In 2018, Pott, at al. have studied in [IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. Volume: 64, Issue: 1, 2018] the maximum number of bent components of vectorial function. They have presented serval nice results and suggested several open…
Planar functions over finite fields give rise to finite projective planes and other combinatorial objects. They were originally defined only in odd characteristic, but recently Zhou introduced a definition in even characteristic which…
We study the problem of approximating and learning coverage functions. A function $c: 2^{[n]} \rightarrow \mathbf{R}^{+}$ is a coverage function, if there exists a universe $U$ with non-negative weights $w(u)$ for each $u \in U$ and subsets…
Bent Boolean functions are important objects in cryptography and coding theory, and there are several general approaches for constructing such functions. Metaheuristics proved to be a strong choice as they can provide many bent functions,…
We consider BPS-counting functions $\mathcal{Z}_{N,M}$ of $N$ parallel M5-branes probing a transverse $\mathbb{Z}_M$ orbifold geometry. These brane web configurations can be dualised into a class of toric non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds…
The Fox $H$-function is a special function which is defined via the Mellin-Barnes integrals and produces, as particular cases, Wright generalized hypergeometric functions, MacRobert's $E$-functions and Meijer $G$-functions, to name but few.…
Let $P_{2k}$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $2k$ and assume that there exist $C>0$, $D>0$ and $\alpha \ge 0$ such that \begin{equation*} \left\langle P_{2k}f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})}\geq \frac{1}{C\left(…
The Mittag-Leffler function plays an important role in Geometric Function Theory, particularly in the study of analytic and meromorphic function classes. Among its various generalizations, the Barnes-Mittag-Leffler function stands out due…
Let $(M,g)$ be a compact manifold and let $-\Delta \phi_k = \lambda_k \phi_k$ be the sequence of Laplacian eigenfunctions. We present a curious new phenomenon which, so far, we only managed to understand in a few highly specialized cases:…
Here we study the deformations of associative submanifolds inside a G_2 manifold M^7 with a calibration 3-form \phi. A choice of 2-plane field \Lambda on M (which always exits) splits the tangent bundle of M as a direct sum of a…
Semi-bent Boolean functions are interesting from a cryptographic standpoint, since they possess several desirable properties such as having a low and flat Walsh spectrum, which is useful to resist linear cryptanalysis. In this paper, we…
In general $n$-dimensional simplicial meshes, we propose a family of interior penalty nonconforming finite element methods for $2m$-th order partial differential equations, where $m \geq 0$ and $n \geq 1$. For this family of nonconforming…
We study smooth bundles over surfaces with highly connected almost parallelizable fiber $M$ of even dimension, providing necessary conditions for a manifold to be bordant to the total space of such a bundle and showing that, in most cases,…
We study the momentum space representation of energy-momentum tensor two-point functions on a space with a planar boundary in $d=3$. We show that non-conservation of momentum in the direction perpendicular to the boundary allows for new…
For any field k and any integers m,n with 0 <= 2m <= n+1, let W_n be the k-vector space of sequences (x_0,...,x_n), and let H_m be the subset of W_n consisting of the sequences that satisfy a degree-m linear recursion, that is, for which…
We construct a natural conformally invariant one-form of weight $-2k$ on any $2k$-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold which is closely related to the Pfaffian of the Weyl tensor. On oriented manifolds, we also construct natural…
In this paper, we are going to describe the solutions of the functional equation $$ \varphi\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)(f(x)+f(y))=\varphi(x)f(x)+\varphi(y)f(y) $$ concerning the unknown functions $\varphi$ and $f$ defined on an open interval.…
The generating functional of two dimensional $BF$ field theories coupled to fermionic fields and conserved currents is computed in the general case when the base manifold is a genus g compact Riemann surface. The lagrangian density…
In this paper functions $f:D\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the inequality \[ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac12f(x)+\frac12f(y) +\varphi\Big(\frac{x-y}{2}\Big) \qquad(x,y\in D) \] are studied, where $D$ is a nonempty convex subset of a real…
Given a generically \'etale morphism $f\colon Y\to X$ of quasi-smooth Berkovich curves, we define a different function $\delta_f\colon Y\to[0,1]$ that measures the wildness of the topological ramification locus of $f$. This provides a new…
