Let $(E,\F,\mu)$ be a $\si$-finite measure space. For a non-negative symmetric measure $J(\d x, \d y):=J(x,y) \,\mu(\d x)\,\mu(\d y)$ on $E\times E,$ consider the quadratic form $$\E(f,f):= \frac{1}{2}\int_{E\times E} (f(x)-f(y))^2 \, J(\d…

We consider Hardy operators, i.e., homogeneous Schr\"odinger operators consisting of the ordinary or fractional Laplacian in a half-space plus a potential, which only depends on the appropriate power of the distance to the boundary of the…

We consider Khudaverdian's geometric version of a Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) operator \Delta_E in the case of a degenerate anti-Poisson manifold. The characteristic feature of such an operator (aside from being a Grassmann-odd, nilpotent,…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field with characteristic zero, and $\mathfrak{g}$ a Lie algebra. Let $Y(\mathfrak{g})$ be the subalgebra of the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})=K[\mathfrak{g}^*]$ made of the polynomials which are…

Based on the predictions of the relevant form factors from the covariant light-front quark model, we show the branching fractions for the $D (D_s) \to (P,\,S,\,V,\,A)\,\ell\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e$ or $\mu$) decays, where $P$ denotes the…

Sufficient conditions for the similarity of the operator $A := 1/r(x) (-d^2/dx^2 +q(x))$ with an indefinite weight $r(x)=(\sgn x)|r(x)|$ are obtained. These conditions are formulated in terms of Titchmarsh-Weyl $m$-coefficients. Sufficient…

If $T$ is a semibounded self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $(H, \, (\cdot , \cdot))$ then the closure of the sesquilinear form $(T \cdot , \cdot)$ is a unique Hilbert space completion. In the non-semibounded case a closure is a…
