Abstract (eng)
This thesis is concerned with necessary density conditions for frames and Riesz sequences indexed by discrete subsets of homogeneous groups. We define a density on homogeneous groups in analogy to the Beurling density on R^n , however, adapted to the geometry of homogeneous groups.
Employing this density, we present a theorem for the comparison of the densities of frames and Riesz sequences indexed by discrete subsets of homogeneous groups. It is a first non-commutative extension of previous results like the density theorem for irregular Gabor frames of Ramanathan and Steger and its generalization to abstract frames with `commutative index sets' by Balan, Casazza, Heil und Landau.
The comparison theorem is used to derive necessary density conditions for sampling and interpolation in shift-invariant spaces on homogeneous groups. This is done via the correspondence of sampling sets and frames of reproducing kernels.
Further, necessary density conditions for frames and Riesz sequences in the orbit of projective square-integrable group representations are investigated with the help of the comparison theorem. For some concrete examples of projective representations of low-dimensional homogeneous groups we construct orthonormal bases in the orbit and thereby deduce explicit thresholds for the density of frames and Riesz sequences in the respective orbits.
