Continuity properties for modulation spaces, with applications to pseudo-differential calculus. I. (Q1427631): Difference between revisions

In this interesting and well written paper the author studies functional properties within the theory of modulation spaces. Given \(1\leq p\), \(q\leq\infty\) and a non-zero test function \(\chi\) in the Schwartz class \({\mathcal S}\), the space \(M^{p,q}\), introduced by F. G. Feichtinger in the 1980s, consists of those tempered distributions \(a\) satisfying the condition \[ \Biggl(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \Biggl(\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} |(a\chi(\cdot- x))^\wedge(\xi)|^p\,dx\Biggr)^{q/p}\, d\xi\Biggr)^{1/q}< \infty, \] with obvious modifications when \(p=\infty\) or \(q=\infty\). In the first section the author studies how the spaces \(M^{p,q}\) change with \(p\) and \(q\), proves the continuous inclusion of \({\mathcal S}\) into \(M^{p,q}\), density and duality results, inclusion relations and other properties for the classes of Schatten-von Neumann operators, etc. In Section 2 the author considers the convolution of distributions in the context of the space \(M^{p,q}\) and he obtains Young-type inequalities. Section 3 deals with inclusions and interpolation properties between modulation spaces and Besov spaces. Finally, the author considers in Section 4 applications of his previous results to continuity properties on modulation spaces, of Toeplitz operators and pseudo-differential operators related to the Weyl calculus studied by L. Hörmander.
