Metaplectic Operator

We show that the cross Wigner function can be written in the form [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the Fourier transform of ϕ and Ŝ is a metaplectic operator that projects onto a linear symplectomorphism S consisting of a rotation along an ellipse in phase space (or in the time-frequency space). This formulation can be extended to generic Weyl symbols and yields an interesting fractional generalization of the Weyl–Wigner formalism. It also provides a suitable approach to study the Bopp phase space representation of quantum mechanics, familiar from deformation quantization. Using the "metaplectic formulation" of the Wigner transform, we construct a complete set of intertwiners relating the Weyl and the Bopp pseudo-differential operators. This is an important result that allows us to prove the spectral and dynamical equivalence of the Schrödinger and the Bopp representations of quantum mechanics.

We develop Fourier analysis over hyperbolic algebra (the two-dimensional commutative algebra with the basis e1 = 1, e2 = j, where j2 = 1). We demonstrated that classical mechanics has, besides the well-known quantum deformation over complex numbers, another deformation — so-called hyperbolic quantum mechanics. The classical Poisson bracket can be obtained as the limit h → 0 not only of the ordinary Moyal bracket, but also a hyperbolic analogue of the Moyal bracket.

Explicit Bounds

We find some explicit bounds on the $\mathcal{L}(L^2)$-norm of pseudo-differential operators with symbols defined by a metric on the phase space. In particular, we prove that this norm depends only on the "structure constants" of the metric and a fixed semi-norm of the symbol. Analogous statements are made for the Fefferman-Phong inequality.

Given a compact Lie group$G$, in this paper we establish$L^{p}$-bounds for pseudo-differential operators in$L^{p}(G)$. The criteria here are given in terms of the concept of matrix symbols defined on the noncommutative analogue of the phase space$G\times \widehat{G}$, where$\widehat{G}$is the unitary dual of$G$. We obtain two different types of$L^{p}$bounds: first for finite regularity symbols and second for smooth symbols. The conditions for smooth symbols are formulated using$\mathscr{S}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}}^{m}(G)$classes which are a suitable extension of the well-known$(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C},\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF})$ones on the Euclidean space. The results herein extend classical$L^{p}$bounds established by C. Fefferman on$\mathbb{R}^{n}$. While Fefferman’s results have immediate consequences on general manifolds for$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}>\max \{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF},1-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}\}$, our results do not require the condition$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}>1-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$. Moreover, one of our results also does not require$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}>\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$. Examples are given for the case of$\text{SU}(2)\cong \mathbb{S}^{3}$and vector fields/sub-Laplacian operators when operators in the classes$\mathscr{S}_{0,0}^{m}$and$\mathscr{S}_{\frac{1}{2},0}^{m}$naturally appear, and where conditions$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}>\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$and$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}>1-\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}$fail, respectively.

Abstract We prove sharp inequalities for the symmetric-decreasing rearrangement in Fourier space of functions in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our main result can be applied to a general class of (pseudo-)differential operators in $\mathbb{R}^d$ of arbitrary order with radial Fourier multipliers. For example, we can take any positive power of the Laplacian $(-\Delta )^s$ with $s> 0$ and, in particular, any polyharmonic operator $(-\Delta )^m$ with integer $m \geqslant 1$. As applications, we prove radial symmetry and real-valuedness (up to trivial symmetries) of optimizers for (1) Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities with derivatives of arbitrary order, (2) ground states for bi- and polyharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS), and (3) Adams–Moser–Trudinger type inequalities for $H^{d/2}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ in any dimension $d \geqslant 1$. As a technical key result, we solve a phase retrieval problem for the Fourier transform in $\mathbb{R}^d$. To achieve this, we classify the case of equality in the corresponding Hardy–Littlewood majorant problem for the Fourier transform in $\mathbb{R}^d$.
