Classes of multivariate and cone valued infinitely divisible Gamma distributions are introduced. Particular emphasis is put on the cone-valued case, due to the relevance of infinitely divisible distributions on the positive semi-definite…

Let $\mu_n$ be a sequence of discrete measures on the unit $\ZT=\ZR/\ZZ$ with $\mu_n(0)=0$, and $\mu_n((-\delta,\delta))\to 1$, as $n\to\infty$. We prove that the sequence of convolution operators $(f\ast\mu_n)(x)$ is strong sweeping out,…

Fock and Goncharov conjectured that the indecomposable universally positive (i.e., atomic) elements of a cluster algebra should form a basis for the algebra. This was shown to be false by Lee-Li-Zelevinsky. However, we find that the theta…

Let $\mathcal{A}_0$ and $\mathcal{A}_1$ be two self-adjoint Fredholm Dirac-type operators defined on two non-compact manifolds. If they coincide at infinity so that the relative heat operator is trace-class, one can define their relative…

A bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is posinormal if there exists a positive operator $P$ such that $AA^{*} = A^{*}PA$. We show that if $A$ is posinormal with closed range, then $A^n$ is posinormal and has closed…

In this paper, we investigate the sums of mutliple zeta(-star) values of height one: $Z_{\pm}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta(\{1\}^a,b+2)$, $Z_{\pm}^{\star}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta^{\star}(\{1\}^a,b+2)$. In particular, we prove that…

We investigate the distribution of positive and negative values of Hardy's function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\chi(1/2+it)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s). $$ In particular we prove that $$ \mu\bigl(I_{+}(T,T)\bigr) \;\gg T\;…

We extend the theory of matrix weights to the variable Lebesgue spaces. The theory of matrix $\mathcal{A}_p$ weights has attracted considerable attention beginning with the work of Nazarov, Treil, and Volberg in the 1990s. We extend this…

We introduce and study the notion of k-divisible elements in a non-commutative probability space. A k-divisible element is a (non-commutative) random variable whose n-th moment vanishes whenever n is not a multiple of k. First, we consider…

In [4] we developed the theory of positive cones on finite-dimensional simple algebras with involution, inspired by the classical Artin-Schreier theory of orderings on fields, and based on the notion of signatures of hermitian forms [1]. In…

In this note, it is proved the existence of an infinitely generated multiplicative group consisting of entire functions that are, except for the constant function 1, hypercyclic with respect to the convolution operator associated to a given…

We study the total positivity of the multiplicative convolution kernel T associated with the independent product of two random variables $B(a,b)$ and $\Gamma(c).$ This kernel is totally positive of infinite order if $b$ or $d = a+b -c$ are…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…

Consider $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\beta \in (1, m + 1]$. Assume that $a\in \mathbb{R}$ can be represented in base $\beta$ using a development in series $a = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 1}x(n)\beta^{-n}$ where the sequence $x = (x(n))_{n \in…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finit continued fraction with all partial quotients being bounded by an absolute constant A. Recently (in 2011)…

In this paper we study some analytic properties of bi-free additive convolution, both scalar and operator-valued. We show that using properties of Voiculescu's subordination functions associated to free additive convolution of…

Several numerical evaluations of the density and distribution of convolution of independent gamma variables are compared in their accuracy and speed. In application to renewal processes, an efficient formula is derived for the probability…

Empirical evidence suggests that heavy-tailed degree distributions occurring in many real networks are well-approximated by power laws with exponents $\eta$ that may take values either less than and greater than two. Models based on various…

Let $T$ be an absolutely continuous polynomially bounded operator, and let $\theta$ be a singular inner function. It is shown that if $\theta(T)$ is invertible and some additional conditions are fulfilled, then $T$ has nontrivial…

The angular distributions of the unpolarised differential cross section and tensor analysing power $A_{xx}$ of the $\vec{d}d\to\alpha \eta$ reaction have been measured at an excess energy of 16.6 MeV. The ambiguities in the partial-wave…
