We study Lie subalgebras $L$ of the vector fields $\mathrm{Vec}^{c}({\mathbb A}^{2})$ of affine 2-space ${\mathbb A}^{2}$ of constant divergence, and we classify those $L$ which are isomorphic to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{aff}_{2}$ of the…

We consider polynomials of the form $\operatorname{h}_m(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]})$, where $\operatorname{h}_m$ is the complete homogeneous polynomial of degree $m$ and $y_j^{[\varkappa_j]}$ denotes $y_j$ repeated…

Umbral calculus can be viewed as an abstract theory of the Heisenberg commutation relation $[\hat P,\hat M]=1$. In ordinary quantum mechanics $\hat P$ is the derivative and $\hat M$ the coordinate operator. Here we shall realize $\hat P$ as…

Let $P$ be a bounded convex subset of $\mathbb R^n$ of positive volume. Denote the smallest degree of a polynomial $p(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ vanishing on $P\cap\mathbb Z^n$ by $r_P$ and denote the smallest number $u\geq0$ such that every function…

We prove that quadratic forms in isotropic random vectors $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, possessing the convex concentration property with constant $K$, satisfy the Hanson-Wright inequality with constant $CK$, where $C$ is an absolute constant,…

A classical result of Malgrange says that for a polynomial P and an open subset $\Omega$ of $\R^d$ the differential operator $P(D)$ is surjective on $C^\infty(\Omega)$ if and only if $\Omega$ is P-convex. H\"ormander showed that $P(D)$ is…
