We establish a new connection between local and large-scale structure in compactly generated totally disconnected locally compact (t.d.l.c.) groups $G$, finding a sufficient condition for $G$ to have more than one end in terms of its…

Assume that Y is a random variable whose moment generating function exists in a neighborhood of the origin. We study the probabilistic degenerate r-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with Y and the probabilistic degenerate…

We study finiteness properties, especially the noetherian property, the Krull dimension and a variation of finite presentation, in categories of polynomial functors from a small symmetric monoidal category whose unit is an initial object to…

In this paper, we give a description of a natural invariant measure associated with a finitely generated polynomial semigroup (which we shall call the Dinh--Sibony measure) in terms of potential theory. This requires the theory of…

We show that any free action of a connected Lie group of polynomial growth on a finite dimensional locally compact space has finite tube dimension. This is shown to imply that the associated crossed product C*-algebra has finite nuclear…

Positive definite functions of compact support are widely used for radial basis function approximation as well as for estimation of spatial processes in geostatistics. Several constructions of such functions for ${\mathbb R}^d$ are based…

The notion of a descent polynomial, a function in enumerative combinatorics that counts permutations with specific properties, enjoys a revived recent research interest due to its connection with other important notions in combinatorics,…

It is well-known that the existence of more than two ends in the sense of J.R. Stallings for a finitely generated discrete group $G$ can be detected on the cohomology group $\mathrm{H}^1(G,R[G])$, where $R$ is either a finite field, the…

In this paper, we prove that for a large class of growth-decay-fragmentation problems the solution semigroup is analytic and compact and thus has the Asynchronous Exponential Growth property.

In this article we raise some new questions about positive definite functions on free groups, and explain how these are related to more well-known questions. The article is intended as a survey of known results that also offers some new…

We show that, for positive definite kernels, if specific forms of regularity (continuity, Sn-differentiability or holomorphy) hold locally on the diagonal, then they must hold globally on the whole domain of positive-definiteness. This…

Planar functions are special functions from a finite field to itself that give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. We consider polynomials over a finite field $K$ that induce planar functions on infinitely many…

In the paper a theorem of Piccard's type is proved and, consequently, the continuity of $\mathcal{D}$-measurable polynomial functions of $n$-th order as well as $\mathcal{D}$-measurable $n$-convex functions is shown. The paper refers to the…

We give a new proof of Gromov's theorem that any finitely generated group of polynomial growth has a finite index nilpotent subgroup. Unlike the original proof, it does not rely on the Montgomery-Zippin-Yamabe structure theory of locally…

We study the mixed-integer epigraph of a special class of convex functions with non-convex indicator constraints, which are often used to impose logical constraints on the support of the solutions. The class of functions we consider are…

This paper has twofold. The first is to establish a second main theorem for meromorphic functions on the complex disc $\Delta (R_0)\subset\mathbb C$ with finite growth index and small functions, where the counting functions are truncated to…

Suppose $(M,g)$ is a Riemannian manifold having dimension $n$, nonnegative Ricci curvature, maximal volume growth and unique tangent cone at infinity. In this case, the tangent cone at infinity $C(X)$ is an Euclidean cone over the…

Let G be a compactly generated locally compact group and let $U$ be a compact generating set. We prove that if G has polynomial growth, then (U^n) is a Folner sequence: that is, the volume of the boundary of U^n divided by U^n goes to zero.…

In this paper we present a geometric proof of the following fact. Let $D$ be a Jordan domain in $\mathbb{C}$, and let $f$ be analytic on $cl(D)$. Then there is an injective analytic map $\phi:D\to\mathbb{C}$, and a polynomial $p$, such that…

Higher genus partition functions of two-dimensional conformal field theories have to be invariants under linear actions of mapping class groups. We illustrate recent results [4,6] on the construction of such invariants by concrete…
