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…
On the microlocal phase-space concentration of Wigner distributions associated with Schrödinger evolutions
Gianluca Giacchi, Davide Tramontana
In this work, we investigate the microlocal properties of the evolutions of Schrödinger equations using metaplectic Wigner distributions. So far, only restricted classes of metapl…
Anisotropic uncertainty principles for metaplectic operators
Elena Cordero, Gianluca Giacchi, Edoardo Pucci
We establish anisotropic uncertainty principles (UPs) for general metaplectic operators acting on , including degenerate cases associated with symplectic matrice…
Wigner and Gabor phase-space analysis of propagators for evolution equations
Elena Cordero, Gianluca Giacchi, Luigi Rodino
We study the Wigner kernel and the Gabor matrix associated with the propagators of a broad class of linear evolution equations, including the complex heat, wave, and Hermite equati…
Metaplectic operators with quasi-diagonal kernels
Gianluca Giacchi, Luigi Rodino
Metaplectic operators form a relevant class of operators appearing in different applications, in the present work we study their Schwartz kernels. Namely, diagonality of a kernel i…
Sparse Gabor representations of metaplectic operators: controlled exponential decay and Schrödinger confinement
Elena Cordero, Gianluca Giacchi, Edoardo Pucci +1
Motivated by the phase space analysis of Schrödinger evolution operators, in this paper we investigate how metaplectic operators are approximately diagonalized along the correspon…
