There are two rather distinct approaches to Morse theory nowadays: smooth and discrete. We propose to study a real valued function by assembling all associated sections in a topological category. From this point of view, Reeb functions on…

We present a new formula for umbral operators that yields three main insights. First, it makes explicit a connection between umbral calculus and iteration theory. Second, it leads naturally to a definition of fractional exponents of umbral…

The necessity of computing integrals with complex weights over manifolds with a large number of dimensions, e.g., in some field theoretical settings, poses a problem for the use of Monte Carlo techniques. Here it is shown that very general…

We consider the problem of representation of a bivariate function by sums of ridge functions. We show that if a function of a certain smoothness class is represented by a sum of finitely many, arbitrarily behaved ridge functions, then it…

Closed form solutions for the computation of the solid angle from polygonal cross-sections are well known, however similar formulae for computation of projected solid angle are not generally available. Formulae for computing the projected…

Making use of nonabelian harmonic analysis and representation theory, we solve the functional equation $$f_1(xy)+f_2(yx)+f_3(xy^{-1})+f_4(y^{-1}x)=f_5(x)f_6(y)$$ on arbitrary compact groups. The structure of its general solution is…

We extend Schwarz' list of irreducible algebraic Gauss functions to the four classes of Appell-Lauricella functions in several variables and the 14 complete Horn functions in two variables. This gives an example of a family of functions…

This paper explores two generalizations of the classical Aubin-Lions Lemma. First we give a sufficient condition to commute weak limit and multiplication of two functions. We deduce from this criteria a compactness Theorem for degenerate…

Unitary representations of the fundamental group of a Kahler manifold correspond to polystable vector bundles (with vanishing Chern classes). Semisimple linear representations correspond to polystable Higgs bundles. In this paper we find…

We prove that an $n$-dimensional, $n\geq4$, compact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton satisfying a $L^{\frac n2}$-pinching condition is isometric to a quotient of the round $\mathbb{S}^n$, which improves the rigidity theorem given by G.…

This is a survey of the Deligne-Mostow theory of Lauricella functions, or what almost amounts to the same thing, of the period map for cyclic coverings of the Riemann sphere.

We aim to present two new generalized integral formulae involving product of generalized Struve function $\mathcal{W}_{p,b,c}\left( z\right)$, which are expressed in terms of the generalized Lauricella functions. The main results presented…

The coefficients occurring in summation formulae of the Lubbock type are shown to be generalised Bernoulli polynomials which turn up in subdivision questions such as quantum field theory around a conical singularity and on spherical lunes.…

We present a new combinatorial formula for Hall-Littlewood functions associated with the affine root system of type $\tilde A_{n-1}$, i.e. corresponding to the affine Lie algebra $\hat{\mathfrak{sl}}_n$. Our formula has the form of a sum…

In this paper we develop an algorithm for obtaining some new linear relations among the Lauricella $F_D$ functions. Relations we obtain, generalize those hinted in the work of B. C. Carlson. The coefficients of these relations are contained…

Let F(X,n):= X^n-\Delta be the complementary of the union \Delta of the diagonals of X^n and let U be a quotient of F(X,n) (possibly trivial) by a subgroup of the symmetric group S_n. We construct compactifications of U in products of…

In this paper, we prove some rigidity results for both shrinking and expanding Ricci solitons. First, we prove that compact shrinking Ricci solitons are Einstein if we control the maximum value of the potential function. Then, we prove some…

Cousin's lemma is a compactness principle that naturally arises when studying the gauge integral, a generalisation of the Lebesgue integral. We study the axiomatic strength of Cousin's lemma for various classes of functions, using Friedman…

We show that every gradient shrinking soliton of the generalized Ricci flow on compact manifold is a Ricci soliton. And we prove that the pluriclosed soliton is gradient Kahler-Ricci soliton under a broad cohomological condition. Moreover,…

Generalizations of the classical affine Lelieuvre formula to surfaces in projective three-dimensional space and to hypersurfaces in multi- dimensional projective space are given. A discrete version of the projective Lelieuvre formula is…
