We discuss a procedure to construct multiresolution analyses (MRA) of L2(R) starting from a given seed function h(s) which should satisfy some conditions. Our method, originally related to the quantum mechanical Hamiltonian of the fractional quantum Hall effect, is shown to be model independent. The role of a canonical map between certain canonically conjugate operators is discussed. This clarifies our previous procedure and makes much easier most of the original formulas, producing a convenient framework to produce examples of MRA.

Wavelet analysis, which is a shorthand notation for the concept of multiresolution analysis (MRA), becomes increasingly popular in high efficiency storage algorithms of complex spatial distributions. This approach is applied for describing wave functions of quantum systems. At any resolution level of MRA expansions a physical observable is represented by an infinite matrix which is “canonically” chosen as the projection of its operator in the Schrödinger picture onto the subspace of the given resolution. It is shown that this canonical choice is only a particular member of possible operator representations. Among these, there exits an optimal choice, usually different from the canonical one, which gives the best numerical values in eigenvalue problems. This construction works even in those cases, where the canonical definition is unusable. The commutation relation of physical operators is also studied in MRA subspaces. It is shown that the required commutation rules are satisfied in the fine resolution limit, whereas in coarse grained spaces a correction appears depending only on the representation of the momentum operator.
We formulate an algebraic approach to quantum mechanics in fractional dimensions in which the momentum and position operators P , Q satisfy the R -deformed Heisenberg relations, which depend on an operator ν. We find representations of P , Q in which the dimension d and angular momentum ℓ appear as parameters related to the eigenvalues of ν. We analyse the domain of P and find conditions which ensure that P is Hermitian. We investigate plane wave solutions and also free particle wavefunctions in fractional dimensions, and show that as a consequence of wavefunction continuity ℓ is quantized. The representations of P , Q also lead to the corresponding representations of paraboson operators which are used to solve the harmonic oscillator in dimension d , both algebraically and analytically. We demonstrate that the formalism extends also to time-dependent Hamiltonians by solving the time-dependent harmonic oscillator in any dimension d > 0 using the method of Lewis and Riesenfeld.
In a recent series of papers we have analyzed a certain deformation of the canonical commutation relations producing an interesting functional structure which has been proved to have some connections with physics, and in particular with quasi-hermitian quantum mechanics. Here we repeat a similar analysis starting with the canonical anticommutation relations. We will show that in this case most of the assumptions needed in the former situation are automatically satisfied, making our construction rather {\em friendly}. We discuss some examples of our construction, again related to quasi-hermitian quantum mechanics, and the bi-coherent states for the system.
We study classical and quantum harmonic analysis of phase space functions (classical observes) on finite Heisenberg group HW 2N+1 (Z N m n,Z N m n, Z m n) over the ring Z m n. This group is the discrete version of the real Heisenberg group HW 2N+1 (R N , R N , R), where R is the real field. These functions have one dimensional and m 1 , m 2 ,..., m n -dimensions matrix valued spectral components (for irreducible representations of HW 2N+1 . The family of all ID representations gives classical world world (CW). Various m i -dimension representations (i = 1,2,...,n) map classical world (CW) into quantum worlds QW(m i ) of ith resolution (i = 1,2,....n). Worlds QW(m 1 ) and QW(m n ) contain rough information and fine details about quantum word, respectively. In this case the Fourier transform on the Heisenberg group can be considered as Weyl quantization multiresolution procedure. We call this transform the natural quantum Fourier transform.
