In this paper, we study functions of the roots of a univariate polynomial in which the roots have a given multiplicity structure $\mu$. Traditionally, root functions are studied via the theory of symmetric polynomials; we extend this theory…

The aim of the present paper is to provide a global presentation of the theory of special Finsler manifolds. We introduce and investigate globally (or intrinsically, free from local coordinates) many of the most important and most commonly…

It is the Hilbert's Fourth Problem to characterize the (not-necessarily-reversible) distance functions on a bounded convex domain in R^n such that straight lines are shortest paths. Distance functions induced by a Finsler metric are…

The class of spherically symmetric Finsler metrics is studied and locally dually flat and projectively flat spherically symmetric Finsler metrics is classified.

In this paper, we show that the generalized hypergeometric function mF_m-1 has a one parameter group of local symmetries, which is a conjugation of a flow of a rational Calogero-Mozer system. We use the symmetry to construct fermionic…

Fino and Kath determined all possible holonomy groups of seven-dimensional pseu\-do-Rie\-man\-nian manifolds contained in the exceptional, non-compact, simple Lie group $\mathrm{G}_2^*$ via the corresponding Lie algebras. They are…

For a standard Finsler metric F on a manifold M, its domain is the whole tangent bundle TM and its fundamental tensor g is positive-definite. However, in many cases (for example, the well-known Kropina and Matsumoto metrics), these two…

Maps between manifolds $M^m\to N^{m+\ell}$ ($\ell>0$) have multiple points, and more generally, multisingularities. The closure of the set of points where the map has a particular multisingularity is called the multisingularity locus. There…

We prove the following localized version of a classical ellipsoid characterization: Let $B\subset\mathbb R^3$ be convex body with a smooth strictly convex boundary and 0 in the interior, and suppose that there is an open set of planes…

Let $f_n$ be a random polynomial of degree $n$ with i.i.d. mean-zero and finite variance random coefficients. It is well known that the roots of $f_n$ cluster uniformly around the unit circle as $n$ grows large. We give a simple and…

Finsler's Lemma charactrizes all pairs of symmetric $n \times n$ real matrices $A$ and $B$ which satisfy the property that $v^T A v>0$ for every nonzero $v \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that $v^T B v=0$. We extend this characterization to all…

We describe local mirror symmetry from a mathematical point of view and make several A-model calculations using the mirror principle (localization). Our results agree with B-model computations from solutions of Picard-Fuchs differential…

The Fourier coefficients of a smooth $K$-invariant function on a compact symmetric space $M=U/K$ are given by integration of the function against the spherical functions. For functions with support in a neighborhood of the origin, we…

A statistical manifold $\left(M,D,g\right)$ is a manifold $M$ endowed with a torsion-free connection $D$ and a Riemannian metric $g$ such that the tensor $D g$ is totally symmetric. If $D$ is flat then $\left(M,g,D\right)$ is a Hessian…

The basin of infinity of a polynomial map $f : {\bf C} \arrow {\bf C}$ carries a natural foliation and a flat metric with singularities, making it into a metrized Riemann surface $X(f)$. As $f$ diverges in the moduli space of polynomials,…

A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M, equipped with an additional tensor structure S, whose fourth power is minus identity, is considered. The structure S has a skew-circulant matrix with respect to some basis of the tangent space at a…

For a rank 1 local system on the complement of a reduced divisor on a complex manifold $X$, its cohomology is calculated by the twisted meromorphic de Rham complex. Assuming the divisor is everywhere positively weighted homogeneous, we…

Generalized Berwald manifolds are Finsler manifolds admitting linear connections such that the parallel transports preserve the Finslerian length of tangent vectors. By the fundamental result of the theory \cite{V5} such a linear connection…

A Clifford-Wolf translation of a connected Finsler space is an isometry which moves each point the sam distance. A Finsler space $(M, F)$ is called Clifford-Wolf homogeneous if for any two point $x_1, x_2\in M$ there is a Clifford-Wolf…

We study invariant metrics on Ledger-Obata spaces $F^m/\mathrm{diag}(F)$. We give the classification and an explicit construction of all naturally reductive metrics, and also show that in the case $m=3$, any invariant metric is naturally…
