Projections and Dyadic Parseval Frame MRA Wavelets

Abstract: A classical theorem attributed to Naimark states that, given a Parseval frame $\mathcal{B}$ in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, one can embed $\mathcal{H}$ in a larger Hilbert space $\mathcal{K}$ so that the image of $\mathcal{B}$ is the projection of an orthonormal basis for $\mathcal{K}$. In the present work, we revisit the notion of Parseval frame MRA wavelets from two papers of Paluszy\'nski, \v{S}iki\'c, Weiss, and Xiao (PSWX) and produce an analog of Naimark's theorem for these wavelets at the level of their scaling functions. We aim to make this discussion as self-contained as possible and provide a different point of view on Parseval frame MRA wavelets than that of PSWX.
