We prove that any isotropic positive definite function on the sphere can be written as the spherical self-convolution of an isotropic real-valued function. It is known that isotropic positive definite functions on d-dimensional Euclidean…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…

Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…

In this note we give a recursive formula for the derivatives of isotropic positive definite functions on the Hilbert sphere. We then use it to prove a conjecture stated by Tr\"ubner and Ziegel, which says that for a positive definite…

We provide walks through dimensions for isotropic positive definite functions defined over complex spheres. We show that the analogues of Mont\'ee and Descente operators as proposed by Beatson and zu Castell [J. Approx. Theory 221 (2017),…

We show that the even- resp. odd-dimensional Schoenberg coefficients in Gegenbauer expansions of isotropic positive definite functions on the d-sphere can be expressed as linear combinations of Fourier resp. Legendre coefficients, and we…

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…

We construct non-trivial continuous isospectral deformations of Riemannian metrics on the ball and on the sphere in $\R^n$ for every $n\geq 9$. The metrics on the sphere can be chosen arbitrarily close to the round metric; in particular,…

In 1942 I. J. Schoenberg proved that a function is positive definite in the unit sphere if and only if this function is a positive linear combination of the Gegenbauer polynomials. In this paper we extend Schoenberg's theorem for…

We present, among other things, a necessary and sufficient condition for the strict positive definiteness of an isotropic and positive definite kernel on the cartesian product of a circle and a higher dimensional sphere. The result…

We prove that the discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated with Euclidean spheres with small radii has dimension-free estimates on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ for $p\in[2,\infty).$ This implies an analogous result for the Euclidean…

A result is proved concerning meromorphic functions of finite order in the plane such that all but finitely many zeros of the second derivative are zeros of the first derivative.

It is shown that the integrals of the Jacobi polynomials \begin{equation*}%\label{eq:Fn^J} \int_0^t (t-\theta)^\delta P_n^{(\alpha-\frac12,\beta-\frac12)}(\cos \theta) \left(\sin \tfrac{\theta}2\right)^{2 \alpha} \left(\cos…

We present a characterization for the continuous, isotropic and positive definite kernels on a product of spheres along the lines of a classical result of I. J. Schoenberg on positive definiteness on a single sphere. We also discuss a few…

Recurrences for positive definite functions in terms of the space dimension have been used in several fields of applications. Such recurrences typically relate to properties of the system of special functions characterizing the geometry of…

The scalar functional determinants on sectors of the two-dimensional disc and spherical cap are determined for arbitrary angles (rational factors of $\pi$). The wholesphere and hemisphere expressions are also given, in low dimensions, for…

In this paper we consider Positive Definite functions on products $\Omega_{2q}\times\Omega_{2p}$ of complex spheres, and we obtain a condition, in terms of the coefficients in their disc polynomial expansions, which is necessary and…

In this paper we show that the real differential of any injective slice regular function is everywhere invertible. The result is a generalization of a theorem proved by G. Gentili, S. Salamon and C. Stoppato, and it is obtained thanks, in…

We consider the class $\Psi_d$ of continuous functions $\psi \colon [0,\pi] \to \mathbb{R}$, with $\psi(0)=1$ such that the associated isotropic kernel $C(\xi,\eta)= \psi(\theta(\xi,\eta))$ ---with $\xi,\eta \in \mathbb{S}^d$ and $\theta$…

Let $d,k$ be positive integers. We call generalized spaces the cartesian product of the $d$-dimensional sphere, $\mathbb{S}^d$, with the $k$-dimensional Euclidean space, $\mathbb{R}^k$. We consider the class ${\mathcal P}(\mathbb{S}^d…
