On the pseudodilation representations of Flornes, Grossmann, Holschneider, and Torrésani (Q1370721)

In [J. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 1, No. 2, 137-146 (1994; Zbl 0798.42021)], \textit{K. Flornes, A. Grossmann, M. Holschneider} and \textit{B. Torrésani} considered continuous wavelet transforms for sequences of length \(p\) over finite fields \({\mathbb Z}_p\), \(p\) prime. The usual dilation operator does not allow to be interpreted as sampling of dilated functions in \(L^2({\mathbb R})\). Therefore pseudodilations are introduced, which give a smoother wavelet transform. In this paper these pseudodilations are further investigated for general finite fields \(F\). It is shown that the class of compatible filters is completely parametrized by the torus \(T^{p^k-1}\). Also the wavelet transforms for complex valued functions in \(\ell^2(F)\) associated with these pseudodilations are discussed. It is shown that the energy conservation law holds, so that unitary wavelet transforms are possible. Some examples are given.
