Dimensional upper bounds for admissible subgroups for the metaplectic representation
Abstract:
We prove dimensional upper bounds for admissible Lie subgroups H of G = {\Bbb H}_d\rtimes Sp(d,R), d\geq 2. The notion of admissibility captures natural geometric phenomena of the phase space and it is a sufficient condition for a subgroup to be reproducing. It is expressed in terms of absolutely convergent integrals of Wigner distributions, translated by the affine action of the subgroup. We show that dim H\leq d^2+ 2d, whereas if H=Sp(d, R), then dim H\leq d^2+1. Both bounds are shown to be optimal
