Abstract: In this paper we offer a computational approach to the spectral function for a finite family of commuting operators, and give applications. Motivated by questions in wavelets and in signal processing, we study a problem about spectral concentration of integral translations of functions in the Hilbert space $L^2(mathbb{R}^n)$. Our approach applies more generally to families of $n$ arbitrary commuting unitary operators in a complex Hilbert space $mathcalH$, or equivalent the spectral theory of a unitary representation $U$ of the rank-$n$ lattice $mathbb{Z}^n$ in $mathbb{R}^n$. Starting with a non-zero vector $psiinmathcalH$, we look for relations among the vectors in the cyclic subspace in $mathcalH$ generated by $psi$. Since these vectors $U(k)psi|kinmathbb{Z}^n$ involve infinite ``linear combinations," the problem arises of giving geometric characterizations of these non-trivial linear relations. A special case of the problem arose initially in work of Kolmogorov under the name $L^2$-independence. This refers to extit{infinite} linear combinations of integral translates of a fixed function with $l^2$-coefficients. While we were motivated by the study of translation operators arising in wavelet and frame theory, we stress that our present results are general; our theorems are about spectral densities for general unitary operators, and for stochastic integrals.
