This paper is devoted to give several characterizations on a more general level for the boundedness of $τ$-Wigner distributions acting from weighted modulation spaces to weighted modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces. As applications, sharp exponents are obtained for the boundedness of $τ$-Wigner distributions on modulation spaces with power weights. We also recapture the main theorems of Wigner distribution obtained in \cite{CorderoNicola2018IMRNI,Cordero2020a}. As consequences, the characterizations of the boundedness on weighted modulation spaces of several types of pseudodifferential operators are established. In particular, we give the sharp exponents for the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in Sjöstrand's class and the corresponding Wiener amalgam spaces.
This paper provides sufficient conditions for the boundedness of Weyl operators on modulation spaces. The Weyl symbols belong to Wiener amalgam spaces, or generalized modulation spaces, as recently renamed by their inventor Hans Feichtinger. This is the first result which relates symbols in Wiener amalgam spaces to operators acting on classical modulation spaces.
Boundedness results for multilinear pseudodifferential operators on products of modulation spaces are derived based on ordered integrability conditions on the short-time Fourier transform of the operators' symbols. The flexibility and strength of the introduced methods is demonstrated by their application to the bilinear and trilinear Hilbert transform.
We introduce new classes of modulation spaces over phase space. By means of the Kohn-Nirenberg correspondence, these spaces induce norms on pseudo-differential operators that bound their operator norms on $L^p$-spaces, Sobolev spaces, and modulation spaces.
We prove that pseudo-differential operators with symbols in the class $S_{1,δ}^0$ ($0<δ<1$) are not always bounded on the modulation space $M^{p,q}$ ($q\neq2$).
In this paper, we study the boundedness of pseudo-differential operators with symbols in $S_{ρ,δ}^m$ on the modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$. We discuss the order $m$ for the boundedness $\mathrm{Op}(S_{ρ,δ}^m) \subset \calL(M^{p,q}(\R^n))$ to be true. We also prove the existence of a Calderón-Zygmund operator which is not bounded on the modulation space $M^{p,q}$ with $q \neq 2$. This unboundedness is still true even if we assume a generalized T(1) condition. These results are induced by the unboundedness of pseudo-differential operators on $M^{p,q}$ whose symbols are of the class $S_{1,δ}^0$ with…
In this paper, we establish the asymptotic estimates for the norms of the matrix dilation operators on modulation spaces. As an application, we study the boundedness on modulation spaces of Hausdorff operators. The definition of Hausdorff operators are also revisited for fitting our study.
We prove the boundedness of a general class of multipliers and Fourier multipliers, in particular of the Hilbert transform, on quasi-Banach modulation spaces. We also deduce boundedness for multiplications and convolutions for elements in such spaces.
It is known that Fourier integral operators arising when solving Schrödinger-type operators are bounded on the modulation spaces $\cM^{p,q}$, for $1\leq p=q\leq\infty$, provided their symbols belong to the Sjöstrand class $M^{\infty,1}$. However, they generally fail to be bounded on $\cM^{p,q}$ for $p\not=q$. In this paper we study several additional conditions, to be imposed on the phase or on the symbol, which guarantee the boundedness on $\cM^{p,q}$ for $p\not=q$, and between $\cM^{p,q}\to\cM^{q,p}$, $1\leq q< p\leq\infty$. We also study similar problems for operators acting on Wiener amalg…
Time-frequency analysis have played a crucial role in the development of localization operators in the last twenty years. We present its applications to the study of boundedness and Schatten Class property for such operators. In particular, new sufficient conditions for such operators to belong to the Schatten-von Neumann Class $S_p$, $0<p<1$, are exhibited. As a byproduct, sharp continuity results for the Wigner distribution are also presented.
We extended the known result that symbols from modulation spaces $M^{\infty,1}(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$, also known as the Sjöstrand's class, produce bounded operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, to general $L^p$ boundedness at the cost of lost of derivatives. Indeed, we showed that pseudo-differential operators acting from $L^p$-Sobolev spaces $L^p_s(\mathbb{R}^n)$ to $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ spaces with symbols from the modulation space $M^{\infty,1}(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$ are bounded, whenever $s\geq n|1/p-1/2|.$ This estimate is sharp for all $1\leq p\leq\infty$.
We investigate the boundedness of unimodular Fourier multipliers on modulation spaces. Surprisingly, the multipliers with general symbol $e^{i|ξ|^α}$, where $α\in[0, 2]$, are bounded on all modulation spaces, but, in general, fail to be bounded on the usual $L^p$-spaces. As a consequence, the phase-space concentration of the solutions to the free Schrödinger and wave equations are preserved. As a byproduct, we also obtain boundedness results on modulation spaces for singular multipliers $|ξ|^{-δ} \sin (|ξ|^α)$ for $ 0 \leq δ\leq α$.
