Faulhuber's rotational invariance conjecture for Weyl–Heisenberg frames

Let obreakϕL2(R) obreak\boldsymbol{\textstyle\frac{}{}} \phi\in L^2(\mathbb{R}). Write WϕW\phi for its Wigner transform, let Λ\Lambda be a lattice in phase space, let G(ϕ,RΛ)\mathcal{G}(\phi,R\Lambda) denote the associated Weyl–Heisenberg frame system, and let RSO(2,R)R\in SO(2,\mathbb{R}) act on the lattice. A function is a Hermite function if it is one of the Hermite functions in L2(R)L^2(\mathbb{R}).

Rotational invariance conjecture. The following are equivalent:

  1. ϕ\phi is a Hermite function.
  2. WϕW\phi is rotation-invariant.
  3. The frames G(ϕ,RΛ)\mathcal{G}(\phi,R\Lambda) possess the same frame bounds for all RSO(2,R)R\in SO(2,\mathbb{R}).

This conjecture characterizes Hermite functions through rotational invariance of their Wigner transforms and through invariance of Weyl–Heisenberg frame bounds. The one-dimensional rotational invariance of Hermite functions motivates it, but the source gives no resolution of the equivalence.
