Existence of Unconditional Frames Formed By System of Translates in Modulation Spaces (2502.01047v2)

Abstract: Let $1\leq p\leq 2$ and let $\Lambda = {\lambda_n}{n\in \mathbb{N}} \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ be an arbitrary subset. We prove that for any $g\in M^p(\mathbb{R})$ with $1\leq p\leq 2$ the system of translates ${g(x-\lambda_n)}{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is never an unconditional basis for $M^q(\mathbb{R})$ for $p\leq q\leq p'$, where $p'$ is the conjugate exponent of $p.$ In particular, $M^1(\mathbb{R})$ does not admit any Schauder basis formed by a system of translates. We also prove that for any $g\in M^p(\mathbb{R})$ with $1< p\leq 2$ the system of translates ${g(x-\lambda_n)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is never an unconditional frame for $M^p(\mathbb{R}).$ Several results regarding the existence of unconditional frames formed by a system of translates in $M^1(\mathbb{R})$ as well as in $M^p(\mathbb{R})$ with $2<p<\infty$ will be presented as well.
