Density of Gabor systems via the short time Fourier transform (Q1645273)

The density of Gabor systems is an important and exciting topic in frame theory [\textit{C. Heil}, J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 13, No. 2, 113--166 (2007; Zbl 1133.42043)]. In the paper under review, a new approach to the study of questions related to the density problem is proposed. In particular, a new proof of the Ramanathan-Steger's density theorem [\textit{J. Ramanathan} and \textit{T. Steger}, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 2, No. 2, 148--153 (1995; Zbl 0855.42024)] and its extension, together with several related results is given. The paper begins with a nicely and clearly written introduction which also contains the formulation of the main results. Moreover, the results are put in the context of related investigations and techniques. In particular, it is explained how the approach of \textit{S. Nitzan} and \textit{A. Olevskii} [C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 350, No. 9--10, 509--512 (2012; Zbl 1248.41010)] can be used to extend the main density result of [Zbl 0855.42024]. The paper is well organized and the exposition contains necessary explanations related to the particular proofs and results.
