Abstract

It is proved that for a second-order, homogeneous, random process on a globally symmetric space a filter, that is a closed linear operator which is invariant under a group of isometries of the space, may be fully described through a response function, that is that it has a direct integral decomposition into components which are scalar multiples of the identity.
