Generalizing Geometric Nonwindowed Scattering Transforms on Compact Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a compact, smooth, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary. In this paper, we generalize nonwindowed geometric scattering transforms, which we formulate as ${\mathbf{L}}^q(\mathcal{M})$ norms of a cascade of geometric wavelet transforms and modulus operators. We then provide weighted measures for these operators, prove that these operators are well-defined under specific conditions on the manifold, invariant to the action of isometries, and stable to diffeomorphisms for $\lambda$-bandlimited functions.
