Changes of variables in modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces

Abstract

In this paper various properties of global and local changes of variables as well as properties of canonical transforms are investigated on modulation and Wiener amalgam spaces. We establish several relations among localisations of such spaces and, as a consequence, we obtain several versions of local and global Beurling–Helson type theorems. We also establish a number of positive results such as local boundedness of canonical transforms on modulation spaces, properties of homogeneous changes of variables, and local continuity of Fourier integral operators on equation image. Finally, counterparts of these results are discussed for spaces on the torus.
