TL;DR: In this paper, a self-contained derivation from basic principles such as the Euclidean algorithm, with a focus on applying it to wavelet filtering, is presented, which asymptotically reduces the computational complexity of the transform by a factor two.
Abstract: This article is essentially tutorial in nature. We show how any discrete wavelet transform or two band subband filtering with finite filters can be decomposed into a finite sequence of simple filtering steps, which we call lifting steps but that are also known as ladder structures. This decomposition corresponds to a factorization of the polyphase matrix of the wavelet or subband filters into elementary matrices. That such a factorization is possible is well-known to algebraists (and expressed by the formulaSL(n;R[z, z−1])=E(n;R[z, z−1])); it is also used in linear systems theory in the electrical engineering community. We present here a self-contained derivation, building the decomposition from basic principles such as the Euclidean algorithm, with a focus on applying it to wavelet filtering. This factorization provides an alternative for the lattice factorization, with the advantage that it can also be used in the biorthogonal, i.e., non-unitary case. Like the lattice factorization, the decomposition presented here asymptotically reduces the computational complexity of the transform by a factor two. It has other applications, such as the possibility of defining a wavelet-like transform that maps integers to integers.

TL;DR: A comprehensive exposition of the theory of central simple algebras with involution, in relation with linear algebraic groups is given in this article, which provides the algebra-theoretic foundations for much of the recent work on linear algebraIC groups over arbitrary fields.
Abstract: This monograph yields a comprehensive exposition of the theory of central simple algebras with involution, in relation with linear algebraic groups It aims to provide the algebra-theoretic foundations for much of the recent work on linear algebraic groups over arbitrary fields Involutions are viewed as twisted forms of similarity classes of hermitian or bilinear forms, leading to new developments on the model of the algebraic theory of quadratic forms Besides classical groups, phenomena related to triality are also discussed, as well as groups of type F_4 or G_2 arising from exceptional Jordan or composition algebras Several results and notions appear here for the first time, notably the discriminant algebra of an algebra with unitary involution and the algebra-theoretic counterpart to linear groups of type D_4 For research mathematicians and graduate students working in central simple algebras, algebraic groups, nonabelian Galois cohomology or Jordan algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, Soergel et al. showed that the block of the Bernstein-Gelfand-gelfand category O that corresponds to any fixed central character is a Koszul ring and the dual of that ring governs a certain subcategory of the category O again.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to work out a concrete example as well as to provide the general pattern of applications of Koszul duality to repre- sentation theory. The paper consists of three parts relatively independent of each other. The first part gives a reasonably selfcontained introduction to Koszul rings and Koszul duality. Koszul rings are certain Z-graded rings with particularly nice homological properties which involve a kind of duality. Thus, to a Koszul ring one associates naturally the dual Koszul ring. The second part is devoted to an application to representation theory of semisimple Lie algebras.

Moreover, the dual of that ring governs a certain subcategory of the category O again. This generalizes the selfduality theorem conjectured by Beilinson and Ginsburg in 1986 and proved by Soergel in 1990. In the third part we study certain cate- gories of mixed perverse sheaves on a variety stratified by affine linear spaces. We provide a general criterion for such a category to be governed by a Koszul ring. In the flag variety case this reduces to the setup of part two. In the more general case of affine flag manifolds and affine Grassmannians the criterion should yield interesting results about representations of quantum groups and affine Lie algebras.
