We give explicit formulas for the intertwinors on the scalar functions over the product of spheres with the natural pseudo-Riemannian product metric using the spectrum generating technique. As a consequence, this provides another proof of…

In this paper we revisit some facts about thin interpolating sequences in the unit disc from three perspectives: uniform algebras, model spaces, and $H^p$ spaces. We extend the notion of asymptotic interpolation to $H^p$ spaces, for $1 \leq…

For exponents in the subcritical range, we revisit some optimal interpolation inequalities on the sphere with carr\'e du champ methods and use the remainder terms to produce improved inequalities. The method provides us with lower estimates…

An explicit series solution is proposed for the inversion of the spherical mean Radon transform. Such an inversion is required in problems of thermo- and photo- acoustic tomography. Closed-form inversion formulae are currently known only…

We describe a new relation between the topology of hypersurface complements, Milnor fibers and degree of gradient mappings. In particular we show that any projective hypersurface has affine parts which are bouquets of spheres. The main…
