In recent years, a rapidly growing literature has focussed on the construction of wavelet systems to analyze functions defined on the sphere. Our purpose in this paper is to generalize these constructions to situations where sections of…
The construction of adaptive nonparametric procedures by means of wavelet thresholding techniques is now a classical topic in modern mathematical statistics. In this paper, we extend this framework to the analysis of nonparametric…
We consider the statistical analysis of random sections of a spin fibre bundle over the sphere. These may be thought of as random fields that at each point p in $S^2$ take as a value a curve (e.g. an ellipse) living in the tangent plane at…
Compared with the traditional spherical harmonics, the spherical needlets are a new generation of spherical wavelets that possess several attractive properties. Their double localization in both spatial and frequency domains empowers them…
Scale-discretised wavelets yield a directional wavelet framework on the sphere where a signal can be probed not only in scale and position but also in orientation. Furthermore, a signal can be synthesised from its wavelet coefficients…
We investigate here a generalized construction of spherical wavelets/needlets which admits extra-flexibility in the harmonic domain, i.e., it allows the corresponding support in multipole (frequency) space to vary in more general forms than…
In a recent paper, we analyzed the properties of a new kind of spherical wavelets (called needlets) for statistical inference procedures on spherical random fields; the investigation was mainly motivated by applications to cosmological…
The purpose of this paper is to join two different threads of the recent literature on random fields on the sphere, namely the statistical analysis of higher order angular power spectra on one hand, and the construction of second-generation…
Spherical needlets were introduced by Narcowich, Petrushev, and Ward to provide a multiresolution sequence of polynomial approximations to functions on the sphere. The needlet construction makes use of integration rules that are exact for…
We construct a directional spin wavelet framework on the sphere by generalising the scalar scale-discretised wavelet transform to signals of arbitrary spin. The resulting framework is the only wavelet framework defined natively on the…
In the present paper, a construction of spin weighted spherical wavelets is presented. It is based on approximate identities, the wavelets are defined for a continuous set of parameters, and the wavelet transform is invertible directly by…
This paper is concerned with density estimation of directional data on the sphere. We introduce a procedure based on thresholding on a new type of spherical wavelets called {\it needlets}. We establish a minimax result and prove its…
This paper provides quantitative Central Limit Theorems for nonlinear transforms of spherical random fields, in the high frequency limit. The sequences of fields that we consider are represented as smoothed averages of spherical Gaussian…
A new construction of a directional continuous wavelet analysis on the sphere is derived herein. We adopt the harmonic scaling idea for the spherical dilation operator recently proposed by Sanz et al. but extend the analysis to a more…
In the paper a Riemannian structure on the tangent bundle is defined by using a statistical structure $(g,\nabla)$ on the base manifold. Expressions for various curvatures of the structure are derived. Some rigidity results of the structure…
The article is devoted to microbundles over topological rings. Their structure, homomorphisms, automorphisms and extensions are studied. Moreover, compactifications and inverse spectra of microbundles over topological rings are…
We review scale-discretized wavelets on the sphere, which are directional and allow one to probe oriented structure in data defined on the sphere. Furthermore, scale-discretized wavelets allow in practice the exact synthesis of a signal…
In this note, we propose an extension of the relation between worldsheet global symmetries and structures over moduli spaces of superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to include noninvertible symmetries. The most familiar examples of such…
We construct spherical wavelets based on approximate identities that are directional, i.e. not rotation-invariant, and have an adaptive angular selectivity. The problem of how to find a proper representation of distinct kinds of details of…
We present here a simple construction of a wavelet system for the three-dimensional ball, which we label \emph{Radial 3D Needlets}. The construction envisages a data collection environment where an observer located at the centre of the ball…
