From point sets to curves: 𝑡-Designs and Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities on the sphere

Martin Ehler, Karlheinz Gröchenig, Clemens Karner

Short summary

New geodesic cycles on the sphere are constructed that act as t-designs, enabling equal-weight quadrature, and others are proven to exist that satisfy Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities with near-optimal length.

Key points

  • Explicit geodesic cycles are constructed that achieve t-design properties for small t.
  • The existence of geodesic cycles satisfying Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities with asymptotically optimal length is proven.
  • These findings connect geometric curve constructions on the sphere to quadrature rules and approximation theory.

Abstract

A geodesic cycle is a closed curve that connects finitely many points along geodesics. We study geodesic cycles on the sphere in regard to their role in equal-weight quadrature via t t -designs and in approximation theory through Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities. In the first part we analyze and construct explicit geodesic cycles that lead to t t -design curves for small t t . In the second part we prove the existence of geodesic cycles satisfying Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequalities with asymptotically optimal length.
