Abstract
En 中文
Time-frequency localization operators, originally introduced by Daubechies (1988), provide a framework for localizing signals in the phase space and have become a central tool in time-frequency analysis. In this paper we introduce and study a broad generalization of these operators, called A-localization operators, associated with a metaplectic Wigner distribution WA and the corresponding A-pseudodifferential calculus. We first show that the classical relation between localization operators and Weyl quantization extends to any covariant metaplectic Wigner distribution. Specifically, if WA satisfies the covariance property WA(pi(z)f,pi(z)g)=TzWA(f,g),z is an element of R2d, then Aa phi 1,phi 2=OpA(a & lowast;WA(phi 2,phi 1)), and conversely, this identity characterizes covariance. This result extends the recent representation formula of Bastianoni and Teofanov for tau-operators to the full metaplectic framework. We then define the A-localization operator Aa,A phi 1,phi 2 and investigate its analytical properties. We establish boundedness results on modulation spaces and provide sufficient conditions for Schatten-von Neumann class membership. These findings connect the structure of metaplectic representations with time-frequency localization theory, offering a unified approach to quantization and signal analysis.
