Universality conjecture for Gaussian time-frequency localization eigenvalues
Universality conjecture for Gaussian time-frequency localization eigenvalues
Let be compact, regular closed, and have finite boundary. Let be the standard Gaussian window, let denote the localization operator with symbol , and let be its -th eigenvalue. Write for the area of and for the length of its boundary. The complementary error function is
Universality conjecture. For every such ,
as . Equivalently, the -th eigenvalue converges to
For rotationally invariant symbols this behavior is obtained explicitly, while numerical tests support its universality for a diverse collection of sets. The conjecture remains open for general symbols with the standard Gaussian window.
