Time-frequency analysis on the adeles over the rationals

Abstract: We show that the construction of Gabor frames in $L^{2}(\mathbb{R})$ with generators in $\mathbf{S}{0}(\mathbb{R})$ and with respect to time-frequency shifts from a rectangular lattice $\alpha\mathbb{Z}\times\beta\mathbb{Z}$ is equivalent to the construction of certain Gabor frames for $L^{2}$ over the adeles over the rationals and the group $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{Q}{p}$. Furthermore, we detail the connection between the construction of Gabor frames on the adeles and on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ with the construction of certain Heisenberg modules.
