On the inverse to the harmonic oscillator

Abstract

Let $b_d$ be the Weyl symbol of the inverse to the harmonic oscillator on ${\mathbb{R}}^d$. We prove that $b_d$ and its derivatives satisfy convenient bounds of Gevrey and Gelfand-Shilov type, and obtain explicit expressions for $b_d$. In the even-dimensional case we characterize $b_d$ in terms of elementary functions. In the analysis we use properties of radial symmetry and a combination of different techniques involving classical a priori estimates, commutator identities, power series and asymptotic expansions.
