  • Localised frames for tensor product spaces. / Bytchenkoff, Dimitri; Speckbacher, Michael; Balazs, Peter.
    in: Monatshefte fur Mathematik, 18.05.2026.

    In this paper, we investigate whether the tensor product of two frames, each individually localised with respect to a spectral matrix algebra, is also localised with respect to a suitably chosen tensor product algebra. We provide a partial answer by constructing an involutive Banach algebra of rank-four tensors that is built from two solid spectral matrix algebras. We show that this algebra is inverse-closed, given that the original algebras satisfy a specific property related to operator-valued versions of these algebras. This condition is satisfied by all commonly used solid spectral matrix algebras. We then prove that the tensor product of two self-localised frames remains self-localised with respect to our newly constructed tensor algebra. Additionally, we discuss generalisations to localised frames of Hilbert-Schmidt operators, which may not necessarily consist of rank-one operators.

    2025 International Conference on Sampling Theory and Applications (SampTA). IEEE, 2025.

    Given a sampling measure for the wavelet transform (resp. the short-time Fourier transform) with the wavelet (resp. window) being chosen from the family of Laguerre (resp. Hermite) functions, we provide quantitative upper bounds on the radius of any ball that does not intersect the support of the measure. The estimates depend on the condition number, i.e., the ratio of the sampling constants, but are independent of the structure of the measure. Our proofs are completely elementary and rely on explicit formulas for the respective transforms.
