Wick calculus and the Cauchy problem for some dispersive equations (Q1598265)

The authors consider anti-Wick pseudodifferential operators, of the form \[ a(x,D)u(x)=W^* \bigl(a(y,\xi) Wu\bigr)(x) \] where \(W\) is the windowed Fourier transform \[ Wu(y,\xi)= \int e^{-x\xi} g(x-y)u(x) dx \] and \(W^*\) its adjoint, depending on a fixed \(g\in S(\mathbb{R}^n)\). Taking \(g(x)\) equal to the Gaussian function and \(a(y,\xi)= a_\lambda (y,\xi)\) depending on a positive parameter \(\lambda\) in suitable symbol classes, the authors develop a precise symbolic calculus. In particular the symbol \(c(x,\xi)\) of the anti-Wick operator \(c(x,D)=a (x,D)b(x,D)\) is expressed in terms of \(a(x,\xi)\) and \(b(x, \xi)\). An application is presented concerning the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for generalized Schrödinger type equations.
