Marcinkiewicz averages of smooth orthogonal projections on sphere (Q2079846)

In this paper, the existence of a single smooth projection with desired localization properties and whose average under a group action yields the decomposition of the identity operator has been investigated. The results of the paper have been obtained in two settings. In the setting of \(\mathbb{R}^{d}\), a smooth orthogonal decomposition of identity on \(L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\), generated by translates of a single projection, which is localized in a neighborhood of an arbitrary precompact fundamental domain has been constructed. In the setting of sphere \(\mathbb{S}^{d-1}\) the existence of a single smooth orthogonal projection which has arbitrary small support and whose Marcinkiewicz average under the action of \(SO(d)\) is a multiple of the identity on \(L^{2}(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})\) has been discussed. Finally, as an application, the highly localized continuous Parseval frames on the sphere have been constructed.
