A Szegö-type theorem for Gabor-Toeplitz localization operators (Q5954585)

The Gabor transform of functions \(f \in L^2 (\mathbb{R}^n)\) with respect to a fixed window \(\phi \in L^2 (\mathbb{R}^n)\), \(||\phi||_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)}=1\), is considered. This transform is defined by \[ F(q,p)=\langle f, \phi_{q,p}\rangle, \qquad \phi_{q,p} (x)=e^{2\pi ipx} \phi(x-q). \] The Gabor-Toeplitz localization operator is defined by \[ T_bf=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{2n}} b(q,p) F(q,p) \phi_{q,p}(x) dq dp \] where \(b\), the symbol of \(T_b\), is a nonnegative, bounded, integrable function. For \(R>0\), let \(b_R (\eta)=b(\eta/R), \eta \in\mathbb{R}^{2n}\), and \(T_{b_R}\) the corresponding Gabor-Toeplitz localization operator. The behavior of the eigenvalues of \(T_{b_R}\) as \(R \to \infty\) is studied.
