Diffusive wavelets on groups and homogeneous spaces
The aim of this exposition is to explain basic ideas behind the concept of
diffusive wavelets on spheres in the language of representation theory of Lie
groups and within the framework of the group Fourier transform given by
Peter-Weyl decomposition of for a compact Lie group .
After developing a general concept for compact groups and their homogeneous
spaces we give concrete examples for tori -which reflect the situation on
- and for spheres and .Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure
Wavelets on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces
Within the past decades, wavelets and associated wavelet transforms have been intensively investigated in both applied and pure mathematics. They and the related multi-scale analysis provide essential tools to describe, analyse and modify signals, images or, in rather abstract concepts, functions, function spaces and associated operators. We introduce the concept of diffusive wavelets where the dilation operator is provided by an evolution like process that comes from an approximate identity. The translation operator is naturally defined by a regular representation of the Lie group where we want to construct wavelets. For compact Lie groups the theory can be formulated in a very elegant way and also for homogeneous spaces of those groups we formulate the theory in the theory of non-commutative harmonic analysis. Explicit realisation are given for the Rotation group SO(3), the k-Torus, the Spin group and the n-sphere as homogeneous space. As non compact example we discuss diffusive wavelets on the Heisenberg group, where the construction succeeds thanks to existence of the Plancherel measure for this group. The last chapter is devoted to the Radon transform on SO(3), where the application on diffusive wavelets can be used for its inversion. The discussion of a variational spline approach provides criteria for the choice of points for measurements in concrete applications

NONZONAL WAVELETS ON S^N
In the present article we will construct wavelets on an arbitrary dimensional sphere S^n due the approach of approximate Identities. There are two equivalently approaches to wavelets. The group theoretical approach formulates a square integrability condition for a group acting via unitary, irreducible representation on the sphere. The connection to the group theoretical approach will be sketched. The concept of approximate identities uses the same constructions in the background, here we select an appropriate section of dilations and translations in the group acting on the sphere in two steps. At First we will formulate dilations in terms of approximate identities and than we call in translations on the sphere as rotations. This leads to the construction of an orthogonal polynomial system in L²(SO(n+1)). That approach is convenient to construct concrete wavelets, since the appropriate kernels can be constructed form the heat kernel leading to the approximate Identity of Gauss-Weierstra\ss. We will work out conditions to functions forming a family of wavelets, subsequently we formulate how we can construct zonal wavelets from a approximate Identity and the relation to admissibility of nonzonal wavelets. Eventually we will give an example of a nonzonal Wavelet on , which we obtain from the approximate identity of Gauss-Weierstraß
