Spherical harmonics and description of the RKHS. A standard approach to study the RKHS of a kernel is through the spectral decomposition of an integral operator $T$ given by $\begin{array} { r } { T f ( x ) = \int k ( x , y ) f ( y ) d \tau ( y ) } \end{array}$ for some measure $\tau$ , leading to Mercer’s theorem (e.g., Cucker & Smale, 2002). When inputs lie on the sphere $\mathbb { S } ^ { d - 1 }$ in $d$ dimensions, dot-product kernels of the form $k ( x , x ^ { \prime } ) = \kappa ( x ^ { \prime } x ^ { \prime } )$ are rotationally-invariant, depending only on the angle between $x$ and $x ^ { \prime }$ . Similarly to how translation-invariant kernels are diagonalized in the Fourier basis, rotation-invariant kernels are diagonalized in the basis of spherical harmonics (Smola et al., 2001; Bach, 2017a), which lead to connections between eigenvalue decays and regularity as in the Fourier setting. In particular, if $\tau$ denotes the uniform measure on $\mathbb { S } ^ { d - 1 }$ , then $T Y _ { k , j } = \mu _ { k } Y _ { k , j }$ , where $Y _ { k , j }$ is the $j$ -th spherical harmonic polynomial of degree $k$ , where $k$ plays the role of a frequency as in the Fourier case, and the number of such orthogonal polynomials of degree $k$ is given by $\begin{array} { r } { N ( d , k ) = \frac { 2 k + d - 2 } { k } \binom { k + d - 3 } { d - 2 } } \end{array}$ 2 |
