In this paper, we prove a noncommutative (nc for short) analog of Schwarz lemma for the nc Schur-Agler class and prove that the regular nc Schur-Agler class and the regular free Herglotz class are homeomorphic. Moreover, we give a…
Classical Schur analysis is intimately connected to the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the circle [Simon, 2005]. We investigate here the connection between multipoint Schur analysis and orthogonal rational functions. Specifically, we…
It is known that the Grothendieck group of the category of Schur functors is the ring of symmetric functions. This ring has a rich structure, much of which is encapsulated in the fact that it is a "plethory": a monoid in the category of…
A toral algebraic set $A$ is an algebraic set in $\C^n$ whose intersection with $\T^n$ is sufficiently large to determine the holomorphic functions on $A$. We develop the theory of these sets, and give a number of applications to function…
We extend the family of classical Schur algebras in type A, which determine the polynomial representation theory of general linear groups over an infinite field, to a larger family, the rational Schur algebras, which determine the rational…
We generalize our earlier results from \cite{K} on the Bessmertny\u{\i} class of operator-valued functions holomorphic in the open right poly-halfplane which admit representation as a Schur complement of a block of a linear homogeneous…
In the context of the complex-analytic structure within the unit disk centered at the origin of the complex plane, that was presented in a previous paper, we show that the complete Fourier theory of integrable real functions is contained…
We study the role of Carath\'eodory extremal functions in the Schur-Agler class generated by a collection of test functions. We show that under certain conditions, $\mathbb{D}$ and $\mathbb{D}^2$ are the only domains where finitely many…
We single out some problems of Schubert calculus of subspaces of codimension 2 that have the property that all their solutions are real provided that the data are real. Our arguments explore the connection between subspaces of codimension 2…
An operator algebraic tricategory is a higher categorical analogue of an operator algebra. For algebraic tricategories, Gordon, Power, and Street proved that every algebraic tricategory is equivalent to a Gray-category, a result later…
A certain kernel (sometimes called the Pick kernel) associated to Schur functions on the disk is always positive semi-definite. A generalization of this fact is well-known for Schur functions on the polydisk. In this article, we show that…
Let $V$ be a free module of rank $n$ over a commutative unital ring $k$. We prove that tensor space $V^{\otimes r}$ satisfies Schur--Weyl duality, regarded as a bimodule for the action of the group algebra of the Weyl group of…
Lusztig's algorithm of computing generalized Green functions of reductive groups involves an ambiguity of certain scalars. In this paper, for reductive groups of classical type with arbitrary characteristic, we determine those scalars…
We establish Kronecker limit type formula for the generalized Mordell-Tornheim zeta function $\Theta(r,r,t,x)$ as a function of the third argument around $t=1-r$. We then show that the above Kronecker limit type formula is equivalent to the…
Given a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and a collection of test functions $\Psi$ on $\Omega$, we consider the complex-valued $\Psi$-Schur-Agler class associated to the pair $(\Omega,\,\Psi)$. In this article, we characterize…
Denote by $B_n$ the set of complex square matrices of order $n$, whose Euclidean operator norms are $<1$. Its Shilov boundary is the set $U(n)$ of all unitary matrices. A holomorphic map $B_m\to B_n$ is inner if it sends $U(m)$ to $U(n)$.…
In this paper we prove a Schwarz lemma for the pentablock. The set \[ \mathcal{P}=\{(a_{21}, \text{tr} \ A, \det A) : A=[a_{ij}]_{i,j=1}^2 \in \mathbb{B}^{2\times 2}\} \] where $\mathbb{B}^{2\times 2}$ denotes the open unit ball in the…
We study a problem of Jeong and Taniguchi asking to find all rational maps which are Ahlfors functions. We prove that the rational Ahlfors functions of degree two are characterized by having positive residues at their poles. We then show…
The fractional polylogarithms, depending on a complex parameter $\a$, are defined by a series which is analytic inside the unit disk. After an elementary conversion of the series into an integral presentation, we show that the fractional…
An attempt is described to extend the notion of Schur functions from Young diagrams to plane partitions. The suggestion is to use the recursion in the partition size, which is easily generalized and deformed. This opens a possibility to…
