On the Weyl transform for rotationally invariant symbols

Several formulas for the eigenvalues $$\lambda _j$$ λ j of the Weyl transforms $$W_\sigma $$ W σ of symbols $$\sigma $$ σ given by radially symmetric distributions are derived. These yield criteria for the boundedness and the compactness, respectively, of the pseudo-differential operators $$W_\sigma .$$ W σ . We investigate some examples by analyzing the asymptotic behavior of $$\lambda _j$$ λ j for $$j\rightarrow \infty $$ j → ∞ .
