Balian-Low (Theorem)
Theorem 1 (Balian-Low)   Suppose $g \in L^2(\R)$ and $g_{m,n}(x) = e^{2\pi i m x} g(x - n)$ , where $m,n \in \Z$ . If $\{g_{m,n}: m, n \in \Z\}$ is an orthonormal basis for $L^2(\R)$ , then either $$\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2 |g(x)|^2\; dx = \infty \text{ or } \int_{-\infty}^\infty \xi^2|\hat{g}(\xi)|^2\; d\xi = \infty. $$
