Abstract

Finite frames can be viewed as mass points distributed in N-dimensional Euclidean space. As such they form a subclass of a larger and rich class of probability measures that we call probabilistic frames. We derive the basic properties of probabilistic frames, and we characterize one of their subclasses in terms of minimizers of some appropriate potential function. In addition, we survey a range of areas where probabilistic frames, albeit under different names, appear. These areas include directional statistics, the geometry of convex bodies, and the theory of t-designs.
