Signal squared in time domain In some publication I have found a formula that for some reason squares signal in time domain.
I am analyzing it now.

What should be the Fourier transform of a signal that was squared in time domain? I do not understand why $\mathcal{F}[sin(x)^2]$ results in peak in zero and why side peaks are moved.

I fully understand the fact that multiplication in time domain is convolution in frequency domain and squaring is just $x\times x$.
If somebody squares a real signal in the time domain, he probably deals with the signal's energy. Since this is a pointwise product, this results in a convolution in the Fourier domain: 

$$ \mathcal{F}(x\times x) = \mathcal{F}(x)\ast  \mathcal{F}(x) $$

In some cases, as stated by @MBaz, sometimes trigonometric identities can explain the frequency shift, as:


$\cos^2 x=\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos2x)$
$\sin^2 x=\frac{1}{2}(1-\cos2x)$


From the above formulae, one can see that:


they are positive, and the non-oscillatory term is $1/2 \cos(0x)$, explaining a peak at frequency zero,
the scalar before $x$ has doubled, explaining the peak moves.
