Norm estimates for a broad class of modulation spaces, and continuity of Fourier type operators

Abstract: Let $\mathscr B$ be a normal quasi-Banach function space with respect to $r_0 \in (0,1]$ and $v_0$, $\omega$ be $v$-moderate, and let $r\in [r_0,\infty ]$. Then we prove that $f$ belongs to the modulation space $M(\omega ,\mathscr B )$, iff $V_\phi f$ belongs to the Wiener amalgam space $W ^r(\omega ,\mathscr B )$, and $$ | f | _{M(\omega , \mathscr B)} \asymp | V _\phi f \, \omega | _{\mathscr B} \asymp | V _\phi f| _{W ^r(\omega, \mathscr B)}. $$ We also use the results to deduce continuity for pseudo-differential operators with symbols in weighted $M^{\infty,r_0}$-spaces, with $r_0\le 1$, when acting on $M(\omega ,\mathscr B )$-spaces.
