It is shown that the functional determinant ($\sim$ effective action) for a scalar field propagating on the mixed signature product of unit spheres, S$^q\times$S$^p$, according to the GJMS operator, depends, if $d$ is odd, only on $d=p+q$…
We study the halo mass function (HMF) in modified gravity (MG) models using a set of large $N$-body simulations -- the ELEPHANT suite. We consider two popular beyond-general relativity scenarios: the Hu-Sawicki chameleon $f(R)$ model and…
Using known mode properties, the functional determinant for massless spin-half fields on the Euclidean 4-ball is calculated and shown to be different for spectral (nonlocal) and mixed (local) boundary conditions. The local result agrees…
The annihilation of massive scalar particles in one photon on de Sitter expanding universe is studied, using perturbation theory. The amplitude and probability corresponding to this process is computed using the exact solutions of the…
Summations and relations involving the Hurwitz and Riemann zeta-functions are extended first to Barnes zeta-functions and then to zeta-functions of general type. The analysis is motivated by the evaluation of determinants on spheres which…
A connection between fractional calculus and statistical distribution theory has been established by the authors recently. Some extensions of the results to matrix-variate functions were also considered. In the present article, more results…
We consider the problem of interpolating a function given on scattered points using Hermite-Birkhoff formulas on the sphere and other manifolds. We express each proposed interpolant as a linear combination of basis functions, the…
We study the dimension spectrum for Lyapunov exponents for rational maps acting on the Riemann sphere and characterize it by means of the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the hidden variational pressure. This pressure is defined by means of…
The inner structure of the {\gamma}{\epsilon}-formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden admits the occurrence of spin-tensor electromagnetic fields which bear invariance under the action of the generalized Weyl gauge group. A concise…
A simplified direct method is described for obtaining massless scalar functional determinants on the Euclidean ball. The case of odd dimensions is explicitly discussed.
We study semantic and syntactic properties of spherical orders and their elementary theories, including finite and dense orders and their theories. It is shown that theories of dense $n$-spherical orders are countably categorical and…
Two theorems involving curl eigenfields on the 3--sphere are obtained using angular momentum theory. Spinor hyperspherical harmonics are shown to form an explicit, convenient basis. In particular, a spin--one vector calculus is reviewed. An…
The fundamental measure density functional theory for hard spheres is generalized to binary mixtures of arbitrary positive and moderate negative non-additivity between unlike components. In bulk the theory predicts fluid-fluid phase…
We consider the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction of the universe defined as a Euclidean path integral that satisfies the "no-boundary proposal." We focus on the simplest minisuperspace model that comprises a single scale factor degree of freedom…
The main purpose of this paper is to compute all irreducible spherical functions on $G={SL}(2,{\mathbb C})$ of arbitrary type $\delta\in \hat K$, where $K={SU}(2)$. This is accomplished by associating to a spherical function $\Phi$ on $G$ a…
The new manifestation of conformal invariance for a massless scalar particle in a Riemannian spacetime of general relativity is found. Conformal transformations conserve the Hamiltonian and wave function in the Foldy-Wouthuysen…
Positive definite functions are very important in both theory and applications of approximation theory, probability and statistics. In particular, identifying strictly positive definite kernels is of great interest as interpolation problems…
A multivariable version of the strong maximal function is introduced and a sharp distributional estimate for this operator in the spirit of the Jessen, Marcinkiewicz, and Zygmund theorem is obtained. Conditions that characterize the…
The integral of a function $f$ defined on a symmetric space $M \simeq G/K$ may be expressed in the form of a determinant (or Pfaffian), when $f$ is $K$-invariant and, in a certain sense, a tensor power of a positive function of a single…
We show that isotropic positive definite functions on the $d$-dimensional sphere which are $2k$ times differentiable at zero have $2k+[(d-1)/2]$ continuous derivatives on $(0,\pi)$. This result is analogous to the result for radial positive…
