A general procedure for obtaining unitary representations of a group $G$ of affine transformations on a space of signals $L^2(X,dx)$ is described, relating carrier spaces $X$ to (first or higher-order) ``polarization subalgebras'' ${\\cal P}_X$. We also provide explicit admissibility and continuous frame conditions for wavelets on $\\mathbb S^1$ and discuss the Euclidean limit in terms of group contraction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-12-15T12:42:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "real line", "unified group-theoretical treatment", "affine transformations", "general formalism", "coherent states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.ph...6057C" } } }
