In 3D single particle imaging with X-ray free-electron lasers, particle orientation is not recorded during measurement but is instead recovered as a necessary step in the reconstruction of a 3D image from the diffraction data. Here we use…
A new formalism is derived for the analysis and exact reconstruction of band-limited signals on the sphere with directional wavelets. It represents an evolution of the wavelet formalism developed by Antoine & Vandergheynst (1999) and Wiaux…
This paper resolves a long-standing open problem by providing a classification of Willmore $2$-spheres in $S^n$. We show that any such $2$-sphere is either totally isotropic--originating from the projection of a special twistor curve in the…
Directional wavelet dictionaries are hierarchical representations which efficiently capture and segment information across scale, location and orientation. Such representations demonstrate a particular affinity to physical signals, which…

Consider $ G:= PSL_2(\R)\equiv T^1\H^2$, a modular group $ \Gamma$, and the homogeneous space $ \Gamma\sm G \equiv T^1(\Gamma\sm\H^2)$. Endow $ G $, and then $ \Gamma\sm G $, with a canonical left-invariant metric, thereby equipping it with…
