Wavelet Riesz bases associated to nonisotropic dilations

A bounded, Riemann integrable and measurable set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, which fulfills $$\sum\limits_{\gamma\in\Gamma}\mathbb{1}_K(x-\gamma)=k\text{ almost everywhere, $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$}$$ for a lattice $\Gamma\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is called $k$-tiling. If $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ is $k$-tiling $L^2(K)$ will admit a Riesz basis of exponentials. We use this result to construct generalized Riesz wavelet bases of $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$, arising from the action of suitable subsets of the affine group. One example of our construction is the first known shearlet Riesz basis.
