In this paper we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}$ when the parameters $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are not necessarily $>-1$. We establish orthogonality on a generic closed contour on a…
For a finite group $G$, we associate the quantity $\beta(G)=\frac{|L(G)|}{|G|}$, where $L(G)$ is the subgroup lattice of $G$. Different properties and problems related to this ratio are studied throughout the paper. We determine the second…
Let $F=x^2+y^2-z^2$, $x_0 \in \mathbb{Z}^3$ primitive with $F(x_0)=0$, and $\Gamma \leq SO_F(\mathbb{Z})$ be a finitely generated thin subgroup. We consider the resulting thin orbits of Pythagorean triples $x_0 \cdot \Gamma$ - specifically…
For the ternary quadratic form Q(x) = x^2 + y^2 - z^2 and a non-zero Pythagorean triple x_0 in Z^3 lying on the cone Q(x) = 0, we consider an orbit O = x_0 Gamma of a finitely generated subgroup Gamma < SO_Q(Z) with critical exponent…
We prove a parabolic analogue of Wolff's inequality adapted to the intrinsic scaling $\delta_c(x,t)=(cx,c^2t)$ and formulated in terms of time-backward parabolic dyadic rectangles. As a consequence, we obtain equivalent characterizations of…
Classical Jacobi polynomials $P_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}$, with $\alpha, \beta>-1$, have a number of well-known properties, in particular the location of their zeros in the open interval $(-1,1)$. This property is no longer valid for other…
In this paper we use techniques from convex projective geometry to produce many new examples of thin subgroups of lattices in special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of finite volume hyperbolic manifolds. More…
For right-angled Coxeter groups $W_{\Gamma}$, we obtain a condition on $\Gamma$ that is necessary and sufficient to ensure that $W_{\Gamma}$ is thick and thus not relatively hyperbolic. We show that Coxeter groups which are not thick all…
A constrained colouring or, more specifically, an $(\alpha,\beta)$-colouring of a hypergraph $H$, is an assignment of colours to its vertices such that no edge of $H$ contains less than $\alpha$ or more than $\beta$ vertices with different…
We show that arithmetic subgroups of semisimple groups of relative Q-type A_n, B_n, C_n, D_n, E_6, or E_7 have an exponential lower bound to their isoperimetric inequality in the dimension that is 1 less than the real rank of the semisimple…
For a hyperplane $H$ supporting a convex body $C$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^d$ we define the width of $C$ determined by $H$ as the distance between $H$ and a most distant ultraparallel hyperplane supporting $C$. The minimum width…
We consider maps on a surface of genus $g$ with all vertices of degree at least three and positive real lengths assigned to the edges. In particular, we study the family of such metric maps with fixed genus $g$ and fixed number $n$ of faces…
A non-cyclic finite $p$-group $G$ is said to be thin if every normal subgroup of $G$ lies between two consecutive terms of the lower central series and $|\gamma_i(G):\gamma_{i+1}(G)|\le p^2$ for all $i\geq 1$. In this paper, we determine…
In this paper we continue investigation of the hypergeometric function ${}_4F_3(1)$ as the function of its seven parameters. We deduce several reduction formulas for this function under additional conditions that one of the top parameters…
We show that properties of hypergeometric type equations become transparent if they are derived from appropriate 2nd order partial differential equations with constant coefficients. In particular, we deduce the symmetries of the…
We explore a missing-partner model based on the minimal SU(5) gauge group with $\bf{75}$, $\bf{50}$ and $\bf{\overline{50}}$ Higgs representations, assuming a super-GUT CMSSM scenario in which soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters are…
The $\beta$-generalized quasi-geostrophic equation is studied in the range of $\alpha \in (0, 1), \beta \in (1/2, 1), 1/2 < \alpha + \beta < 3/2$. When $\alpha \in (1/2, 1), \beta \in (1/2, 1)$ such that $1 \leq \alpha + \beta < 3/2$, using…
For a triangle in the hyperbolic plane, let $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ denote the angles opposite the sides $a,b,c$, respectively. Also, let $h$ be the height of the altitude to side $c$. Under the assumption that $\alpha,\beta, \gamma$ can be…
Let G:=SO(n,1)^\circ and \Gamma be a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup with critical exponent delta bigger than (n-1)/2. Under a spectral gap hypothesis on L^2(\Gamma \ G), which is always satisfied for delta>(n-1)/2 for n=2,3 and…
