TL;DR

This paper extends the Coburn conjecture on Gabor-Daubechies operators to polyanalytic Fock spaces using Berezin quantization, proving that such operators coincide with Toeplitz operators under a polynomial differential operator. The work generalizes localization theory to higher-order analytic structures and connects it to Gel'fand-Shilov spaces via vector-valued Gabor analysis.

ABSTRACT

The well know conjecture of {\it Coburn} [{\it L.A. Coburn, {On the Berezin-Toeplitz calculus}, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 129 (2001) 3331-3338.}] proved by {\it Lo} [{\it M-L. Lo, {The Bargmann Transform and Windowed Fourier Transform}, Integr. equ. oper. theory, 27 (2007), 397-412.}] and {\it Englis} [{\it M. Engli$\check{s}$, Toeplitz Operators and Localization Operators, Trans. Am. Math Society 361 (2009) 1039-1052.}] states that any {\it Gabor-Daubechies} operator with window $ψ$ and symbol ${\bf a}(x,ω)$ quantized on the phase space by a {\it Berezin-Toeplitz} operator with window $Ψ$ and symbol $σ(z,\bar{z})$ coincides with a {\it Toeplitz} operator with symbol $Dσ(z,\bar{z})$ for some polynomial differential operator $D$. Using the Berezin quantization approach, we will extend the proof for polyanalytic Fock spaces. While the generation is almost mimetic for two-windowed localization operators, the Gabor analysis framework for vector-valued windows will provide a meaningful generalization of this conjecture for {\it true polyanalytic} Fock spaces and moreover for polyanalytic Fock spaces. Further extensions of this conjecture to certain classes of Gel'fand-Shilov spaces will also be considered {\it a-posteriori}.

Motivation & Objective

• To generalize the Coburn conjecture on Gabor-Daubechies operators to polyanalytic Fock spaces.
• To establish a correspondence between localization operators and Toeplitz operators on polyanalytic Fock spaces via polynomial differential operators.
• To extend the framework to vector-valued windows and Gel'fand-Shilov spaces for broader applicability.
• To unify function-theoretic and group-theoretic structures in the context of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.

Proposed method

• Utilizes Berezin quantization to define localization operators on polyanalytic Fock spaces via coherent states and Weyl operators.
• Applies the Berezin-Toeplitz operator formalism with windows Ψ, Θ ∈ L²(ℂ, dμ) and symbol σ(z, z̄).
• Employs the Weyl representation W_z to model time-frequency shifts and coherent states as group orbits.
• Derives operator identities involving ∂z, ∂z̄, πz, and the Laplacian Δz to establish commutator relations.
• Uses induction and integration by parts on weighted L² spaces to prove decay and regularity of symbols in Gel'fand-Shilov classes.
• Applies convolution identities and differential operators D_j,k to relate symbol derivatives to operator actions.

Key findings

• The localization operator L_σ^Ψ,Θ on polyanalytic Fock spaces is equivalent to a Toeplitz operator with symbol Dσ for some polynomial differential operator D.
• The proof relies on commutator identities such as [πz, -1/4π Δz] = ∂z̄ and [πz̄, -1/4π Δz] = ∂z on L²(ℂ, dμ).
• The symbol σ(z, z̄) belongs to the weighted space W_{a−π,α}^{∞,n} when σ ∈ W_{a,α}^{∞,n} and the windows are in G_n^{{1/2}}.
• The convolution formula (−∂z̄)^l (−∂z)^m σ ∗ (P^kΨ P^jΘ e^{-π|·|²}) = σ ∗ D_{j,k}(P^kΨ P^jΘ e^{-π|·|²}) holds for all l, m ∈ ℕ₀.
• The kernel function satisfies (∂z − πz̄)^r (∂z̄)^l K^j(z, ζ) = √((j−r)!/(j−l)!) K^{j−m+l}(z, ζ), enabling recursive symbol differentiation.
• The resulting symbol derivatives are shown to be in W_{a−π,α}^{∞,n} using estimates involving (1 + π|z|)^m and integrability of Gaussian-weighted terms.
