Situations of a functional predictor paired with a scalar response are increasingly encountered in data analysis. Predictors are often appropriately modeled as square integrable smooth random functions. Imposing minimal assumptions on the…
Multivariate hypergeometric functions associated with toric varieties were introduced by Gel'fand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky. Singularities of such functions are discriminants, that is, divisors projectively dual to torus orbit closures. We…
We develop a formula for the diagonal values of the Hadamard coefficients associated to a normally hyperbolic operator on a globally hyperbolic spacetime in terms of the advanced and retarded Green's operators. We develop a local formula as…
The torsion function of a convex planar domain has convex level sets, but explicit formulae are known only for rectangles and ellipses. Here we study the torsion function on convex planar domains of high eccentricity. We obtain an…
This paper investigates the transformation of determinants of pairs of Fredholm operators with trace class commutators. We study the extent to which the functional calculus commutes, modulo operator ideals, with projections in a finitely…
In the present paper, we prove an abstract functional analytic criterion for a class of linear partial differential operators acting on a domain $\Omega\subseteq\Bbb R^n$ which are elliptic in the interior to have compact resolvent. This…
The temperature dependence of the order parameter of the Schwinger model is calculated in the euclidean functional integral approach. For that we solve the model on a finite torus and let the spatial extension tend to infinity at the end of…
A discrete Fourier analysis associated with translation lattices is developed recently by the authors. It permits two lattices, one determining the integral domain and the other determining the family of exponential functions. Possible…
This thesis is intended to provide an account of the theory and applications of Operational Methods that allow the "translation" of the theory of special functions and polynomials into a "different" mathematical language. The language we…
We address the decision problem for a fragment of real analysis involving differentiable functions with continuous first derivatives. The proposed theory, besides the operators of Tarski's theory of reals, includes predicates for…
Notions of (pointwise) tangential dimension are considered, for measures of R^n. Under regularity conditions (volume doubling), the upper resp. lower dimension at a point x of a measure can be defined as the supremum, resp. infimum, of…
We deform the well-known three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ Wess-Zumino model by adding higher derivative operators (Lee-Wick operators) to its action. The effects of these operators are investigated both at the classical and quantum levels.
Given a three dimensional pseudo-Einstein CR manifold $(M,T^{1,0}M,\theta)$, we establish an expression for the difference of determinants of the Paneitz type operators $A_{\theta}$, related to the problem of prescribing the $Q'$-curvature,…
We apply a `dimensional reduction' mechanism to the evaluation of the functional integral for the vacuum energy of a real scalar field in the presence of non-trivial backgrounds, in d+1 dimensions. The reduction is implemented by applying a…
This investigation pertains to the construction of a class of generalised deformed derivative operators which furnish the familiar finite difference and the q-derivatives as special cases. The procedure involves the introduction of a linear…
The higher spin Laplace operator has been constructed recently as the generalization of the Laplacian in higher spin theory. This acts on functions taking values in arbitrary irreducible representations of the Spin group. In this paper, we…
Functional integrals are defined in terms of locally compact topological groups and their associated Banach-valued Haar integrals. This approach generalizes the functional integral scheme of Cartier and DeWitt-Morette. The definition allows…
Conventional functional/path integrals used in physics are most often defined and understood, either explicitly or implicitly, as the infinite-dimensional analog of Fourier transform. In this paper, the infinite-dimensional analog of Mellin…
Ordinary differential equations of the first order on the torus have been investigated in detail by H. Poincar\'e and A. Denjoy. The long-standing problem of generalising these results for the equations of the order $k>1$ (or for the…
