Morlet wavelets in quantum mechanics
Wavelets offer significant advantages for the analysis of problems in quantum
mechanics. Because wavelets are localized in both time and frequency they avoid
certain subtle but potentially fatal conceptual errors that can result from the
use of plane wave or delta function decomposition. Morlet wavelets are
particularly well-suited for this work: as Gaussians, they have a simple
analytic form and they work well with Feynman path integrals. To take full
advantage of Morlet wavelets we need an explicit form for the inverse Morlet
transform and a manifestly covariant form for the four-dimensional Morlet
wavelet. We supply both here.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
A New Paranomia from British Columbia
Length 10.5 mm. Black; abdominal segments 1-4 at apex with bands of a golden-yellowish be pubescence; the head in front, the cheeks, the occiput, the thorax in front at the sides, the postscutellum, the legs, and the abdomen beneath, alI clothed with a pale or whitish pubescence. Wings hyaline, fuliginous at apex, the costae and parastigma black, the stigmal and internal veins testaceous. Legs mostly black, with tarsal joints 2-5 mostly yellowish. The head is rather finely, sparsely punctate, the thorax more closely and densely punctate, but with the punctures finer on the scutellum, while the metathorax is shagreened, opaque. The abdomen has the first segment minutely punctulate, the following segments being more or less alutaceous
