Spherical continuous wavelet transforms arising from sections of the Lorentz group

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the conformal group of the unit sphere Sn−1, the so-called proper Lorentz group Spin+(1,n), for the study of spherical continuous wavelet transforms (CWT). Our approach is based on the method for construction of general coherent states associated to square integrable group representations over homogeneous spaces. The underlying homogeneous space is an extension to the whole of the group Spin+(1,n) of the factorization of the gyrogroup of the unit ball by an appropriate gyro-subgroup. Sections on this homogeneous space are constituted by rotations of the subgroup Spin(n) and M"{o}bius transformations of the type phia(x)=(x−a)(1+ax)−1, where a belongs to a given section on a homogeneous space of the unit ball. This extends in a natural way the work of Antoine and Vandergheynst to anisotropic conformal dilations.


Wavelets on the unit sphere are efficient for analysis of spherical data. This paper constructs a continuous wavelet transform on the unit sphere by rotations of subgroup \(\text{Spin}(n)\) and Möbius transformations of the type \(\varphi_a(x)=(x-a)(1+ax)^{-1}\). The main theorem shows that wavelets for the fundamental section are also wavelets for any continuous global section in some homogeneous space. It turns out the author extends the work of Antoine and Vandergheynst.
