Simplified vanishing moment criteria for wavelets over general dilation groups, with applications to abelian and shearlet dilation groups (Q2402487)

This paper continues previous work by the first author [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 367, No. 10, 7373--7401 (2015; Zbl 1335.42039); Adv. Comput. Math. 42, No. 1, 127--153 (2016; Zbl 1353.42028)] which provided explicit criteria for wavelets associated to general dilation groups to fit in the general coorbit scheme as appropriate analyzing vectors and/or atoms. The first section of the paper contains clearly explained motivation (with the aims of the paper listed in Subsection 1.4), and an introduction to important issues of continuous wavelet transform and coorbit theory relevant to the subject of the paper. In particular, the role of the set of ``nice wavelets'' \( \mathcal{A}_{v_0} \), and (its subset) \( \mathcal{B}_{v_0} \) which allows the discretization of continuous transforms in an appropriate sense, is highlighted. In Section 2, the notion of temperate embeddedness is introduced and studied in details in order to explicitly determine sufficient vanishing moments criteria for wavelets belonging to \( \mathcal{A}_{v_0} \) and \( \mathcal{B}_{v_0} \). This criteria considerably simplifies previously considered assumptions. For example, the result covers all irreducibly admissible matrix groups in dimension two, and it is illustrated by several most important examples (similitude group, \(d\)-dimensional diagonal group, and the shearlet-type groups). In Section 3, the theory is applied to large classes of dilation groups, proving the existence of compactly supported analyzing vectors and atoms for these groups. The last section is devoted to the study of generalized shearlet dilation (sub)groups and their relation to abelian dilation groups. An illustrative example of the results from this section is the admissibility condition for the associated wavelet transform which turns out to be the same for all shearlet dilation groups in a fixed dimension. In the concluding remarks it is emphasized that the central role of the considerations is played by the dual action. The same tool is used in [\textit{H. Führ} and \textit{F. Voigtlaender}, J. Funct. Anal. 269, No. 1, 80--154 (2015; Zbl 1435.42016)] where the theory of coorbit spaces is embedded into the context of decomposition spaces.
