Positive-definite kernel functions are fundamental elements of kernel methods and Gaussian processes. A well-known construction of such functions comes from Bochner's characterization, which connects a positive-definite function with a…

The general perception is that kernel methods are not scalable, and neural nets are the methods of choice for nonlinear learning problems. Or have we simply not tried hard enough for kernel methods? Here we propose an approach that scales…

In this paper, we show that the approximation of high-dimensional functions, which are effectively low-dimensional, does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality. This is shown first in a general reproducing kernel Hilbert space set-up…

The nature of the classical canonical phase-space variables for gravity suggests that the associated quantum field operators should obey affine commutation relations rather than canonical commutation relations. Prior to the introduction of…

The aim of the paper is to create a link between the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) and the notion of a unitary representation of a group or of a groupoid. More specifically, it is demonstrated on one hand, how to…

Let $K$ be a compact group, and let $\rho$ be a representation of $K$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}_\rho$. We classify invariant subspaces of $\mathcal{H}_\rho$ in terms of range functions, and investigate frames of the form $\{\rho(\xi)…
