Wavelet representations and Fock space on positive matrices

Abstract

We show that every biorthogonal wavelet determines a representation by operators on Hilbert space satisfying simple identities, which captures the established relationship between orthogonal wavelets and Cuntz-algebra representations in that special case. Each of these representations is shown to have tractable finite-dimensional co-invariant doubly-cyclic subspaces. Further, motivated by these representations, we introduce a general Fock-space Hilbert space construction which yields creation operators containing the Cuntz--Toeplitz isometries as a special case.Comment: 32 pages, LaTeX ("amsart" document class), one EPS graphic file used for shading, accepted March 2002 for J.
