We study the geometric significance of Leinster's notion of magnitude for a smooth manifold with boundary of arbitrary dimension, motivated by open questions for the unit disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$. For a large class of distance functions,…
We conjecture a structure formula for the $\mathrm{SU}(r)$ Vafa-Witten partition function for surfaces with holomorphic 2-form. The conjecture is based on $S$-duality and a structure formula for the vertical contribution previously derived…
This is a survey for the JDG 50th Anniversary conference of recent results on nodal sets of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold. In part the techniques are `local', i.e. only assuming eigenfunctions are defined…
We carry out some algebraic and analytic properties of a new class of orthogonal polyanalytic polynomials, including their operational formulas, recurrence relations, generating functions, integral representations and different…
First BGG operators are a large class of overdetermined linear differential operators intrinsically associated to a parabolic geometry on a manifold. The corresponding equations include those controlling infinitesimal automorphisms, higher…
Hypergeometric functions provide a useful representation of Feynman diagrams occuring in precision phenomenology. In dimension regularization, the epsilon-expansion of these functions about d=4 is required. We discuss the current status of…
Motivated by an influential result of Bourgain and Tzafriri, we consider continuous matrix functions $A:\mathbb{R}\to M_{n\times n}$ and lower $\ell_2$-norm bounds associated with their restriction to certain subspaces. We prove that for…
We present two constructions, both inspired by ideas from graph theory, of sequences random surfaces of growing area, whose systoles grow logarithmically as a function of their area. This also allows us to prove a new lower bound on the…
Through exploring the embedded transnormal systems of codimension 1, we show the existence of a transnormal function on a connected complete Riemannian manifold requires the underlying manifold to have a vector bundle structure or a linear…
The present paper regards the volume function of a doubly truncated hyperbolic tetrahedron. Starting from the previous results of J. Murakami, U. Yano and A. Ushijima, we have developed a unified approach to express the volume in different…
The spectral decomposition for an explicit second-order differential operator $T$ is determined. The spectrum consists of a continuous part with multiplicity two, a continuous part with multiplicity one, and a finite discrete part with…
Let $\mathfrak g$ be an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra, and $G$ be the algebraic completion of a $\mathfrak g$-module. Using the geometric model of Schottky uniformization of Riemann sphere to obtain a higher genus Riemann surface, we…

On a closed Riemannian surface of negative curvature, we prove a characterization for configurations of closed geodesics arising from one parameter Allen-Cahn min-max constructions. One of the facts we conclude is that every geodesic occurs…
We derive an explicit c-function expansion of a basic hypergeometric function associated to root systems. The basic hypergeometric function in question was constructed as explicit series expansion in symmetric Macdonald polynomials by…

For hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of finite geometry, we study Selberg's zeta function and its relation to the relative scattering phase and the resonances of the Laplacian. As an application we show that the conjugacy class of a finitely…
We show that if $f$ is an integer-valued function with spectral norm at most $M$ then there are subspaces $V_1,\dots,V_L$ and signs $\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_L \in \{-1,1\}$ such that $f=\sigma_1 1_{V_1} + \dots + \sigma_L 1_{V_L}$ where $L <…
Recently there has been a renewed interest in asymptotic Euler-MacLaurin formulas, partly due to applications to spectral theory of differential operators. Using elementary means, we recover such formulas for compactly supported smooth…
A function $f:\ \{-1,1\}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is called pseudo-Boolean. It is well-known that each pseudo-Boolean function $f$ can be written as $f(x)=\sum_{I\in {\cal F}}\hat{f}(I)\chi_I(x),$ where ${\cal F}\subseteq \{I:\ I\subseteq…
