Highly oscillatory unimodular Fourier multipliers on modulation spaces (1801.06424v1)

Abstract: We study the continuity on the modulation spaces $M^{p,q}$ of Fourier multipliers with symbols of the type $e^{i\mu(\xi)}$, for some real-valued function $\mu(\xi)$. A number of results are known, assuming that the derivatives of order $\geq 2$ of the phase $\mu(\xi)$ are bounded or, more generally, that its second derivatives belong to the Sj\"ostrand class $M^{\infty,1}$. Here we extend those results, by assuming that the second derivatives lie in the bigger Wiener amalgam space $W(\mathcal{F} L^1,L^\infty)$; in particular they could have stronger oscillations at infinity such as $\cos |\xi|^2$. Actually our main result deals with the more general case of possibly unbounded second derivatives. In that case we have boundedness on weighted modulation spaces with a sharp loss of derivatives.
