We perform Wigner analysis of linear operators. Namely, the standard time-frequency representation \emph{Short-time Fourier Transform} (STFT) is replaced by the $\mathcal{A}$-\emph{Wigner distribution} defined by $W_{\mathcal A}…

We study the action of metaplectic operators on Wiener amalgam spaces, giving upper bounds for their norms. As an application, we obtain new fixed-time estimates in these spaces for Schr\"odinger equations with general quadratic…
It is well known that the matrix of a metaplectic operator with respect to phase-space shifts is concentrated along the graph of a linear symplectic map. We show that the algebra generated by metaplectic operators and by pseudodifferential…
Smoothed Wigner transforms have been used in signal processing, as a regularized version of the Wigner transform, and have been proposed as an alternative to it in the homogenization and / or semiclassical limits of wave equations. We…
We develop a systematic analysis of the metaplectic semigroup $\mathrm{Mp}_+(d,\mathbb{C})$ associated with positive complex symplectic matrices, a notion introduced almost simultaneously and independently by H\"ormander, Brunet, Kramer,…
Sparsity properties for phase-space representations of several types of operators have been extensively studied in recent papers, including pseudodifferential, Fourier integral and metaplectic operators, with applications to time-frequency…
Time-frequency representations stemmed in 1932 with the introduction of the Wigner distribution. For most of the 20th century, research in this area primarily focused on defining joint probability distributions for position and momentum in…
This article gives explicit integral formulas for the so-called generalized metaplectic operators, i.e. Fourier integral operators (FIOs) of Schr\"odinger type, having a symplectic matrix as canonical transformation. These integrals are…
Motivated by the phase space analysis of Schr\"odinger evolution operators, in this paper we investigate how metaplectic operators are approximately diagonalized along the corresponding symplectic flows by exponentially localized Gabor wave…
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…
We present a different symplectic point of view in the definition of weighted modulation spaces $M^{p,q}_m(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and weighted Wiener amalgam spaces $W(\mathcal{F} L^p_{m_1},L^q_{m_2})(\mathbb{R}^d)$. All of the classical…
We introduce new frames, called \textit{metaplectic Gabor frames}, as natural generalizations of Gabor frames in the framework of metaplectic Wigner distributions. Namely, we develop the theory of metaplectic atoms in a full-general setting…
This work represents a first systematic attempt to create a common ground for semi-classical and time-frequency analysis. These two different areas combined together provide interesting outcomes in terms of Schr\"odinger type equations.…

In this note we study the properties of a sequence of approximate propagators for the Schr\"odinger equation, in the spirit of Feynman's path integrals. Precisely, we consider Hamiltonian operators arising as the Weyl quantization of a…
