Convolution admits a natural formulation as a functional operation on matrices. Motivated by the functional and entrywise calculi, this leads to a framework in which convolution defines a matrix transform that preserves positivity. Within…

Let $\mu$ be a compactly supported probability measure on the real line. Bercovici-Voiculescu and Nica-Speicher proved the existence of a free convolution power $\mu^{\boxplus k}$ for any real $k \geq 1$. The purpose of this short note is…

We introduce the notion of a conditionally free product and conditionally free convolution. We describe this convolution both from a combinatorial point of view, by showing its connection with the lattice of non-crossing partitions, and…

The Dirichlet series associated to the eta-product $\eta(7\tau)^7/\eta(\tau)$ decomposes uniquely into the difference of two L-functions with Euler products. This expression gives a new proof of the positivity of the Fourier coefficients of…

In probability theory, there exist discrete and continuous distributions. Generally speaking, we do not have sufficient kinds and properties of discrete ones compared to the continuous ones. In this paper, we treat the Riemann zeta…

We obtain formulas for the coefficients of positive and negative powers of a partial theta function.

In this work we study positivity preservers $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ with constant coefficients and define their generators $A$ if they exist, i.e., $\exp(A) = T$. We use the theory of regular Fr\'echet Lie…

Let $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ be the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ over a $W^{*}$-algebra $M$. In earlier work, we showed that the completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$, whose restrictions to $M$ are…

Two hypotheses on the class $\mathcal{L}(\gamma)$ in the class $\mathcal{OS}\cap \mathcal{ID}$ are discussed. Two weak hypotheses on the class $\mathcal{L}(\gamma)$ in the class $\mathcal{OS}\cap \mathcal{ID}$ are proved. A necessary and…

Let $Z_\al$ be a positive $\alpha$-stable random variable and $T_\al=(Z_\al/\tilde Z_\al)^\al,$ with independents components in the quotient. It is known that $T_\al$ is distributed as the positive branch of a Cauchy random variable with…

Using simultaneously two operator identities, we consider the inversion of the convolution operators on a rectangular. The structure of the inverse operators and of some corresponding forms, which are important in signal processing, is…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, and let $A(t)$ be the natural density of the set of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\sigma(n)/n \ge t$. We give an improved asymptotic result for $\log A(t)$ as $t$ grows…

We introduce and study "elliptic zeta values", a two-parameter deformation of the values of Riemann's zeta function at positive integers. They are essentially Taylor coefficients of the logarithm of the elliptic gamma function, and share…

It is known that there is a difficulty in constructing the ultrapower of unbounded operators. Krupa and Zawisza gave a rigorous definition of the ultrapower A^{omega} of a selfadjoint operator A. In this note, we give alternative…

Consider $\beta > 1$ and $\lfloor \beta \rfloor$ its integer part. It is widely known that any real number $\alpha \in \Bigl[0, \frac{\lfloor \beta \rfloor}{\beta - 1}\Bigr]$ can be represented in base $\beta$ using a development in series…

We consider the notions of operator-valued infinitesimal (OVI) free independence, OVI Boolean independence, and OVI monotone independence. For each notion of OVI independence, we introduce the corresponding infinitesimal transforms, and…

In this work we consider the $\eta$-invariant for pseudodifferential operators of tensor product type, also called bisingular pseudodifferential operators. We study complex powers of classical bisingular operators. We prove the trace…

We derive some Positivstellensatz\"e for noncommutative rational expressions from the Positivstellensatz\"e for noncommutative polynomials. Specifically, we show that if a noncommutative rational expression is positive on a polynomially…

Andrews' $(k, i)$-singular overpartition function $\overline{C}_{k, i}(n)$ counts the number of overpartitions of $n$ in which no part is divisible by $k$ and only parts $\equiv \pm i\pmod{k}$ may be overlined. In recent times, divisibility…

We establish the condition $(\Omega)$ for smooth kernels of various types of convolution and differential operators. By the $(DN)$-$(\Omega)$ splitting theorem of Vogt and Wagner, this implies that these operators are surjective on the…
