For little q-Jacobi polynomials and q-Hahn polynomials we give particular q-hypergeometric series representations in which the termwise q=0 limit can be taken. When rewritten in matrix form, these series representations can be viewed as LU…

We study a natural measurable selection problem for which the standard uniformisation theorems do not seem to apply directly, yet a Borel selector exists. More precisely, we consider families of finite dimensional functions that admit…

We show that the hierarchical model at finite volume has a symmetry group which can be decomposed into rotations and translations as the familiar Poincar\'e groups. Using these symmetries, we show that the intricate sums appearing in the…

We prove a quantitative version of a result of Furstenberg and Deligne stating that the the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic is algebraic. As a consequence, we obtain…

In this paper, we study some basic analytic properties of the boundary term of Fesenko's two-dimensional zeta integrals. In the case of the rational number field, we show that this term is the Laplace transform of certain infinite series…

Employing two models, we show that various counting functions of a random variable defined by restriction or contraction of a ranked set with multiplicity (e.g., classical and arithmetic matroids) have expectations given by the…

Using detailed exact results on pair-correlation functions of Z-invariant Ising models, we can write and run algorithms of polynomial complexity to obtain wavevector-dependent susceptibilities for a variety of Ising systems. Reviewing…

A sequence $f_n(q)$ is $q$-holonomic if it satisfies a nontrivial linear recurrence with coefficients polynomials in $q$ and $q^n$. Our main theorems state that $q$-holonomicity is preserved under twisting, i.e., replacing $q$ by $\omega q$…

We consider the 2D critical Ising model with spatially periodic boundary conditions. It is shown that for a suitable reparametrization of the known Boltzmann weights the transfer matrix becomes a polynomial in the variable $\csc(4u)$, being…

In this note we study $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$-invariant functions such as modular graph functions or coefficient functions of higher derivative corrections in type IIB string theory. The functions solve inhomogeneous Laplace equations and we…

Consider the classical action of ${\rm GL}_n$ on a sum of $q$ copies of the defining representation and $p$ copies of its dual; by Howe duality, the polynomial functions on this space decompose under the joint action of ${\rm GL}_n$ and…

We give an explicit formula for the motivic zeta function in terms of a log smooth model. It generalizes the classical formulas for snc-models, but it gives rise to much fewer candidate poles, in general. As an illustration, we explain how…

Within the framework of mappings between affine spaces, the notion of $n$-th polarization of a function will lead to an intrinsic characterization of polynomial functions. We prove that the characteristic features of derivations, such as…

Partition functions, also known as homomorphism functions, form a rich family of graph invariants that contain combinatorial invariants such as the number of k-colourings or the number of independent sets of a graph and also the partition…

There are a number of fundamental results in the study of holomorphic function theory associated to the discrete group PSL(2,Z) including the following statements: The ring of holomorphic modular forms is generated by the holomorphic…

The decomposition of the tensor product of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of the Lie algebra su(1,1) is a direct integral over the principal unitary series representations. In the decomposition discrete terms can…

This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…

We study inhomogeneous $q$-Whittaker polynomials which extend both $q$-Whittaker and stable Grothendieck polynomials. We prove that inhomogeneous $q$-Whittaker polynomials (in countably many variables) form a basis of certain commutative…

We use high girth, high chromatic number hypergraphs to show that there are finite models of the equational theory of the semiring of nonnegative integers whose equational theory has no finite axiomatisation, and show this also holds if…

Exactly solvable two-dimensional polygon models, counted by perimeter and area, are described by $q$-algebraic functional equations. We provide techniques to extract the scaling behaviour of these models up to arbitrary order and apply them…
