In this paper, we study the algebraic relations satisfied by the solutions of $q$-difference equations and their transforms with respect to an auxiliary operator. Our main tool is the parametrized Galois theories developed in two papers.…

We build on work of Elek and Zucker and develop a topological analogue of the theory of weak containment. We show that definitions in terms of local patterns, containment in ultra(co)products, and continuous model theory are all equivalent,…

We reformulate and motivate AKSZ-type topological field theories in pedestrian terms, explaining how they arise as the most general Schwartz-type topological actions subject to a simple constraint, and how they generalize Chern$-$Simons…

We propose a systematic study of transformations of $A$-hypergeometric functions. Our approach is to apply changes of variables corresponding to automorphisms of toric rings, to Euler-type integral representations of $A$-hypergeometric…

We propose a gauge theory of gravitation. The gauge potential is a connection of the Super SL(2,C) group. A MacDowell-Mansouri type of action is proposed where the action is quadratic in the Super SL(2,C) curvature and depends purely on…

In these lecture notes I give an elementary introduction to elliptic hypergeometric functions. I focus on motivating the main ideas and constructions, rather than giving a comprehensive survey. The lectures include a brief explanation of…

In this paper, we introduce a new function, the multiple confluent hypergeometric functions, and establish a functional equation for the $r$-variable Euler--Zagier multiple zeta functions using it. In the case when $r=2$, this functional…

Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary Gromov-hyperbolic group, and $\partial \Gamma$ denote its Gromov boundary. We consider $\Gamma$-invariant proper $\delta$-hyperbolic, quasi-convex metric $d$ on $\Gamma$, and the associated…

Hyperbolic hypergeometric integrals are defined as Barnes-type integrals of products of hyperbolic gamma functions. Their reduction to ordinary hypergeometric functions is well known. We study in detail their degeneration to complex…

We outline a project to study the Galois action on a class of modular graphs (special type of dessins) which arise as the dual graphs of the sphere triangulations of non-negative curvature, classified by Thurston. Because of their…

We propose an extension of ergodic theory which focuses on the identification of ergodicity in terms of the uniqueness of the invariant measure. We first explain the concept for the doubling maps, which can be analyzed using Fourier…

We answer in the negative Siegel's question whether all E-functions are polynomial expressions in hypergeometric E-functions. Namely, we show that if an irreducible differential operator of order three annihilates an E-function in the…

In this paper we prove a Gross-Zagier type formula for the anticyclotomic p-adic L-function of an elliptic modular form f of higher weight and of multiplicative type at p. For such f we also decribe explicitely the local Galois…

In the paper, the author expresses the difference $2^m\bigl[\zeta\bigl(-m,\frac{1+x}{2}\bigr)-\zeta\bigl(-m,\frac{2+x}{2}\bigr)\bigr]$ in terms of a linear combination of the function $\Gamma(m+1){\,}_2F_1(-m,-x;1;2)$ for $m\in\mathbb{N}_0$…

Let $\gamma_{d}$ be the $d$-dimensional standard Gaussian measure and $\{Q_{t}\}_{t\ge 0}$ the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup acting on $L^{1}(\gamma_{d})$. We show that the hypercontractivity of $\{Q_{t}\}_{t\ge 0}$ is equivalent to the…

A point $P$ in projective space is said to be Galois with respect to a hypersurface if the function field extension induced by the projection from $P$ is Galois. We present a hyperplane section theorem for Galois points. Precisely, if $P$…

Multivariate hypergeometric functions associated with toric varieties were introduced by Gel'fand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky. Singularities of such functions are discriminants, that is, divisors projectively dual to torus orbit closures. We…

Coadjoint orbits of the Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebras provide geometric actions for matter coupled to gravity and gauge fields in two dimensions. However, the Gauss' law constraints that arise from these actions are not necessarily…
