Multiresolution wavelet analysis of integer scale Bessel functions

Abstract

We identify multiresolution subspaces giving rise via Hankel transforms to Bessel functions. They emerge as orthogonal systems derived from geometric Hilbert-space considerations, the same way the wavelet functions from a multiresolution scaling wavelet construction arise from a scale of Hilbert spaces. We study the theory of representations of the C*-algebra Oν+1 arising from this multiresolution analysis. A connection with Markov chains and representations of Oν+1 is found. Projection valued measures arising from the multiresolution analysis give rise to a Markov trace for the quantum groups SOq.
