We discuss a problem initially thought for the Mathematical Olympiad but which has several interpretations. The recurrence sequences involved in this problem may be generalized to recurrence sequences related to a much larger set of…
This paper reports a numerical study of complex classical trajectories of a particle in an elliptic potential. This study of doubly-periodic potentials is a natural sequel to earlier work on complex classical trajectories in trigonometric…
An approach is suggested for modeling quark and lepton masses and mixing in the context of grand unified theories that explains the curious fact that m_u ~ m_d even though m_t >> m_b. The structure of the quark mass matrices is such as to…
The purpose of this paper is to study the reflections of a convex body. In particular, we are interested in orthogonal reflections of its sections that can be extended to reflections of the whole body. For this reason, we need to study the…
Double integrals that represent matrix elements of the power and logarithmic potentials in the Legendre polynoiomial basis on [-1,1] are found in a closed form. Several proofs are given, which involve different special functions and…
In this paper, we give a generating function for Multiple Charlier polynomials and deduce several consequences for these polynomials as invertion formula, connection formula, addition formula and recurrences relations they satisfy. Next, we…
Within the framework of the two-Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM), we attempt to find some discrete, non-abelian flavour symmetry which could provide an explanation for the masses and mixing matrix elements of leptons. Unlike the Standard Model,…
A monomial basis and a filtration of subalgebras for the universal enveloping algebra $U(g_l)$ of a complex simple Lie algebra $g_l$ of type $A_l$ is given in this note. In particular, a new multiplicity formula for the Weyl module…
In this paper we discuss a couple of observations related to polynomial convexity. More precisely, (i) We observe that the union of finitely many disjoint closed balls with centres in $\cup_{\theta\in[0,\pi/2]}e^{i\theta}V$ is polynomially…
We investigate a connection between the differential of polylogarithms (as considered by Cathelineau) and a finite variant of them. This allows to answer a question raised by Kontsevich concerning the construction of functional equations…
Many mathematical statements have the following form. If something is true for all finite subsets of an infinite set $I$, then it is true for all of $I$. This paper describes some old and new results on infinite sets of linear and…
This text contains over three hundred specific open questions on various topics in additive combinatorics, each placed in context by reviewing all relevant results. While the primary purpose is to provide an ample supply of problems for…
In a recent Letter, Gurovitch and Sens studied the adsorption of a weakly charged polyelectrolyte chain onto an oppositely charged colloidal particle. By using a variational technique they found that the colloidal particle can adsorb a…
Some aspects of multidimensional soliton geometry are considered.
A conjecture of I. Krasikov is proved. Several discrete analogues of classical polynomial inequalities are derived, along with results which allow extensions to a class of transcendental entire functions in the Laguerre-P\'olya class.
We compare the concept of triplet of closely embedded Hilbert spaces with that of generalised triplet of Hilbert spaces in the sense of Berezanskii by showing when they coincide, when they are different, and when starting from one of them…
Superintegrable Hamiltonian systems describing the interactions among three point masses on a line have been described in [2]. Here, we show examples of how the approach of above can be extended to a higher number of particles on a line and…
We propose an extension of the standard model introducing large $SU(2)_L$ multiplet fields which are quartet and septet scalars and quintet Majorana fermions. These multiplets can induce the neutrino masses via interactions with the $SU(2)$…

We construct an algebraic variety by resolving singularities of a quintic Calabi-Yau threefold. The middle cohomology of the threefold is shown to contain a piece coming from a pair of elliptic surfaces. The resulting quotient is a…
