Abstract

Let K and L be two full-rank lattices in R(d). We give a complete characterization for all the Gabor frames that admit tight dual of the same type. The characterization is given in terms of the center-valued trace of the von Neumann algebra generated by the left regular projective unitary representations associated with the time-frequency lattice K x L. Two applications of this characterization were obtained: (i) We are able to prove that every Gabor frame has a tight dual if and only if the volume of K x L is less than or equal to 1/2. (ii) We are able to obtain sufficient or necessary conditions for the existence of tight Gabor pseudo-duals for subspace Gabor frames in various cases. In particular, we prove that every subspace Gabor frame has a tight Gabor pseudo-dual if either the volume v(K x L) < = 1/2 or v(K x L) > = 2. Moreover, if K = alpha Z(d), L = beta Z(d) with alpha beta = 1, then a subspace Gabor frame G(g, L, K) has a tight Gabor pseudo-dual only when G(g, L, K) itself is already tight.