We study the notion of molecules in coorbit spaces. The main result states that if an operator, originally defined on an appropriate space of test functions, maps atoms to molecules, then it can be extended to a bounded operator on coorbit spaces. For time-frequency molecules we recover some boundedness results on modulation spaces, for time-scale molecules we obtain the boundedness on homogenous Besov spaces.
The cross-Wigner distribution $W(f,g)$ of two functions or temperate distributions $f,g$ is a fundamental tool in quantum mechanics and in signal analysis. Usually, in applications in time-frequency analysis $f$ and $g$ belong to some modulation space and it is important to know which modulation spaces $W(f,g)$ belongs to. Although several particular sufficient conditions have been appeared in this connection, the general problem remains open. In the present paper we solve completely this issue by providing the full range of modulation spaces in which the continuity of the cross-Wigner distrib…
In this article, we study properties of multilinear Fourier integral operators on weighted modulation spaces. In particular, using the theory of Gabor frames, we study boundedness of multilinear Fourier integral operators on products of weighted modulation spaces. Further, we investigate the periodic multilinear Fourier integral operator. Finally, we study continuity of bilinear pseudo-differential operators on modulation spaces for certain symbol classes, namely $\textbf{SG}$-class.
We study the existence of the product of two weighted modulation spaces. For this purpose we discuss two different strategies. The more simple one allows transparent proofs in various situations. However, our second method allows a closer look onto associated norm inequalities under restrictions in the Fourier image. This will give us the opportunity to treat the boundedness of composition operators.
We introduce new quasi-Banach modulation spaces on locally compact abelian (LCA) groups which coincide with the classical ones in the Banach setting and prove their main properties. Then we study Gabor frames on quasi-lattices, significantly extending the original theory introduced by Gröchenig and Strohmer. These issues are the key tools in showing boundedness results for Kohn-Nirenberg and localization operators on modulation spaces and studying their eigenfunctions' properties. In particular, the results in the Euclidean space are recaptured.
We prove that if $ω_1$ and $ω_2$ are moderate weights and $\mascB$ is a suitable (quasi-)Banach function space, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the embedding $i\, :\, M (ω_1,\mascB )\to M (ω_2,\mascB )$ between two modulation spaces to be compact is that the quotient $ω_2/ω_1$ vanishes at infinity. Moreover we show, that the boundedness of $ω_2/ω_1$ a necessary and sufficient condition for the previous embedding to be continuous.
We give a self-contained introduction to (quasi-)Banach modulation spaces of ultradistributions, and review results on boundedness for multiplications and convolutions for elements in such spaces. Furthermore, we use these results to study the Gabor product. As an example, we show how it appears in a phase-space formulation of the nonlinear cubic Schrödinger equation.
We consider a class of Fourier integral operators, globally defined on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, with symbols and phases satisfying product type estimates (the so-called $SG$ or scattering classes). We prove a sharp continuity result for such operators when acting on the modulation spaces $M^p$. The minimal loss of derivatives is shown to be $d|1/2-1/p|$. This global perspective produces a loss of decay as well, given by the same order. Strictly related, striking examples of unboundedness on $L^p$ spaces are presented.
In the last twenty years modulation spaces, introduced by H. G. Feichtinger in 1983, have been successfully addressed to the study of signal analysis, PDE's, pseudodifferential operators, quantum mechanics, by hundreds of contributions. In 2011 M. de Gosson showed that the time-frequency representation Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT), which is the tool to define modulation spaces, can be replaced by the Wigner distribution. This idea was further generalized to $τ$-Wigner representations in [9]. In this paper time-frequency representations are viewed as images of symplectic matrices via met…
In this paper, we study the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the Hörmander class $S^0_{ρ,ρ}$ on $α$-modulation spaces $M_{p,q}^{s,α}$, and consider the relation between $α$ and $ρ$. In particular, we show that pseudodifferential operators with symbols in $S^0_{α,α}$ are bounded on all $α$-modulation spaces $M^{s,α}_{p,q}$, for arbitrary $s\in\mathbb{R}$ and for the whole range of exponents $0 < p,q \leq \infty$.
We introduce multilinear localization operators in terms of the short-time Fourier transform, and multilinear Weyl pseudodifferential operators. We prove that such localization operators are in fact Weyl pseudodifferential operators whose symbols are given by the convolution between the symbol of the localization operator and the multilinear Wigner transform. For such interpretation we use the kenrel theorem for the Gelfand-Shilov space. Furthermore, we study the continuity properties of the multilinear localization operators on modulation spaces. Our results extend some known results when res…
We give a complete characterization of the continuity of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$, acting on a given Lebesgue space $L^r$. Namely, we find the full range of triples $(p,q,r)$, for which such a boundedness occurs. More generally, we completely characterize the same problem for operators acting on Wiener amalgam space $W(L^r,L^s)$ and even on modulation spaces $M^{r,s}$. Finally the action of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in $W(\Fur L^1,L^\infty)$ is also investigated.
