\(L^{p}\) boundedness and compactness of localization operators (Q2497392)

The \textit{localization operator} is a pseudodifferential operator of the form \[ D(f)(t) = \int_{{\mathbb R}^{2d}} F(x,\omega) \langle f, \phi_{x,\omega} \rangle \psi_{x, \omega}\; dx\, d\omega, \] where \(t \in {\mathbb R}^d\) and \(\phi_{x, \omega}(t) = e^{it\omega} \phi(t-x)\). Here, \(D = D_{F, \phi, \psi}\) depends on parameters which are functions, namely, \(F\), \(\phi\), and \(\psi\). The paper under review provides conditions on the functions \(F\), \(\phi\), and \(\psi\) which guarantee that the associated operator \(D\) is bounded (resp., compact) on \(L^q({\mathbb R}^d)\). The main result states that if \(\phi, \psi \in L^1({\mathbb R}^d) \cap L^\infty(\mathbb R)\) and \(F \in L^p({\mathbb R}^d)\), \(p \in [1,\infty]\), then \(D\) is bounded on \(L^q({\mathbb R}^d)\) for \(q \in [2p/(p+1), 2p/(p-1)]\). An analogous result for \(F\) in the Sobolev space \(H^{s, p}\) is also given.
