Heat kernel generated frames in the setting of Dirichlet spaces (Q1759435)

Let \(M\) be a locally compact space with a metric \(\rho\) and a measure \(\mu\). For a ball \(B(x,r)=\{y\in M \,|\, \rho(x,y)<r\}\) the volume doubling condition with some constant \(d>0\) means \(0<\mu(B(x,2r))\leq 2^d \mu(B(x,r))<\infty\). For a positive symmetric operator \(L\) on \(L^2(M,\mu)\) with a dense domain, the Dirichlet space is defined from the modified norm \(\|f\|_L^2=\langle f,f \rangle+\langle f,Lf \rangle\). The setting of the paper under review are Dirichlet spaces with volume doubling condition and a local scale-invariant Poincaré inequality. In this setup, the authors construct pairs of dual frames \(\{\psi_{j\xi}\}\) and \(\{\tilde{\psi}_{j\xi}\}\), such that there are decompositions \(f=\sum_j\sum_\xi \langle f, \tilde{\psi}_{j\xi}\rangle \psi_{j\xi}\) for various spaces, e.g. Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin types. The frames are band-limited and well-localized in \(M\). Applications of this construction cover Lie groups or homogeneous spaces with polynomial volume growth, complete Riemannian manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below and satisfying the volume doubling property, and other settings. As their tools, the authors develop functional calculus of positive self-adjoint operators with associated heat kernel, lower bounds on kernel operators, Shannon sampling theory and Littlewood-Paley analysis.
