We investigate the properties of some recently developed variable-order differential operators involving order transition functions of exponential type. Since the characterisation of such operators is performed in the Laplace domain it is…
The multiparameter quantum Pfaffian of the $(p, \lambda)$-quantum group is introduced and studied together with the quantum determinant, and an identity relating the two invariants is given. Generalization to the multiparameter…

Various aspects of q-differential equations are examined in the contexts of quantum groups and spaces, differential calculi, zero curvature, and Lax-Sato hierarchies. There are many explicit formulas and examples along with some survey…
Fractional calculus is a generalization of classical theories of integration and differentiation to arbitrary order (i.e., real or complex numbers). In the last two decades, this new mathematical modeling approach has been widely used to…
Nonlocal vector calculus, which is based on the nonlocal forms of gradient, divergence, and Laplace operators in multiple dimensions, has shown promising applications in fields such as hydrology, mechanics, and image processing. In this…
We study a class of perturbative scalar quantum field theories where dynamics is characterized by Lorentz-invariant or Lorentz-breaking non-local operators of fractional order and the underlying spacetime has a varying spectral dimension.…
This book intends to deepen the study of the fractional calculus, giving special emphasis to variable-order operators. It is organized in two parts, as follows. In the first part, we review the basic concepts of fractional calculus (Chapter…
In this note we present some of the most basic aspects of the fractional Laplacean with a self-contained and purely didactic intent, and with a somewhat different slant from the several excellent existing references. Given the interest that…
Many different types of fractional calculus have been defined, which may be categorised into broad classes according to their properties and behaviours. Two types that have been much studied in the literature are the Hadamard-type…
We review some recent results on eigenvalues of fractional Laplacians and fractional Schr\"odinger operators. We discuss, in particular, Lieb-Thirring inequalities and their generalizations, as well as semi-classical asymptotics.
I describe a possible perspective on the current state of loop quantum gravity, at the light of the developments of the last years. I point out that a theory is now available, having a well-defined background-independent kinematics and a…
The purpose of this article is to initiate a study of a class of Lorentz invariant, yet tractable, Lagrangian Field Theories which may be viewed as an extension of the Klein-Gordon Lagrangian to many scalar fields in a novel manner. These…
In this PhD thesis, we deal with problems related to nonlocal operators, in particular to the fractional Laplacian and to some other types of fractional derivatives (the Caputo and the Marchaud derivatives). We make an extensive…
Explicit general constructions of paragrassmann calculus with one and many variables are given. Relations of the paragrassmann calculus to quantum groups are outlined and possible physics applications are briefly discussed. This paper is…
Many possible definitions have been proposed for fractional derivatives and integrals, starting from the classical Riemann-Liouville formula and its generalisations and modifying it by replacing the power function kernel with other kernel…
The area of fractional calculus (FC) has been fast developing and is presently being applied in all scientific fields. Therefore, it is of key relevance to assess the present state of development and to foresee, if possible, the future…
We consider the fractional powers of singular (point-like) perturbations of the Laplacian, and the singular perturbations of fractional powers of the Laplacian, and we compare such two constructions focusing on their perturbative structure…
We calculate the fractional Laplacian for functions of the form $u(x)=(1-|x|^2)_+^p$ and $v(x)=x_d u(x)$. As an application, we estimate the first eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian in a ball.
In this note, we study the connection between the fractional Laplacian operator that appeared in the recent work of Caffarelli-Silvestre and a class of conformally covariant operators in conformal geometry.
