Holomorphic Sobolev spaces, Hermite and special Hermite semigroups and a Paley-Wiener theorem for the windowed Fourier transform (Q1018313)

A classical result of Bargmann and Fock states that the image of \(L^2({\mathbb R}^n)\) under the Gauss-Weierstrass semigroup can be described as a weighted Bergman space of entire functions. Similar results have been proved in the literature for Hermite and special Hermite semigroups as well. In this paper the authors characterize the images of Hermite-Sobolev spaces under Hermite semigroups and Laguerre-Sobolev spaces under special Hermite semigroups. These results are used to characterize the images of the Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing functions on \({\mathbb R}^n\) and \({\mathbb C}^n\) respectively under these semigroups. The image of the space of tempered distributions is also considered and a Paley-Wiener theorem for the windowed (short-time) Fourier transform is proved.
