The metaplectic action on modulation spaces

arXiv (Cornell University)

Abstract

We study the mapping properties of metaplectic operators $\widehat{S}\in \mathrm{Mp}(2d,\mathbb{R})$ on modulation spaces of the type $\mathrm{M}^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d)$. Our main result is a full characterisation of the pairs $(\widehat{S},\mathrm{M}^{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d))$ for which the operator $\widehat{S}:\mathrm{M}^{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d) \to \mathrm{M}^{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is (i) well-defined, (ii) bounded. It turns out that these two properties are equivalent, and they entail that $\widehat{S}$ is a Banach space automorphism. For polynomially bounded weight functions, we provide a simple sufficient criterion to determine whether the well-definedness (boundedness) of ${\widehat{S}:\mathrm{M}^{p,q}{}(\mathbb{R}^d)\to \mathrm{M}^{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d)}$ transfers to $\widehat{S}:\mathrm{M}^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d)\to \mathrm{M}^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d)$.
