We look at several problems in even dimensional conformal geometry based around the de Rham complex. A leading and motivating problem is to find a conformally invariant replacement for the usual de Rham harmonics. An obviously related…

The direct and inverse problems for a third-order self-adjoint differential operator with non-local potential functions are considered. Firstly, the multiplicity for eigenvalues of the operator is analyzed, and it is proved that the…
In general, standard necessary optimality conditions cannot be formulated in a straightforward manner for semi-smooth shape optimization problems. In this paper, we consider shape optimization problems constrained by variational…
Spectrum of a certain class of first order conformally invariant operators on the sphere is explicitly computed. The class contains the (elliptic verions of) Rarita-Schwinger operator and its higher spin analogues.
We develop the calculus for hypersurface variations based on variation of the hypersurface defining function. This is used to show that the functional gradient of a new Willmore-like, conformal hypersurface energy agrees exactly with the…
We study compactness of solutions to the Yamabe problem on Riemannian manifolds which are not locally conformally flat.
We define two common $q$-orthogonal polynomials: homogeneous $q$-Laguerre polynomials and homogeneous little $q$-Jacobi polynomials. They can be viewed separately as solutions to two $q$-partial differential equations. Then, we proved that…
Let $q\neq \pm 1$ be a complex number of modulus one. This paper deals with the operator relation $AB=qBA$ for self-adjoint operators $A$ and $B$ on a Hilbert space. Two classes of well-behaved representations of this relation are studied…
We introduce new invariants of a Riemannian singular space, the local Yamabe and Sobolev constants, and then go on to prove a general version of the Yamabe theorem under that the global Yamabe invariant of the space is strictly less than…
In this paper, we solve certain Fermat-type partial differential-difference equations for finite order entire functions of several complex variables. These results are significant generalizations of some earlier findings, especially those…
A new proof of the conformal covariance of the powers of the flat Dirac operator is obtained. The proof uses their relation with the Knapp-Stein intertwining operators for the spinorial principal series. We also treat the compact picture,…
The multi-indexed Jacobi polynomials are the main part of the eigenfunctions of exactly solvable quantum mechanical systems obtained by certain deformations of the P\"oschl-Teller potential (Odake-Sasaki). By fine-tuning the parameter(s) of…

In this article, we investigate differential operators on the Siegel-Jacobi space that are invariant under the natural action of the Jacobi group. These invariant differential operators play an important role in the arithmetic theory of…
We introduce new aspects in conformal geometry of some very natural second-order differential operators. These operators are termed shift operators. In the flat space, they are intertwining operators which are closely related to symmetry…
