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…

The 3-term recurrence relation for Hermite polynomials was recently generalized to a recurrence relation for Wronskians of Hermite polynomials. In this note, a similar generalization for Laguerre polynomials is obtained.

We find and prove relationships between Riemann zeta values and central binomial sums. We also investigate alternating binomial sums (also called Ap\'ery sums). The study of non-alternating sums leads to an investigation of different types…

Once the action for Einstein's equations is rewritten as a functional of an SO(3,C) connection and a conformal factor of the metric, it admits a family of ``neighbours'' having the same number of degrees of freedom and a precisely defined…

For the $q$-Painlev\'e equation with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $E_6^{(1)}$, a $2\times 2$ matrix Lax form and a second order scalar lax form were known. We give a new $3\times 3$ matrix Lax form and a third order scalar equation…

In this short note, we establish some identities containing sums of binomials with coefficients satisfying third order linear recursive relations. As a result and in particular, we obtain general forms of earlier identities involving…

Riemannian geometry in four dimensions naturally leads to an SL(3) connection that annihilates a basis for self-dual two-forms. Einstein's equations may be written in terms of an SO(3) connection, with SO(3) chosen as an appropriate…

Using an elementary approach involving the Euler Beta function and the binomial theorem, we derive two polynomial identities; one of which is a generalization of a known polynomial identity. Two well-known combinatorial identities, namely…

We explore some of the special features with respect to Bredon cohomology of groups having all its finite subgroups either nilpotent or p-groups or cyclic p-groups. We get some results on dimensions and also a formula for the equivariant…

Addition formulae of trigonometric and elliptic functions are used to generate B\"acklund transformations together with their connecting quadrilateral equations. As a result we obtain periodic solutions for a number of multidimensionally…

In the present work, we investigate real numbers whose sequence of partial quotients enjoys some combinatorial properties involving the notion of palindrome. We provide three new transendence criteria, that apply to a broad class of…

An alternative approach to perturbative Yang-Mills theories in four (3+1) dimensional space-time based on the causal Epstein-Glaser method in QFT was recently proposed. In this short note we show that the set of identities between C-number…

In 1996 N. Chevallier proved a beautiful lemma which connects Diophantine approximation and multidimensional generalizations of the famous Three Distance Theorem. Using this lemma we show how known results about multidimensional three…

The Lagrangian of pseudoscalar, vector, and axial-vector mesons is determined by the explicit global chiral symmetry and hidden local chiral symmetry. There are fourteen interacting terms up to the dimension-four of covariant derivatives…

The results here presented are a continuation of the algebraic research line which attempts to find properties of multiple-valued systems based on a poset of two agents. The aim of this paper is to exhibit two relationships between some…

Tetrahedron equation is a three dimensional analogue of the Yang-Baxter equation. It allows a formulation in terms of the Coxeter group $A_3$. This short note includes miscellaneous remarks on the generalizations along $B_3, C_3, F_4$ and…

We prove that subsets of ${\Bbb R}^d$, $d \ge 4$ of large enough Hausdorff dimensions contain vertices of an equilateral triangle. It is known that additional hypotheses are needed to assure the existence of equilateral triangles in two…

For a hypergeometric series $\sum_k f(k,a, b, ...,c)$ with parameters $a, b, >...,c$, Paule has found a variation of Zeilberger's algorithm to establish recurrence relations involving shifts on the parameters. We consider a more general…

We study geometric consistency relations between angles of 3-dimensional (3D) circular quadrilateral lattices -- lattices whose faces are planar quadrilaterals inscribable into a circle. We show that these relations generate canonical…

The covariant chiral kinetic equation (CCKE) is derived from the 4-dimensional Wigner function by an improved perturbative method under the static equilibrium conditions. The chiral kinetic equation in 3-dimensions can be obtained by…
