We show that an isotropic random field on $SU(2)$ is not necessarily isotropic as a random field on $S^3$, although the two spaces can be identified. The ambiguity is due to the fact that the notion of isotropy on a group and on a sphere…

Isotropic Gaussian random fields on the sphere are characterized by Karhunen-Lo\`{e}ve expansions with respect to the spherical harmonic functions and the angular power spectrum. The smoothness of the covariance is connected to the decay of…

We analyse the ground-state energy and correlation energy of the Heisenberg model as a function of spin, both in the ferromagnetic and in the antiferromagnetic case, and in one, two and three dimensions. First, we present a comparative…
This paper discusses sparse isotropic regularization for a random field on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, where the field is expanded in terms of a spherical harmonic basis. A key feature is that the norm used in the…
We develop a technique for the construction of random fields on algebraic structures. We deal with two general situations: random fields on homogeneous spaces of a compact group and in the spin-line bundles of the 2-sphere. In particular,…
We demonstrate that it is conceptually and computationally favorable to regard spin-weighted spherical harmonics as vector valued functions on the total space $SO(3)$ of the Hopf bundle, satisfying a covariance condition with respect to the…
