On the Weyl Representation of Metaplectic Operators

Abstract. We study the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators associated to a symplectic matrix having no non-trivial fixed point, and justify a formula suggested in earlier work of Mehlig and Wilkinson. We give precise calculations of the associated Maslovtype indices; these indices intervene in a crucial way in Gutzwiller’s formula of semiclassical mechanics, and are simply related to a...

On the Mehlig-wilkinson Representation of Metaplectic Operators

We study the Weyl representation of metaplectic operators suggested by earlier work of Mehlig and Wilkinson. We give precise calculations for the associated Maslov indices; these intervene in a crucial way in the Gutzwiller formula of semiclassical mechanics.

On the Number of Local Newforms in a Metaplectic Representation

The nonarchimedean local analogues of modular forms of half-integral weight with level and character are certain vectors in irreducible, admissible, genuine representations of the metaplectic group over a nonarchimedean local field of characteristic zero. Two natural level raising operators act on such vectors, leading to the concepts of oldforms and newforms. We prove that the number of newfor...

Metaplectic Representation on Wiener Amalgam Spaces and Applications to the Schrödinger Equation

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 Schrödinger equations with general quadratic Hamiltonians and Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation with potentials V (x) = ±|x|.
