The idea of this review article is to discuss in a unified way the orthogonality of all positive definite polynomial solutions of the $q$-hypergeometric difference equation on the $q$-linear lattice by means of a qualitative analysis of the…

The aim of this paper is the study of $q^{-1}$-Fibonacci polynomials with $0<q<1$. First, the $q^{-1}$-Fibonacci polynomials are related to a $q$-exponential function which allows an asymptotic analysis to be worked out. Second, related…

We study, in this paper, a one parameter deformation of the $q-$Laguerre weight function. An investigation is made on the polynomials orthogonal with respect to such a weight. With the aid of the two compatibility conditions previously…

In recent work of the authors the notion of a derivation being approximately semi-inner arose as a tool for investigating (approximate) amenability questions for Banach algebras. Here we investigate this property in its own right, together…

The low energy expansion of Type II superstring amplitudes at genus one is organized in terms of modular graph functions associated with Feynman graphs of a conformal scalar field on the torus. In earlier work, surprising identities between…

We consider a $(q,y)$-analogue of Laguerre polynomials $L^{(\alpha)}_n(x;y;q)$ for integral $\alpha\geq -1$, which turns out to be a rescaled version of Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials. A combinatorial interpretation for the $(q,y)$-Laguerre…

We give a remarkable additional orthogonality property of the classical Legendre polynomials on the real interval $[-1,1]$: polynomials up to degree $n$ from this family are mutually orthogonal under the arcsine measure weighted by the…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. We show that its Fourier algebra $A(G)$ is amenable if and only if $G$ has an abelian subgroup of finite index, and that its Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ is amenable if and only if $G$ has a compact,…

In this paper, we study compatible Leibniz algebras. We characterize compatible Leibniz algebras in terms of Maurer-Cartan elements of a suitable differential graded Lie algebra. We define a cohomology theory of compatible Leibniz algebras…

Two sets of mutually commuting $q-$difference operators $x_i$ and $y_j$, $i,j=1, ...,N$ such that $x_i$ and $y_i$ generate a homomorphic image of the $q-$Onsager algebra for each $i$ are introduced. The common polynomial eigenfunctions of…

Let $L^1_\om(G)$ be a Beurling algebra on a locally compact abelian group $G$. We look for general conditions on the weight which allows the vanishing of continuous derivations of $L^1_\om(G)$. This leads us to introducing vector-valued…

Let $A_g$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$ and $p$-rank $\lambda \leq 1$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We compute the number of homomorphisms from $\pi_1^{\text{\'et}}(A_g,a)$ to $GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$,…

Small representations of a group bring us to large symmetries in a representation space. Analysis on minimal representations utilises large symmetries in their geometric models, and serves as a driving force in creating new interesting…

We expand the Chebyshev polynomials and some of its linear combination in linear combinations of the q-Hermite, the Rogers (q-utraspherical) and the Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials and vice versa. We use these expansions to obtain expansions…

We estimate mixed character sums of polynomial values over elements of a finite field $\mathbb F_{q^r}$ with sparse representations in a fixed ordered basis over the subfield $\mathbb F_q$. First we use a combination of the…

New notion of weak amenability, $(\varphi,\psi)$-weak amenability recently introduced. In this paper we consider this new notion and study $(\varphi,\psi)$-weak amenability of group algebras $M(G)$, $L^1(G)$ and $S^1(G)$.

Thin Lie algebras are Lie algebras L, graded over the positive integers, with all homogeneous components of dimension at most two, and satisfying a more stringent but natural narrowness condition modeled on an analogous one for pro-p…

Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…

In this paper, we study the weak amenability of weighted measure algebras and prove that $M(G, \omega)$ is weakly amenable if and only if $G$ is discrete and every bounded quasi-additive function is inner. We also study the weak amenability…
