I continue the investigation of a q-analogue of the convolution on the line started in a joint work with Koornwinder and based on a formal definition due to Kempf and Majid. Two different ways of approximating functions by means of the…

For every absolutely irreducible orthogonal representation of a twisted form of SL2 over a field of characteristic zero, we compute the "unique" symmetric bilinear form that is invariant under the group action. We also prove the analogous…

If for all $a, b$ in a group $G$, we have that $a^2b^2 = b^2a^2$ and $a^3b^3 = b^3a^3$ then does the group necessarily have to be abelian? This paper shows that the answer is affirmative for finite groups as well as certain classes of…

We consider the inequality $f \geqslant f\star f$ for real integrable functions on $d$ dimensional Euclidean space where $f\star f$ denotes the convolution of $f$ with itself. We show that all such functions $f$ are non-negative, which is…

In this note we prove (under mild hypotheses) that $f$ is a nontrivial character of $\mathbb{F}_p$ if and only if the Fourier transform of $f$ has magnitude 1 somewhere in $\mathbb{F}_p^\times$. This implies a converse to a theorem of Gauss…

We classify the non-Abelian anomaly of the Euclidean conformal group $SO(2n+1,1)$ in $2n$ dimensions via Stora-Zumino descent from its Euler invariant polynomial in $2n+2$ dimensions. In this way, we place the conformal anomaly on the same…

Convolution with an appropriate surface measure on a paraboloid is known to define a bounded operator T from L^p(R^d) to L^q(R^d) for certain exponents p,q. By a quasiextremal for the associated inequality, we mean a function f for which…

We establish correspondances between factorisations of finite abelian groups (direct factors, unitary factors, non isomorphic subgroup classes) and factorisations of integer matrices. We then study counting functions associated to these…

Let $S$ be a $3$-dimensional quantum polynomial algebra, and $f \in S_2$ a central regular element. The quotient algebra $A = S/(f)$ is called a noncommutative conic. For a noncommutative conic $A$, there is a finite dimensional algebra…

Let F be the field of two elements and G a finite abelian 2-group with an involutory automorphism. The extension of this automorphism to the group algebra FG is called an involutory involution. This determines the groups of unitary and…

In this paper we construct a modular form f of weight one attached to an imaginary quadratic field K. This form, which is non-holomorphic and not a cusp form, has several curious properties. Its negative Fourier coefficients are non-zero…

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…

The operad of moulds is realized in terms of an operational calculus of formal integrals (continuous formal power series). This leads to many simplifications and to the discovery of various suboperads. In particular, we prove a conjecture…

The functor that takes a ring to its category of modules has an adjoint if one remembers the forgetful functor to abelian groups: the endomorphism ring of linear natural transformations. This uses the self-enrichment of the category of…

In this paper we prove that Brou\'{e}'s abelian defect group conjecture is true for the finite odd-dimensional orthogonal groups $\SO_{2n+1}(q)$ at linear primes with $q$ odd. We first make use of the reduction theorem of…

Let $(Q,\sigma)$ be a symmetric quiver, where $Q=(Q_0,Q_1)$ is a finite quiver without oriented cycles and $\sigma$ is a contravariant involution on $Q_0\sqcup Q_1$. The involution allows us to define a nondegenerate bilinear form $<,>$ on…

Returning to a classical question in Harmonic Analysis we strengthen an old result of Walter Rudin. We show that there exists a weakly almost periodic function on the group of integers Z which is not in the norm-closure of the algebra B(Z)…

This is an expository work presenting in detail the proof of the structure theorem for divisible abelian groups. A divisible abelian group is an abelian group that satisfies nD=D for all natural n. The theorem states that any divisible…

The Walsh transform $\widehat{Q}$ of a quadratic function $Q:F_{p^n}\rightarrow F_p$ satisfies $|\widehat{Q}(b)| \in \{0,p^{\frac{n+s}{2}}\}$ for all $b\in F_{p^n}$, where $0\le s\le n-1$ is an integer depending on $Q$. In this article, we…

We study which integers are admissible as Fourier coefficients of even integer weight newforms. In the specific case of the tau-function, we show that for all odd primes $\ell < 100$ and all integers $m \geq 1$, we have $$ \tau(n) \neq \pm…
