The paper presents a new and simple range characterization for the spherical mean transform of functions supported in the unit ball in even dimensions. It complements the previous work of the same authors, where they solved an analogous…
In this paper, we prove the existence of nontrivial contractible domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{S}^{d}$, $d\geq2$, such that the overdetermined elliptic problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon\Delta_{g} u +u-u^{p}=0 &\mbox{in…

We write down a one-dimensional integral formula and compute large-n asymptotics for the expectation of the absolute value of the smallest component of a unit vector in n-dimensional Euclidean space. The method is general, and allows to…
The derivation of the state of the art tensorial versions of Fundamental Measure Theory (a form of classical Density Functional Theory for hard spheres) are re-examined in the light of the recently introduced concept of global stability of…
We verify a conjecture proposed by X. Chen and Y. Shi, which arises from their study of the Green function on spheres in Euclidean space. More precisely, let $M\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a closed $C^{2}$ embedded surface and suppose that…
In this article we raise some new questions about positive definite functions on free groups, and explain how these are related to more well-known questions. The article is intended as a survey of known results that also offers some new…
We study the finite part of the sphere partition function of d-dimensional Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) as a function of exactly marginal couplings. In odd dimensions, this quantity is physical and independent of the exactly marginal…
Let $ \Omega \subset R^d $ have finite positive Lebesgue measure, and let $ \mathcal{L}^{2}(\Omega) $ be the corresponding Hilbert space of $ \mathcal{L}^{2} $-functions on $ \Omega $. We shall consider the exponential functions $…
We define and study entanglement of continuous positive definite functions on products of compact groups. We formulate and prove an infinite-dimensional analog of Horodecki Theorem, giving a necessary and sufficient criterion for…
We study semantic and syntactic properties of spherical orders and their elementary theories, including finite and dense orders and their theories. It is shown that theories of dense $n$-spherical orders are countably categorical and…
In this paper we consider Positive Definite functions on products $\Omega_{2q}\times\Omega_{2p}$ of complex spheres, and we obtain a condition, in terms of the coefficients in their disc polynomial expansions, which is necessary and…
This paper is concerned with the spectral characteristics of quaternionic positive definite functions on the real line. We generalize the Stone's theorem to the case of a right quaternionic linear one-parameter unitary group via two…
We provide an extension of Obata's theorem to Finsler geometry and establish some rigidity results based on a second order differential equation. Mainly, we prove that every complete connected Finsler manifold of positive constant flag…
It is a classical theorem that if a function is integrable along the boundary of the unit circle, then the function is the nontangential limit of a holomorphic function on the open disc if and only if its Fourier coefficients for…
We develop a general framework for isotropic functional Gaussian fields on the $d$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}$, where the field takes values in a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. We establish an operator-valued extension of…
We present sufficient condition for a family of positive definite kernels on a compact two-point homogeneous space to be strictly positive definite based on their representation as a series of spherical harmonics. The family analyzed is a…
In this article, we introduce and study the concept of $\textit{spherical-vectors}$, which can be perceived as a natural extension of the arguments of complex numbers in the context of quaternions. We initially establish foundational…
The covariance matrix function is characterized in this paper for a Gaussian or elliptically contoured vector random field that is stationary, isotropic, and mean square continuous on the compact two-point homogeneous space. Necessary and…
A collection of algorithms is described for numerically computing with smooth functions defined on the unit sphere. Functions are approximated to essentially machine precision by using a structure-preserving iterative variant of Gaussian…
