A Faber–Krahn inequality for Wavelet transforms

Abstract

AbstractFor some special window functions , we prove that, over all sets of fixed hyperbolic measure , those for which the Wavelet transform with window concentrates optimally are exactly the discs with respect to the pseudo‐hyperbolic metric of the upper half space. This answers a question raised by Abreu and Dörfler in Abreu and Dörfler (Inverse Problems 28 (2012) 16). Our techniques make use of a framework recently developed by Nicola and Tilli in Nicola and Tilli (Invent. Math. 230 (2022) 1–30), but in the hyperbolic context induced by the dilation symmetry of the Wavelet transform. This leads us naturally to use a hyperbolic rearrangement function, as well as the hyperbolic isoperimetric inequality, in our analysis.
