Pitt Inequalities and Logarithmic-type Uncertainty Principles for Metaplectic Operators

Gianluca Giacchi, Itamar Oliveira, Amy Tierney

In this work, we provide a complete characterisation of Pitt's inequality for metaplectic operators. The symplectic geometry underlying a metaplectic operator distinguishes effecti…

A Schrödinger characterization of the oscillator semigroup

Gianluca Giacchi

The oscillator (or metaplectic) semigroup is classically defined as the two-fold cover of the semigroup of positive complex symplectic matrices. Although geometrically precise, thi…

The metaplectic semigroup and its applications to time-frequency analysis and evolution operators

Gianluca Giacchi, Luigi Rodino, Davide Tramontana

We develop a systematic analysis of the metaplectic semigroup associated with positive complex symplectic matrices, a notion introduced almost simulta…

Multiresolution local smoothness detection in non-uniformly sampled multivariate signals

Sara Avesani, Gianluca Giacchi, Michael Multerer

Inspired by edge detection based on the decay behavior of wavelet coefficients, we introduce a (near) linear-time algorithm for detecting the local regularity in non-uniformly samp…

Wigner analysis of operators. Part III: Controlling ghost frequencies

Elena Cordero, Gianluca Giacchi, Luigi Rodino

The integration of operator kernels with the Wigner distribution, first conceptualized by E. Wigner in 1932 and later extended by L. Cohen and others, has opened new avenues in tim…
