The Mehler-Fock Transform and some Applications in Texture Analysis and Color Processing
Many stochastic processes are defined on special geometrical objects like spheres and cones. We describe how tools from harmonic analysis, i.e. Fourier analysis on groups, can be used to investigate probability density functions (pdfs) on groups and homogeneous spaces. We consider the special case of the Lorentz group SU(1,1) and the unit disk with its hyperbolic geometry, but the procedure can be generalized to a much wider class of Lie-groups. We mainly concentrate on the Mehler-Fock transform which is the radial part of the Fourier transform on the disk. Some of the characteristic features of this transform are the relation to group-convolutions, the isometry between signal and transform space, the relation to the Laplace-Beltrami operator and the relation to group representation theory. We will give an overview over these properties and their applications in signal processing. We will illustrate the theory with two examples from low-level vision and color image processing.

Asian Option Pricing via Laguerre Quadrature: A Diffusion Kernel Approach
This paper will demonstrate some new techniques for developing the theory of Asian (arithmetic average) options pricing. We discuss the basic derivation of the diffusion equations, and how various techniques from potenti…
An approach to the Gaussian RBF kernels via Fock spaces
We use methods from the Fock space and Segal-Bargmann theories to prove several results on the Gaussian RBF kernel in complex analysis. The latter is one of the most used kernels in modern machine learning kernel methods…