We study a class of almost diagonal matrices compatible with the mixed-norm $α$-modulation spaces $M_{\vec{p},q}^{s,α}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $α\in [0,1]$, introduced recently by Cleanthous and Georgiadis [Trans.\ Amer.\ Math.\ Soc.\ 373 (2020), no. 5, 3323-3356]. The class of almost diagonal matrices is shown to be closed under matrix multiplication and we connect the theory to the continuous case by identifying a suitable notion of molecules for the mixed-norm $α$-modulation spaces. We show that the "change of frame" matrix for a pair of time-frequency frames for the mixed-norm $α$-modulation consi…
In this paper we focus on the almost-diagonalization properties of $τ$-pseudodifferential operators using techniques from time-frequency analysis. Our function spaces are modulation spaces and the special class of Wiener amalgam spaces arising by considering the action of the Fourier transform of modulation spaces. A particular example is provided by the Sjöstrand class, for which Gröchenig exhibited the almost diagonalization of Weyl operators. We shall show that such result can be extended to any $τ$-pseudodifferential operator, for $τ\in [0,1]$, also with symbol in weighted Wiener amalgam s…
In this paper various properties of global and local changes of variables as well as properties of canonical transforms are investigated on modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces. We establish several relations among localisations of modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces and, as a consequence, we obtain several versions of local and global Beurling-Helson type theorems. We also establish a number of positive results such as local boundedness of canonical transforms on modulation spaces, properties of homogeneous changes of variables, and local continuity of Fourier integral operators on Fourier L…
We study continuity properties on modulation spaces for $τ$-pseudodifferential operators with symbols $a$ in Wiener amalgam spaces. We obtain boundedness results for $τ\in (0,1)$ whereas, in the end-points $τ=0$ and $τ=1$, the corresponding operators are in general unbounded. Furthermore, for $τ\in (0,1)$, we exhibit a function of $τ$ which is an upper bound for the operator norm. The continuity properties of $τ$-pseudodifferential operators, for any $τ\in [0,1]$, with symbols $a$ in modulation spaces are well known. Here we find an upper bound for the operator norm which does not depend on th…
We study the continuity on the modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$ of Fourier multipliers with symbols of the type $e^{iμ(ξ)}$, for some real-valued function $μ(ξ)$. A number of results are known, assuming that the derivatives of order $\geq 2$ of the phase $μ(ξ)$ are bounded or, more generally, that its second derivatives belong to the Sjöstrand class $M^{\infty,1}$. Here we extend those results, by assuming that the second derivatives lie in the bigger Wiener amalgam space $W(\mathcal{F} L^1,L^\infty)$; in particular they could have stronger oscillations at infinity such as $\cos |ξ|^2$. Actually ou…
It is standard to assume that the Wigner distribution of a mixed quantum state consisting of square-integrable functions is a quasi-probability distribution, that is that its integral is one and that the marginal properties are satisfied. However this is in general not true. We introduce a class of quantum states for which this property is satisfied, these states are dubbed "Feichtinger states" because they are defined in terms of a class of functional spaces (modulation spaces) introduced in the 1980's by H. Feichtinger. The properties of these states are studied, which gives us the opportuni…
We approach uncertainty principles of Cowling-Price-Heis-\\enberg-type as a variational principle on modulation spaces. In our discussion we are naturally led to compact localization operators with symbols in modulation spaces. The optimal constant in these uncertainty principles is the smallest eigenvalue of the inverse of a compact localization operator. The Euler-Lagrange equations for the associated functional provide equations for the eigenfunctions of the smallest eigenvalue of these compact localization operators. As a by-product of our proofs we derive a generalization to mixed-norm sp…
This paper offers a review of the results concerning localization operators on modulation spaces, and related topics. However, our approach, based on the Grossmann-Royer transform, gives a new insight and (slightly) different proofs. We define the Grossmann-Royer transform as interpretation of the Grossmann-Royer operator in the weak sense. Although such transform is essentially the same as the cross-Wigner distribution, the proofs of several known results are simplified when it is used instead of other time-frequency representations. Due to the importance of their role in applications when de…
We consider a class of linear Schrödinger equations in R^d with rough Hamiltonian, namely with certain derivatives in the Sjöstrand class $M^{\infty,1}$. We prove that the corresponding propagator is bounded on modulation spaces. The present results improve several contributions recently appeared in the literature and can be regarded as the evolution counterpart of the fundamental result of Sjöstrand about the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators with symbols in that class. Finally we consider nonlinear perturbations of real-analytic type and we prove local wellposedness of the correspo…
