Abstract

We establish a family of uncertainty principles for finite linear combinations of Hermite functions. More precisely, we give a geometric criterion on a subset $S\subset \RR^d$ ensuring that the -seminorm associated to is equivalent to the full -norm on $\RR^d$ when restricted to the space of Hermite functions up to a given degree. We give precise estimates how the equivalence constant depends on this degree and on geometric parameters of . From these estimates we deduce that the parabolic equation whose generator is the harmonic oscillator is null-controllable from . In all our results, the set may have sub-exponentially decaying density and, in particular, finite volume. We also show that bounded sets are not efficient in this context.
