A noncommutative (nc) function in $x_1,\dots,x_g,x_1^*,\dots,x_g$ is called plurisubharmonic (plush) if its nc complex Hessian takes only positive semidefinite values on an nc neighborhood of 0. The main result of this paper shows that an…

We prove that, in general, given a $p$-harmonic map $F:M\to N$ and a convex function $H:N\to\mathbb{R}$, the composition $H\circ F$ is not $p$-subharmonic. By assuming some rotational symmetry on manifolds and functions, we reduce the…

In contrast to an infinite family of explicit examples of two-dimensional $p$-harmonic functions obtained by G.Aronsson in the late 80s, there is very little known about the higher-dimensional case. In this paper, we show how to use…

Let $\h_n$ be the $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg group. and let ${\cal L}_\alpha$ be the sublaplacian of the Lie algebra of $\h_n$ A new spherical harmonics with its orthogonal polynomial properties is presented for the group.

The Dominative $p$-Laplace Operator is introduced. This operator is a relative to the $p$-Laplacian, but with the distinguishing property of being sublinear. It explains the superposition principle in the $p$-Laplace Equation.

A multivariate polynomial $p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_n)$ is sos-convex if its Hessian $H(x)$ can be factored as $H(x)= M^T(x) M(x)$ with a possibly nonsquare polynomial matrix $M(x)$. It is easy to see that sos-convexity is a sufficient condition…

We consider the Laplacian with drift in $\mathbb R^n$ defined by $\Delta_\nu = \sum_{i=1}^n(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i^2} + 2 \nu_i\frac{\partial }{\partial{x_i}})$ where $\nu=(\nu_1,\ldots,\nu_n)\in \mathbb R^n\setminus\{0\}$. The…

We prove an inequality for polynomials applied in a symmetric way to non-commuting operators.

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…
