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