Time-frequency Localization in the Fourier Symmetric Sobolev Space
Abstract We study concentration operators acting on the Fourier symmetric Sobolev space $$\mathcal {H}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>H</mml:mi> </mml:math> consisting of functions f such that $$\int _{\mathbb {R}} |f(x)|^2(1+x^2) dx + \int _{\mathbb {R}} |\hat{f}(\xi )|^2(1+\xi ^2) d\xi < \infty $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mo>∫</mml:mo> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>|</mml:mo> <mml:mi>f</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>|</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>d</mml:mi> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:msub> <mml:mo>∫</mml:mo> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>|</mml:mo> <mml:mover> <mml:mi>f</mml:mi> <mml:mo>^</mml:mo> </mml:mover> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>ξ</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo>|</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>+</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>ξ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>d</mml:mi> <mml:mi>ξ</mml:mi> <mml:mo><</mml:mo> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . We find that the Bargmann transform is a unitary operator from $$\mathcal {H}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>H</mml:mi> </mml:math> to a weighted Fock space. After identifying the reproducing kernel of $$\mathcal {H}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>H</mml:mi> </mml:math> , we discover an unexpected phenomenon about the decay of the eigenvalues of a two-sided concentration operator, namely that the plunge region is of the same order of magnitude as the region where the eigenvalues are close to 1, contrasting the classical case of Paley–Wiener spaces.
