It is proven that if an interpolation map between two wavelet sets preserves the union of the sets, then the pair must be an interpolation pair. We also construct an example of a pair of wavelet sets for which the congruence domains of the associated interpolation map and its inverse are equal, and yet the pair is not an interpolation pair. The first result solves affirmatively a problem that the second author had posed several years ago, and the second result solves an intriguing problem of D. Han. The key to this counterexample is a special technical lemma on constructing wavelet sets. Several other applications of this result are also given. In addition, some problems are posed. We also take the opportunity to give some general exposition on wavelet sets and operator-theoretic interpolation of wavelets.
We prove a Caratheodory-Fejer type interpolation theorem for certain matrix convex sets in $C^d$ using the Blecher-Ruan-Sinclair characterization of abstract operator algebras. Our results generalize the work of Dmitry S. Kalyuzhnyi-Verbovetzkii for the d-dimensional non-commutative polydisc.
We refine a result of Matei and Meyer on stable sampling and stable interpolation for simple model sets. Our setting is model sets in locally compact abelian groups and Fourier analysis of unbounded complex Radon measures as developed by Argabright and de Lamadrid. This leads to a refined version of the underlying model set duality between sampling and interpolation. For rather general model sets, our methods also yield an elementary proof of stable sampling and stable interpolation sufficiently far away from the critical density, which is based on the Poisson Summation Formula.
We introduce the notion of $k$-trace and use interpolation of operators to prove the joint concavity of the function $(A,B)mapstotext{Tr}_kbig[(B^frac{qs}{2}K^*A^{ps}KB^frac{qs}{2})^{frac{1}{s}}big]^frac{1}{k}$, which generalizes Liebs concavity theorem from trace to a class of homogeneous functions $text{Tr}_k[cdot]^frac{1}{k}$. Here $text{Tr}_k[A]$ denotes the $k_{text{th}}$ elementary symmetric polynomial of the eigenvalues of $A$. This result gives an alternative proof for the concavity of $Amapstotext{Tr}_kbig[exp(H+log A)big]^frac{1}{k}$ that was obtained and used in a recent work to derive expectation estimates and tail bounds on partial spectral sums of random matrices.
We initiate the study of the completely bounded multipliers of the Haagerup tensor product $A(G)otimes_{rm h} A(G)$ of two copies of the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$. If $E$ is a closed subset of $G$ we let $E^{sharp} = {(s,t) : stin E}$ and show that if $E^{sharp}$ is a set of spectral synthesis for $A(G)otimes_{rm h} A(G)$ then $E$ is a set of local spectral synthesis for $A(G)$. Conversely, we prove that if $E$ is a set of spectral synthesis for $A(G)$ and $G$ is a Moore group then $E^{sharp}$ is a set of spectral synthesis for $A(G)otimes_{rm h} A(G)$. Using the natural identification of the space of all completely bounded weak* continuous $VN(G)$-bimodule maps with the dual of $A(G)otimes_{rm h} A(G)$, we show that, in the case $G$ is weakly amenable, such a map leaves the multiplication algebra of $L^{infty}(G)$ invariant if and only if its support is contained in the antidiagonal of $G$.
We show that for every pair of matrices (S,P), having the closed symmetrized bidisc $Gamma$ as a spectral set, there is a one dimensional complex algebraic variety $Lambda$ in $Gamma$ such that for every matrix valued polynomial f, the norm of f(S,P) is less then the sup norm of f on $Lambda$. The variety $Lambda$ is shown to have a particular determinantal representation, related to the so-called fundamental operator of the pair (S,P). When (S,P) is a strict $Gamma$-contraction, then $Lambda$ is a distinguished variety in the symmetrized bidisc, i.e., a one dimensional algebraic variety that exits the symmetrized bidisc through its distinguished boundary. We characterize all distinguished varieties of the symmetrized bidisc by a determinantal representation as above.
