Let $S$ be a subset of a amenable group $G$ such that $e\in S$ and $S^{-1}=S$. The main result of the paper states that if the Cayley graph of $G$ with respect to $S$ has a certain combinatorial property, then every positive definite…
Inspired by work surrounding Igusa's local zeta function, we introduce topological representation zeta functions of unipotent algebraic groups over number fields. These group-theoretic invariants capture common features of established…
Let $R$ be a semilocal Dedekind domain. Under certain assumptions, we show that two (not necessarily unimodular) hermitian forms over an $R$-algebra with involution, which are rationally ismorphic and have isomorphic semisimple coradicals,…
In the paper, properties of antisymmetric orbit functions are reviewed and further developed. Antisymmetric orbit functions on the Euclidean space $E_n$ are antisymmetrized exponential functions. Antisymmetrization is fulfilled by a Weyl…
We continue our study of topological partial *-algebras, focusing our attention to *-semisimple partial *-algebras, that is, those that possess a {multiplication core} and sufficiently many *-representations. We discuss the respective roles…
The ring of symmetric functions carries the structure of a Hopf algebra. When computing the coproduct of complete symmetric functions $h_\lambda$ one arrives at weighted sums over reverse plane partitions (RPP) involving binomial…
It is known that, under certain conditions, *-representability and extensibility to the unitized *-algebra of a positive linear functional, defined on a *-algebra without unit, are equivalent. In this paper, a new condition for an analogous…
We introduce and give a more or less complete study of a family of branching-Toeplitz operators on the Hilbert space $\ell^2(T_q)$ indexed by a rooted homogeneous tree $T_q$ of degree $q\ge 2$. The finite dimensional analogues of such…
The Hamiltonian $H={1\over2} p^2+{1\over2}m^2x^2+gx^2(ix)^\delta$ with $\delta,g\geq0$ is non-Hermitian, but the energy levels are real and positive as a consequence of ${\cal PT}$ symmetry. The quantum mechanical theory described by $H$ is…
The metohod of ortogonal rotations introduced in the previous papers of the author is used for construction of the explicit form the generators of the simple roots for quantum (and ussual) semisimple algebras. All calculations are presented…
We study isometric representations of the semigroup $\mathbb{Z}_+\backslash \{1\}$. Notion of an inverse representation is introduced and a complete description (up to unitary equivalence) of such representations is given. Also, we study a…
We study spherical functions on the space isomorphic to $U(2n)/(U(n)\times U(n))$ over a $p$-adic field; those functional equations with respect to the action of the Weyl group, the location of possible poles and zeros, explicit formulas,…
Let $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ be the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ over a $W^{*}$-algebra $M$. In earlier work, we showed that the completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$, whose restrictions to $M$ are…
This paper deals with the moment problem on a (not necessarily finitely generated) commutative unital real algebra $A$. We define moment functionals on $A$ as linear functionals which can be written as integrals over characters of $A$ with…
We calculate the Fourier transform of a spherically symmetric exponential function. Our evaluation is much simpler than the known one. We use the polar coordinates and reduce the Fourier transform to the integral of a rational function of…
We study the Fourier characterisation of strictly positive definite functions on compact abelian groups. Our main result settles the case $G = F \times \mathbb{T}^r$, with $r \in \mathbb{N}$ and $F$ finite. The characterisation obtained for…
Given a semigroup $S$ generated by its squares equipped with an involutive automorphism $\sigma$ and a multiplicative function $\mu:S\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $\mu(x\sigma(x))=1$ for all $x\in S$, we determine the complex-valued solutions of…
In 1999, Reg Wood conjectured that the quotient of Q[x_1,...,x_n] by the action of the rational Steenrod algebra is a graded regular representation of the symmetric group S_n. As pointed out by Reg Wood, the analog of this statement is a…
A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group $G$ is called semibounded if the corresponding operators $i\dd\pi(x)$ from the derived representation are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of…
We give an algebro-geometric classification of smooth real affine algebraic surfaces endowed with an effective action of the real algebraic circle group $\mathbb{S}^1$ up to equivariant isomorphisms. As an application, we show that every…
