We consider a proposal to define the wave function of the Universe as a sum over spacetimes that eventually inflate. In the minisuperspace model, we explicitly show that a simple family of initial conditions, parametrized by a positive real…
The sharp bound for the third Hankel determinant for the coefficients of the inverse function of starlike function of order $1/2$ is obtained. In light of this, we can deduce that the functionals $|H_3(1)(f)|$ and $|H_3(1)(f^{-1})|$ exhibit…
In this Letter we consider the problem of partial masslessness and unitarity in (A)dS using gauge invariant description of massive high spin particles. We show that for S = 2 and S = 3 cases such formalism allows one correctly reproduce all…
The zeta and eta-functions associated with massless and massive Dirac operators, in a D-dimensional (D odd or even) manifold without boundary, are rigorously constructed. Several mathematical subtleties involved in this process are…
Two multiplicative anomalies are evaluated for the determinant of the conformal higher spin propagating operator on spheres given by Tseytlin. One holds for the decomposition of the higher derivative product into its individual second order…
We derive new, explicit representations for the solution to the scalar wave equation in the exterior of a sphere, subject to either Dirichlet or Robin boundary conditions. Our formula leads to a stable and high-order numerical scheme that…
This paper considers a multivariate spatial random field, with each component having univariate marginal distributions of the skew-Gaussian type. We assume that the field is defined spatially on the unit sphere embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$,…
We obtain asymptotics of large Hankel determinants whose weight depends on a one-cut regular potential and any number of Fisher-Hartwig singularities. This generalises two results: 1) a result of Berestycki, Webb and Wong [5] for root-type…
In this paper we compute the spherical Fourier expansions coefficients for the restriction of the generalised Wendland functions from $d-$dimensional Euclidean space to the (d-1)-dimensional unit sphere. The development required to derive…
We propose a new interpretation of the BFSS large N matrix quantum mechanics analogous to a novel interpretation of the IKKT matrix model where infinitely large N matrices act as differential operators in a curved space. In this picture,…
We study the estimation of quadratic Sobolev-type integral functionals of an unknown density on the unit sphere. The functional is defined through fractional powers of the Laplace--Beltrami operator and provides a global measure of…
A new approach to multi-dimensional quantum scattering by the infinite order discrete variable representation is presented. Determining the expansion coefficients of the wave function at the asymptotic regions by the solution of the…
This paper presents a unified theory for the power of a point with respect to generalized spheres (spheres, horospheres, and hyperspheres) in $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbf{H}^n$. By extending the classical secant theorem, we…
The set B of geodesic rays avoiding a suitable obstacle in a complete negatively curved Riemannian manifold determines a spectrum S. While various properties of this spectrum are known, we define and study dimension functions on S in terms…
Spin-weighted spherical functions provide a useful tool for analyzing tensor-valued functions on the sphere. A tensor field can be decomposed into complex-valued functions by taking contractions with tangent vectors on the sphere and the…
Determining functionals are tools to describe the finite dimensional long-term dynamics of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. There also exist several applications to infinite dimensional {\em random} dynamical systems. In these…
We construct an explicit diffeomorphism taking any fibration of a sphere by great circles into the Hopf fibration, using elementary geometry--indeed the diffeomorphism is a local (differential) invariant, algebraic in derivatives.
A numerical expression in the form of an integral is given for the determinant of the scalar GJMS operator on an odd--dimensional sphere. Manipulation yields a curious sum formula for the logdet in terms of the logdets of the ordinary…
