Abstract:
For $x,y in mathbb {R}$ and $f in L^2(mathbb {R})$, define $(x,y) f(t) = e^{2pi iyt} f(t+x)$ and if $Lambda subseteq mathbb {R}^2$, define $S(f, Lambda) = {(x,y)f mid (x,y) in Lambda }$. It has been conjectured that if $fne 0$, then $S(f,Lambda)$ is linearly independent over $mathbb {C}$; one motivation for this problem comes from Gabor analysis. We shall prove that $S(f, Lambda)$ is linearly independent if $f ne 0$ and $Lambda$ is contained in a discrete subgroup of $mathbb {R}^2$, and as a byproduct we shall obtain some results on the group von Neumann algebra generated by the operators ${(x,y) mid (x,y) in Lambda }$. Also, we shall prove these results for the obvious generalization to $mathbb {R}^n$.

Keywords:Group von Neumann algebra   Gabor analysis   Heisenberg group
