Pseudo-Differential Operators, Wigner Transform, and Weyl Transform on the Affine Poincaré Group

Abstract: In this paper, we study harmonic analysis on the affine Poincar\'e group $\mathcal{P}{aff}$, which is a non-unimodular group, and obtain pseudo-differential operators with operator valued symbols. More precisely, we study the boundedness properties of pseudo-differential operators on $\mathcal{P}{aff}$. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition on the operator-valued symbols such that the corresponding pseudo-differential operators are in the class of Hilbert--Schmidt operators. Consequently, we obtain a characterization of the trace class pseudo-differential operators on the Poincar\'e affine group $\mathcal{P}{aff}$, and provide a trace formula for these trace class operators. Finally, we study the Wigner transform, and Weyl transform associated with the operator valued symbol on the Poincar\'e affine group $\mathcal{P}{aff}$.
