The effect coming from imaginary parts of effective couplings in the $e^+ e^-$ asymmetries is investigated. It is shown that for the present level of experimental accuracy, in some asymmetries the imaginary parts of the effective couplings…

If $G$ is a finite classical group, linear or unitary in any characteristic, and orthogonal in odd characteristic, we give an approximate formula for $\chi(g)$ in which the error term is much smaller than the estimate, when $g\in G$ is an…

Let G be a second countable, locally compact group and let f be a continuous Herz-Schur multiplier on G. Our main result gives the existence of a (not necessarily uniformly bounded) strongly continuous representation on a Hilbert space,…

We add to the literature the following observation. If $\mu$ is a singular measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$ which assigns measure zero to every porous set and $f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a Lipschitz function which is…

The Birkhoff--Kakutani Theorem asserts that a topological group is metrizable if and only if it has countable character. We develop and apply tools for the estimation of the character for a wide class of nonmetrizable topological groups. We…

The ratio of Laplace transforms of powers of a function arises in the context of auction theory. The question whether a function is uniquely identified by this ratio has been answered affirmatively, if the function is non-negative,…

A recent refinement of Ker\'ekj\'art\'o's Theorem has shown that in $\mathbb R$ and $\mathbb R^2$ all $\mathcal C^l$-solutions of the functional equation $f^n =\textrm{Id}$ are $\mathcal C^l$-linearizable, where $l\in \{0,1,\dots \infty\}$.…

We consider the fragment F of first order arithmetic in which quantification is restricted to ''for all but finitely many.'' We show that the integers form an F-elementary substructure of the real numbers. Consequently, the F-theory of…

A remarkable theorem of Besicovitch is that an integrable function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is strongly differentiable if and only if its associated strong maximal function $M_S f$ is finite a.e. We provide an analogue of Besicovitch's result…

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of points of a finite-dimensional projective space over a local field $F$, endowed with the topology $\tau$ naturally induced from the canonical topology of $F$. Intuitively, continuous incidence abelian group…

We study the following question: if $f$ is a nonzero measurable function on $[0,\infty)$ and $m$ and $n$ distinct nonnegative integers, does the ratio $\widehat{f^n}/\widehat{f^m}$ of the Laplace transforms of the powers $f^n$ and $f^m$ of…

Given an $n$-ary $k-$valued function $f$, $gap(f)$ denotes the minimal number of essential variables in $f$ which become fictive when identifying any two distinct essential variables in $f$. We particularly solve a problem concerning the…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian topological group. For locally bounded measurable functions $\varphi: G\to\Bbb {C}$ we discuss notions of spectra for $\varphi$ relative to subalgebras of $L^{1}(G)$. In particular we study polynomials…

The aim of the article is to provide a characterization of the Haagerup property for locally compact, second countable groups in terms of actions on $\sigma$-finite measure spaces. It is inspired by the very first definition of amenability,…

The main purpose of this paper is to give characterization theorems on derivations as well as on linear functions. Among others the following problem will be investigated: Let $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, $f, g\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be…

We say that a finite factor $f$ of a word $w$ is \emph{imaged} if there exists a non-erasing morphism $m$, distinct from the identity, such that $w$ contains $m(f)$. We show that every infinite word contains an imaged factor of length at…

Probabilistic independence can dramatically simplify the task of eliciting, representing, and computing with probabilities in large domains. A key technique in achieving these benefits is the idea of graphical modeling. We survey existing…

Let $G$ be a Lie group acting on a vector space $V$. Given a set of $G$-invariants, one can ask the question : does this set of invariants characterize the group $G$ ? We recall here some known results, ask questions and state some…

We characterize the set of properties of Boolean-valued functions on a finite domain $\mathcal{X}$ that are testable with a constant number of samples. Specifically, we show that a property $\mathcal{P}$ is testable with a constant number…
