S}^\prime ({\mathbf R}^2)$ such that the norm $\| f \|_{{\mathcal F}L^q_s} = (\int_{{\mathbf R}^2}\, ( |{\mathcal F}[f](\xi)| \,( 1+ |\xi| )^s )^q\, d \xi )^{ \frac{1}{q} }$ is finite, where ${\mathcal F}[f]$ denotes the Fourier transform of $f$. We investigate the spectral synthesis for the unit circle $S^1 \subset {\mathbf R}^2$ in ${\mathcal F}L^q_s ({\mathbf R}^2)$ with $1\frac{2}{q^\prime}$, where $q^\prime$ denotes the conjugate exponent of $q$. This is joint work with Prof. Sato (Yamagata University).
