Wavelets with Composite Dilations

A wavelet with composite dilations is a function generating an orthonormal basis or a Parseval frame for L2(Rn) under the action of lattice translations and dilations by products of elements drawn from non-commuting matrix sets A and B. Typically, the members of B are shear matrices (all eigenvalues are one) while the members of A are matrices expanding or contracting on a proper subspace of Rn...

Dilations and constrained algebras

It is well known that contractive representations of the disk algebra are completely contractive. Let A denote the subalgebra of the disk algebra consisting of those functions f for which f ′(0) = 0. We prove that there are contractive representations of A which are not completely contractive, and furthermore characterize those contractive representations which are completely contractive.

Orthonormal Dilations of Parseval Wavelets

We prove that any Parseval wavelet frame is the projection of an orthonormal wavelet basis for a representation of the Baumslag-Solitar group BS(1, 2) = 〈u, t | utu = t〉. We give a precise description of this representation in some special cases, and show that for wavelet sets, it is related to symbolic dynamics (Theorem 3.14). We show that the structure of the representation depends on the ana...
