Observable set, observability, interpolation inequality and spectral inequality for the heat equation in mathbb{R}^n

This paper studies connections among observable sets, the observability inequality, the H\"{o}lder-type interpolation inequality and the spectral inequality for the heat equation in $\mathbb R^n$. We present a characteristic of observable sets for the heat equation. In more detail, we show that a measurable set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfies the observability inequality if and only if it is $\gamma$-thick at scale $L$ for some $\gamma>0$ and $L>0$.We also build up the equivalence among the above-mentioned three inequalities. More precisely, we obtain that if a measurable set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfies one of these inequalities, then it satisfies others. Finally, we get some weak observability inequalities and weak interpolation inequalities where observations are made over a ball.
