This is a brief overview of the index hypergeometric transform (other terms for this integral operator are: Olevskii transform, Jacobi transform, generalized Mehler--Fock transform). We discuss applications of this transform to special…
This PhD dissertation is concerned with integral geometric inverse problems. The geodesic ray transform is an operator that encodes the line integrals of a function along geodesics. The dissertation establishes many conditions when such…
Motivated by notions from coding theory, we study the generalized minimum distance (GMD) function $\delta_I(d,r)$ of a graded ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over an arbitrary field using commutative algebraic methods. It is shown that…
Nonlinear analysis has played a prominent role in the recent developments in geometry and topology. The study of the Yang-Mills equation and its cousins gave rise to the Donaldson invariants and more recently, the Seiberg-Witten invariants.…
The umbral restyling of hypergeometric functions is shown to be a useful and efficient approach in simplifying the associated computational technicalities. In this article, the authors provide a general introduction to the umbral version of…
The paper is a survey of recent results in analysis of additive functions over function fields motivated by applications to various classes of special functions including Thakur's hypergeometric function. We consider basic notions and…
Using the existence of infinite numbers $k$ in the non-Archimedean ring of Robinson-Colombeau, we define the hyperfinite Fourier transform (HFT) by considering integration extended to $[-k,k]^{n}$ instead of $(-\infty,\infty)^{n}$. In order…
Attention is given to the interface of mathematics and physics, specifically noting that fundamental principles limit the usefulness of otherwise perfectly good mathematical general integral solutions. A new set of multivector solutions to…
The broad debate on foundational issues in quantum mechanics, which took place at the famous 1957 Chapel Hill conference on \textit{The Role of Gravitation in Physics}, is here critically analyzed with an emphasis on Richard Feynman's…
Reduction formulas for sums of products of hypergeometric functions can be traced back to Euler. This topic has an intimate connection to summation and transformation formulas, contiguous relations and algebraic properties of the…

One of the important ways development takes place in mathematics is via a process of generalization. On the basis of a recent characterization of this process we propose a principle that generalizations of mathematical structures that are…
We continue the study of the Hrushovski-Kazhdan integration theory and consider exponential integrals. The Grothendieck ring is enlarged via a tautological additive character and hence can receive such integrals. We then define the Fourier…
The lecture delivered at the \emph{Current Developments in Mathematics} conference (Harvard-MIT, 2021) focused on the recent proof of the Gaussian structure of the scaling limits of the critical Ising and $\varphi^4$ fields in the marginal…
Hypergeometric functions of complex matrices were introduced by James in multivariate statistics. These special functions play many roles in random matrix theory. The main goal of this paper is to suggest a new use for them as holomorphic…
The aim of this paper (Part III) is formulating GR as a scalar field theory. The basic structural elements of it are a generating function, a generalized density and a generalized temperature. One of the axioms of this theory is a…
Geometric algebra is a powerful framework that unifies mathematics and physics. Since its revival in the middle of the 1960s by David Hestenes, it attracts great attention and has been exploited in many fields such as physics, computer…
HYPERDIRE is a project devoted to the creation of a set of Mathematica based programs for the differential reduction of hypergeometric functions. The current version includes two parts: the first one, FdFunction, for manipulations with…
As 2005, the International Year of Physics, comes to an end, two physicists working primarily in geophysical research reflect on how geophysics is not an applied physics. Although geophysics has certainly benefited from progress in physics…
These lecture notes provide a self-contained introduction to Euler integrals, which are frequently encountered in applications. In particle physics, they arise as Feynman integrals or string amplitudes. Our four selected topics demonstrate…
