A group, defined as set with associative multiplication and inverse, is a natural structure describing the symmetry of a space. The concept of group generalizes to group objects internal to other categories than sets. But there are yet more…
In this paper, we propose a general method to express explicitly the inversion and the connection coefficients between two basic hypergeometric polynomial sets. As application, we consider some $d$-orthogonal basic hypergeometric…
In analogy with the Poisson algebra of the quadratic forms on the symplectic plane, and the notion of duality in the projective plane introduced by Arnold in \cite{Arn}, where the concurrence of the triangle altitudes is deduced from the…
We prove a $p$-adic version of the Integral Geometry Formula for averaging the intersection of two $p$-adic projective algebraic sets. We apply this result to give bounds on the number of points in the modulo $p^m$ reduction of a projective…
Let $\mathbb F$ denote a field, and fix a nonzero $q\in\mathbb F$ such that $q^4\not=1$. The universal Askey-Wilson algebra $\Delta_q$ is the associative $\mathbb F$-algebra defined by generators and relations in the following way. The…
Let K denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over K with finite positive dimension. We consider an ordered pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ which satisfy the following two properties: (i) There exists a…
We investigate the enumerative geometry of point configurations in projective space. We define "projective configuration counts": these enumerate configurations of points in projective space such that certain specified subsets are in fixed…
Problems related to projections on closed convex cones are frequently encountered in optimization theory and related fields. To study these problems, various unifying ideas have been introduced, including asymmetric vector-valued norms and…
We study relations of some classes of $k$-convex, $k$-visible bodies in Euclidean spaces. We introduce and study \textrm{circular projections} in normed linear spaces and classes of bodies related with families of such maps, in particular,…
In this paper, projective representations of generalized chain geometries are investigated, using the concepts and results of part I. In particular, we study under which conditions such a projective representation maps the chains of a…
A geometric realization of the projective completion of the Jordan pair corresponding to a three-graded Lie algebra is given which permits to develop a geometric structure theory of the projective completion. This will be used in Part II of…
For complete affine manifolds we introduce a definition of compactification based on the projective differential geometry (i.e.\ geodesic path data) of the given connection. The definition of projective compactness involves a real parameter…
We discuss representations of the projective line over a ring $R$ with 1 in a projective space over some (not necessarily commutative) field $K$. Such a representation is based upon a $(K,R)$-bimodule $U$. The points of the projective line…
With this chapter we provide a compact yet complete survey of two most remarkable "representation theorems": every arguesian projective geometry is represented by an essentially unique vector space, and every arguesian Hilbert geometry is…
A recent paper showed how to find sets of finite affine or projective planes constructed on a common set of points, so that lines of one plane meet lines of a different plane in at most two points. In this paper, those results are…
An explicit structure relation for Askey-Wilson polynomials is given. This involves a divided q-difference operator which is skew symmetric with respect to the Askey-Wilson inner product and which sends polynomials of degree n to…
In this paper we study associative algebras with a Poisson algebra structure on the center acting by derivations on the rest of the algebra. These structures, which we call Poisson fibred algebras, appear in the study of quantum groups at…
Vector fields with components which are generalized zero-forms are constructed. Inner products with generalized forms, Lie derivatives and Lie brackets are computed. The results are shown to generalize previously reported results for…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
We list the so-called Askey-scheme of hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials. In chapter 1 we give the definition, the orthogonality relation, the three term recurrence relation and generating functions of all classes of orthogonal…
