Scalar, vector and tensor harmonics on the three-sphere were introduced originally to facilitate the study of various problems in gravitational physics. These harmonics are defined as eigenfunctions of the covariant Laplace operator which…
The identification between the complex plane and the Riemann sphere preserves holomorphic and harmonic functions and is a classical tool. In this paper we consider a similar mapping from an unbounded metric space $X$ to a bounded space and…
We give a proof of Lipschitz continuity of p-harmonious functions, that are tug-of-war game analogies of ordinary p-harmonic functions. This result is used to obtain a new proof of Harnack's inequality for p-harmonic functions in the case…
Families of hypersurfaces that are level-set families of harmonic functions free of critical points are characterized by a local differential-geometric condition. Harmonic functions with a specified level-set family are constructed from…

Matrix elements of spinor and principal series representations of the Lorentz group are studied in the basis of complex angular momentum (helicity basis). It is shown that matrix elements are expressed via hyperspherical functions…

Numerical experiments with smooth surface extension and image inpainting using harmonic and biharmonic functions are carried out. The boundary data used for constructing biharmonic functions are the values of the Laplacian and normal…
We prove a representation formula for superharmonic functions on the half-space $\mathbb{R}^N_+ := \mathbb{R}^{N-1}\times]0,+\infty[$. As a consequence, we derive some comparison principles and various positivity results.
Based on collection of bijections, variable and function are extended into ``isomorphic variable'' and ``dual-variable-isomorphic function'', then mean values such as arithmetic mean and mean of a function are extended to ``isomorphic…

It is well known that the real and imaginary parts of any holomorphic function are harmonic functions of two variables. In this paper we generalize this property to finite-dimensional commutative algebras. We prove that if some basis of a…
If $\sigma$ is a symmetric mean and $f$ is an operator monotone function on $[0, \infty)$, then $$f(2(A^{-1}+B^{-1})^{-1})\le f(A\sigma B)\le f((A+B)/2).$$ Conversely, Ando and Hiai showed that if $f$ is a function that satisfies either one…
The Feynman path integral for the generalized harmonic oscillator is reviewed, and it is shown that the path integral can be used to find a complete set of wave functions for the oscillator. Harmonic oscillators with different…
Harmonic analysis is a tool to infer cosmic topology from the measured astrophysical cosmic microwave background CMB radiation. For overall positive curvature, Platonic spherical manifolds are candidates for this analysis. We combine the…
In this work we extend the theory of the classical Hardy space $H^1$ to the rational Dunkl setting. Specifically, let $\Delta$ be the Dunkl Laplacian on a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^N$. On the half-space $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}^N$,…
