Mixed needlets

Abstract: The construction of needlet-type wavelets on sections of the spin line bundles over the sphere has been recently addressed in Geller and Marinucci (2008), and Geller et al. (2008,2009). Here we focus on an alternative proposal for needlets on this spin line bundle, in which needlet coefficients arise from the usual, rather than the spin, spherical harmonics, as in the previous constructions. We label this system mixed needlets and investigate in full their properties, including localization, the exact tight frame characterization, reconstruction formula, decomposition of functional spaces, and asymptotic uncorrelation in the stochastic case. We outline astrophysical applications.


This paper introduces mixed needlets which provide an alternative construction for needlet-type wavelets on the spin fiber bundle, in which needlet coefficients arise from the usual, rather than the spin, spherical harmonics, as in the previous constructions of needlets. This paper also investigates the properties of mixed needlets including localization, the exact tight frame characterization, reconstruction formula, decomposition of function spaces, and asymptotic uncorrelation in the stochastic case. Some astrophysical applications are also outlined.
