Various observables in compact CFTs are required to obey positivity, discreteness, and integrality. Positivity forms the crux of the conformal bootstrap, but understanding of the abstract implications of discreteness and integrality for the…
We study the operational bivariant theory associated to the covariant theory of Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves, and prove that it has many geometric properties analogous to those of operational Chow theory. This operational…
In analogy to complex function theory we introduce a Szeg\"o metric in the context of hypercomplex function theory dealing with functions that take values in a Clifford algebra. In particular, we are dealing with Clifford algebra valued…
We study an open question at the interplay between the classical and the dynamical Mordell-Lang conjectures in positive characteristic. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, let $G$ be a finitely generated…
Jury and Martin establish an analogue of the classical inner-outer factorization of Hardy space functions. They show that every function $f$ in a Hilbert function space with a normalized complete Pick reproducing kernel has a factorization…
We extend a classical result of Caughran/Schwartz and another recent result of Gunatillake by showing that if D is a bounded, convex domain in n-dimensional complex space, m is a holomorphic function on D and bounded away from zero toward…
Characteristic functions of linear operators are analytic functions that serve as complete unitary invariants. Such functions, as long as they are built in a natural and canonical manner, provide representations of inner functions on a…
Using the tools of Sz.-Nagy--Foias theory of contractions, we describe in detail the invariant subspaces of the operator $ S\oplus S^* $, where $ S $ is the unilateral shift on a Hilbert space. This answers a question of C\^amara and Ross.
The class of uniformly computable real functions with respect to a small subrecursive class of operators computes the elementary functions of calculus, restricted to compact subsets of their domains. The class of conditionally computable…
Using the idea of strong uniform convergence on bornology, Caserta, Di Maio and Ko\v{c}inac studied open covers and selection principles in the realm of metric spaces (associated with a bornology) and function spaces (w.r.t. the topology of…
The seminal theorem of I.J. Schoenberg characterizes positive definite (p.d.) kernels on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ invariant under the automorphisms of the sphere. We obtain two generalizations of this theorem for p.d. kernels on fiber…
In [19] there is an approach to the investigation of the pseudocontinuability of Schur functions in terms of Schur parameters. In particular, there was obtained a criterion for the pseudocontinuability of Schur functions and the Schur…
We prove a factorization theorem for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose kernel has a normalized complete Nevanlinna-Pick factor. This result relates the functions in the original space to pointwise multipliers determined by the…
We present an exact, closed-form expression for the Newtonian potential of the characteristic function associated with two overlapping discs in the plane. This setting naturally arises when discretising nonlocal interaction terms present in…
For any bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^m,$ let ${\mathrm B}_1(\Omega)$ denote the Cowen-Douglas class of commuting $m$-tuples of bounded linear operators. For an $m$-tuple $\boldsymbol T$ in the Cowen-Douglas class ${\mathrm…
This article develops several functional models for a given $\Gamma_n$-contraction. The first model is motivated by the Douglas functional model for a contraction. We then establish factorization results that clarify the relationship…
Given a fixed sigma-finite measure space $\left(X,\mathscr{B},\nu\right)$, we shall study an associated family of positive definite kernels $K$. Their factorizations will be studied with view to their role as covariance kernels of a variety…
We consider the group $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ of isometries of a semi-homogeneous tree $T=T_{q_+,q_-}$ with valencies $q_+ +1$ and $q_- +1$ and its two orbits $V_+$, $V_-$ respectively. We make use of the action of $\mathrm{Aut} (T)$ to equip the…
For an invertible linear operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$, put \[ \alpha(T^*,T) := -T^{*2}T^2 + (1+r^2) T^* T - r^2 I, \] where $I$ stands for the identity operator on $H$ and $r\in (0,1)$; this expression comes from applying Agler's…
The role of integrable systems in string theory is discussed. We remind old examples of the correspondence between stringy partition functions or effective actions and integrable equations, based on effective application of the matrix model…
