On some Hermite series identities and their applications to Gabor analysis

Abstract

We prove some infinite series identities for the Hermite functions. From these identities we disprove the Gabor frame set conjecture for Hermite functions of order \(4m+2\) and \(4m+3\) for \(m\in \{0\} \cup \mathbb {N}\). The results hold not only for Hermite functions, but for two large classes of eigenfunctions of the Fourier transform associated with the eigenvalues \(-1\) and i, and the results indicate that the Gabor frame set of all such functions must have a rather complicated structure.
