We study positive definiteness of kernels $K(x,y)$ on two-point homogeneous spaces. As opposed to the classical case, which has been developed and studied in the existing literature, we allow the kernel to have an (integrable) singularity…
The positive definiteness of real quadratic forms with convolution structures plays an important role in stability analysis for time-stepping schemes for nonlocal operators.In this work, we present a novel analysis tool to handle discrete…
We study positive definite kernels pulled back along a finite family of self-maps under a subinvariance inequality for the associated branching operator. Iteration produces an increasing kernel tower with defect kernels. Under diagonal…
The theory of positive kernels and associated reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, especially in the setting of holomorphic functions, has been an important tool for the last several decades in a number of areas of complex analysis and…
We consider a kernel based harmonic analysis of "boundary," and boundary representations. Our setting is general: certain classes of positive definite kernels. Our theorems extend (and are motivated by) results and notions from classical…
The author was recently able to provide a cohomological interpretation of Tate's Riemann-Roch formula for number fields using some new harmonic analysis objects, ghost-spaces. When trying to investigate these objects in general, we realized…
We describe a flexible construction that produces triples of finitely generated, residually finite groups $M\hookrightarrow P \hookrightarrow \Gamma$, where the maps induce isomorphisms of profinite completions…
The purpose of this article is to study Lipschitz CR mappings from an $h$-extendible (or semi-regular) hypersurface in $\mbb C^n$. Under various assumptions on the target hypersurface, it is shown that such mappings must be smooth. A…
We establish a positivity property for a class of semilinear elliptic problems involving indefinite sublinear nonlinearities. Namely, we show that any nontrivial nonnegative solution is positive for a class of problems the strong maximum…
A class of negative definite kernels is defined in terms of measure spaces. Using this concept, property (T) for a countable group $\G$ is characterized in terms of measure preserving actions of $\G$, as follows. If a set $S$ is translated…
The seminal theorem of I.J. Schoenberg characterizes positive definite (p.d.) kernels on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$ invariant under the automorphisms of the sphere. We obtain two generalizations of this theorem for p.d. kernels on fiber…
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…
In this paper we propose two guiding principles that suggest a number of conjectures (some now proved) about various forms of rigidity for moduli spaces arising in algebraic geometry. Such conjectures have group-theoretic, topological and…
Differentially positive systems are the nonlinear systems whose linearization along trajectories preserves a cone field on a smooth Riemannian manifold. One of the embryonic forms for cone fields in reality is originated from the general…
We establish general sufficient conditions for exact (and global) regularity in the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem on $(p,q)$-forms, $0 \leq p \leq n$ and $1\leq q \leq n$, on a pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary $b\Omega$ in…
In this monograph, we give an account of the relationship between the algebraic structure of finitely generated and countable groups and the regularity with which they act on manifolds. We concentrate on the case of one--dimensional…
Given a functional for a one-dimensional physical system, a classical problem is to minimize it by finding stationary solutions and then checking the positive definiteness of the second variation. Establishing the positive definiteness is,…
This survey is an introduction to positive definite kernels and the set of methods they have inspired in the machine learning literature, namely kernel methods. We first discuss some properties of positive definite kernels as well as…
If $G$ is a compact group, continuous normalized positive definite functions are in one-to-one correspondence with unital quantum channels acting as Fourier multipliers on the group von Neumann algebra $\mathrm{VN}(G)$. We study the convex…
We develop a framework for function classes generated by parametric ridge kernels: one-dimensional kernels composed with affine projections and averaged over a parameter measure. The induced kernels are positive definite, and the resulting…
