Signals on a set

Important questions in signal analysis How do we represent data on some arbitrary set? How do we use the structure of the set to our advantage?

Sets will be groups endowed with some natural measure. Signals here will be square integrable functions. (Hilbert space) To represent signals: bases, discrete wavelets, continuous wavelets.

Examples

Sets Group structures measures Rn abelian Lebesgue measure T abelian Lebesgue measure Zn abelian counting measure D2n non abelian counting measure GL (n, R) non commutative Haar measure

Representation Theory

A unitary representation is a strongly continuous homomorphism π from a group into a group of unitary operators on some Hilbert space H π : G ! U (H) A unitary representation π is reducible: existence non trivial closed subspace of H1 H s.t π (G) H1 H1. π is irreducible if all invariant subspaces of H are trivial. b G = unitary dual set of unitary irreducible rep. of G up to equivalence.

Fact

b G is needed for Fourier analysis on G.

De…nition

A group is unimodular if a left-invariant measure m on G is right-invariant

  • also. In other words, for all measurable sets E G

m (Ex) = m (E) for all x 2 G.

Example

Abelian groups, compact groups, semisimple groups are examples of unimodular groups.

Theorem

(Hartmut Fuhr 2002) Given an arbitrary non discrete locally compact group G, translations on G admit a continuous wavelet in L2 (G) if and

  • nly if G is not unimodular.

So how do we construct wavelets on a unimodular group like R?

Problem

Characterize all the dilation subgroups D < Aut (H) such that quasiregular representation T of H D acting in L2 (H) admits a continuous wavelet.

Theorem

(Oussa, 2010) Assume the dilation group D = (0, ∞)r. Furthermore assume D has a "diagonalizable" action on H. Let J (h) be the Jacobian

  • f the dilation action at h 2 D. The quasiregular representation T is

admissible if and only if the followings are satis…ed.

1

det (J (h)) 6= 1 for all h 2 D and

2

center (H D) \ D = Identity.

Conclusion

1

In general admissibility of an arbitrary representation is a non trivial question.

2

Very hard to answer in many settings. There are still a lot of questions to answer.

3

Although they have many applications, continuous wavelets are too redundant.

4

We need to discretize continuous wavelets to better use them.

5

Thank you very much for your attention.
