We prove some sharp Hardy inequalities for domains with a spherical symmetry. In particular, we prove an inequality for domains of the unit $n$-dimensional sphere with a point singularity, and an inequality for functions defined on the…

We present a general formalism for computing the Hodge dual of differential forms in arbitrary dimensions subject to a spherical constraint. This problem arises naturally in Kaluza-Klein compactifications, where sphere reductions demand…
We discuss briefly discrete space effects and show that this leads to space reflection asymmetry and also a minor modification of Einstein's energy-mass formula.
We compute the transgressed forms of some modularly invariant characteristic forms,which are related to the twisted elliptic genera. We study the modularity properties of these secondary characteristic forms and relations among them. We…
We study a system of equations on a compact complex manifold, that couples the scalar curvature of a Kaehler metric with a spectral function of a first-order deformation of the complex structure. The system comes from an…
The scattering of free particles constrained to move on a cylindrically symmetric curved surface is studied. The nontrivial geometry of the space contributes to the scattering cross section through the kinetic as well as a possible scalar…
A simple closed form expression is obtained for the scattering phase shift perturbatively to any given order in effective one-dimensional problems. The result is a hierarchical scheme, expressible in quadratures, requiring only knowledge of…
Based on the results of part I, we obtain the general form of the addition theorem for spin spherical harmonics and give explicit results in the cases involving one spin-$s'$ and one spin-$s$ spherical harmonics with $s',s=1/2$, 1, 3/2, and…
Spherical harmonics of degree 4 are widely used in volumetric frame fields design due to their ability to reproduce octahedral symmetry. In this paper we show how to use harmonics of degree 3 (octupoles) for the same purpose, thereby…
In this work we investigate the role of the symmetry of the Lagrangian on the existence of defects in systems of coupled scalar fields. We focus attention mainly on solutions where defects may nest defects. When space is non-compact we find…
Let R be a ring. A construction method for flexible quadratic algebras with scalar involution over R is presented which unifies various classical constructions in the literature, in particular those to construct composition algebras.
If a (weighted) spherical design is defined as an integration (cubature) rule for a unitarily invariant space P of polynomials (on the sphere), then any unitary image of it is also such a spherical design. It therefore follows that such…
The problem of possible astrophysical consequences of the existence of exotic differential structures on manifolds is discussed. It is argued that corrections to the curvature of the form of a source like terms should be expected in the…
The spherometer used for measuring radius of curvature of spherical surfaces is explicitly based on a geometric relation unique to circles and spheres. We present an alternate approach using coordinate geometry, which reproduces the…
Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…
For a simply connected closed Riemannian manifold with positive scalar curvature, we prove an upper diameter bound in terms of its scalar curvature integral, the Yamabe constant and the dimension of the manifold. When a manifold has a…
We develop a systematic approach to deriving addition theorems for, and some other bilocal sums of, spin spherical harmonics. In this first part we establish some necessary technical results. We discuss the factorization of orbital and spin…
The Casimir stress on a spherical shell in de Sitter signature changing background for massless scalar field satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions on the shell is calculated. The Casimir stress is calculated for inside and outside of the…
