Linear Canonical Domains and Degrees of Freedom of Signals and Systems

2016-01-01
We discuss the relationships between linear canonical transform (LCT) domains, fractional Fourier transform (FRT) domains, and the space-frequency plane. In particular, we show that LCT domains correspond to scaled fractional Fourier domains and thus to scaled oblique axes in the space-frequency plane. This allows LCT domains to be labeled and monotonically ordered by the corresponding fractional order parameter and provides a more transparent view of the evolution of light through an optical system modeled by LCTs. We then study the number of degrees of freedom of optical systems and signals based on these concepts. We first discuss the bicanonical width product (BWP), which is the number of degrees of freedom of LCT-limited signals. The BWP generalizes the space-bandwidth product and often provides a tighter measure of the actual number of degrees of freedom of signals. We illustrate the usefulness of the notion of BWP in two applications: efficient signal representation and efficient system simulation. In the first application we provide a sub-Nyquist sampling approach to represent and reconstruct signals with arbitrary space-frequency support. In the second application we provide a fast discrete LCT (DLCT) computation method which can accurately compute a (continuous) LCT with the minimum number of samples given by the BWP. Finally, we focus on the degrees of freedom of first-order optical systems with multiple apertures. We show how to explicitly quantify the degrees of freedom of such systems, state conditions for lossless transfer through the system and analyze the effects of lossy transfer.

Galois structure of modular forms of even weight
Gurel, E. (Elsevier BV, 2009-10-01)
We calculate the equivariant Euler characteristics of powers of the canonical sheaf on certain modular curves over Z which have a tame action of a finite abelian group. As a consequence, we obtain information on the Galois module structure of modular forms of even weight having Fourier coefficients in certain ideals of rings of cyclotomic algebraic integers.

Linear Algebraic Analysis of Fractional Fourier Domain Interpolation
Öktem, Sevinç Figen (2009-01-01)
n this work, we present a novel linear algebraic approach to certain signal interpolation problems involving the fractional Fourier transform. These problems arise in wave propagation, but the proposed approach to these can also be applicable to other areas. We see this interpolation problem as the problem of determining the unknown signal values from the given samples within some tolerable error We formulate the problem as a linear system of equations and use the condition number as a measure of redundant ...
Curves with many points and configurations of hyperplanes over finite fields
Özbudak, Ferruh (Elsevier BV, 1999-10-01)
We establish a correspondence between a class of Kummer extensions of the rational function field and configurations of hyperplanes in an affine space. Using this correspondence, we obtain explicit curves over finite fields with many rational points. Some of our examples almost attain the Oesterle bound. (C) 1999 Academic Press.

In this note, following Kordek's work we will compute the equivariant Picard groups of the moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces with certain finite abelian symmetries.
ON FINITE GALOIS STABLE ARITHMETIC GROUPS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
Khrebtova, Ekaterina S.; Malinin, Dmitry (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2008-12-01)
We prove the existence and finiteness theorems for integral representations stable under Galois operation. An explicit construction of the realization fields for representations of finite groups stable under the natural operation of the Galois group is given. We also compare the representations over fields and the rings of integers, and give a quantitative result on the rarity of integral Galois stable representations. There is a series of related conjectures and applications to arithmetic algebraic geometr...
