Kadec-type theorems for sampled group orbits
Ilya Krishtal, Brendan Miller
TL;DR
The paper generalizes Kadec's $1/4$ perturbation theorem to frames and Riesz bases formed by sampling an orbit $\\{\\mathcal{T}(\\gamma_n)x\\}$ under an isometric representation with Beurling spectrum $\\Lambda(\\mathcal{H},\\mathcal{T})\\subseteq[-\\gamma,\\gamma]$. It develops the $\\mathcal{F}L^1_{loc}$ operator functional calculus for generators of Banach $L^1(\\mathbb{R})$-modules and uses a Paley–Wiener–type perturbation lemma together with a Kadec-style decomposition to derive explicit perturbation bounds on frame constants under $\\delta=\\sup_n|\\tilde{\\gamma}_n-\\gamma_n|$; in particular, if $\\delta$ is below the threshold, the perturbed system preserves frame (and Riesz-basis) properties with computable new bounds. The results extend to atomic decompositions in Banach spaces via Christensen– Heil, providing analogous bounds and basis preservation under perturbation. The work broadens Kadec-type perturbation theory to dynamical sampling contexts and suggests future extensions to non-isometric representations and related theorems (Katsnelson, Avdonin).
Abstract
We extend the classical Kadec 1/4 theorem for systems of exponential functions on an interval to frames and atomic decompositions formed by sampling an orbit of a vector under an isometric group representation.
