Frame Sets and Zeros of Zak transforms of Extended Gaussians
Abstract
Let with , we show that the extended Gaussian has maximal frame set (i.e., its frame set consists of precisely all positive pairs with ), and its Zak transform has a unique simple zero in the unit square (in particular, the zero is at the center of the unit square if ). These statements extend the same results of the usual Gaussian (the cases when and ), and add more instances to the observation that if a continuous Wiener function has maximal frame set, then its Zak transform has a unique simple zero in the unit square. The proof of the maximality of the frame set combines metaplectic representation with a classical density result of the standard Gaussian. The proof of the uniqueness of the zero relies on properties of the theta function.
