Abstract: We discuss spaces of Sobolev type which are defined by the operator with singularity: ${\cal D} = d/dx - (c/x)R$, where $Ru(x) = u(-x)$ and $c > 1$. This operator appears in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator governed by Wigner's commutation relations. We study smoothness of $u$ and continuity of $u / x^{\beta }$ ($\beta > 0$) where $u$ is in each space of Sobolev type, and obtain a generalization of the Sobolev embedding theorem. On the basis of a generalization of the Fourier transform, the proof is carried out. We apply the result to the Cauchy problems for partial differential equations with singular coefficients.
