Letbe a Hilbert space of finite dimensiond, such as the finite signalsℓ2(d) or a space of multivariate orthogonal polynomials, andn≥d. There is a finite number of tight frames ofnvectors forwhich can be obtained as the orbit of a single vector under the unitary action of an abelian groupG(of symmetries of the frame). Each of these so calledharmonic framesorgeometrically uniform framescan be obtained from the character table ofGin a simple way. These frames are used in signal processing and information theory. For a nonabelian groupGthere are in general uncountably many inequivalent tight frames ofnvectors forwhich can be obtained as such aG-orbit. However, by adding an additional natural symmetry condition (which automatically holds ifGis abelian), we obtain a finite class of such frames which can be constructed from the character table ofGin a similar fashion to the harmonic frames. This is done by identifying eachG-orbit with an element of the group algebra ℂG(via its Gramian), imposing the condition in the group algebra, and then describing the corresponding class of tight frames.
