A Characterization of Metaplectic Time-Frequency Representations

Functional Analysis 2025-05-13 v2

Abstract

We characterize all time-frequency representations that satisfy a general covariance property: any weak*-continuous bilinear mapping that intertwines time-frequency shifts on the configuration space with time-frequency shifts on phase space is a multiple of a metaplectic time-frequency representation.
