TY - JOUR A1 - Guerrero García, Julio AU - Sánchez Monreal, Juan Carlos AU - Calixto Molina, Manuel T1 - Sampling Theorem and Discrete Fourier Transform on the Riemann Sphere Y1 - 2008 SN - 1069-5869 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10317/525 UR - arXiv:math-ph/0612046v1 AB - Using coherent-state techniques, we prove a sampling theorem for Majorana’s (holomorphic) functions on the Riemann sphere and we provide an exact reconstruction formula as a convolution product of N samples and a given reconstruction kernel (a sinc-type function). We also discuss the effect of over- and under-sampling. Sample points are roots of unity, a fact which allows explicit inversion formulas for resolution and overlapping kernel operators through the theory of Circulant Matrices and Rectangular Fourier Matrices. The case of band-limited functions on the Riemann sphere, with spins up to J, is also considered. The connection with the standard Euler angle picture, in terms of spherical harmonics, is established through a discrete Bargmann transform.
