We consider charged spherically symmetric static solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$. If $r$ denotes the area radius, $m_g$ and $q$ the gravitational mass and charge of a sphere with…
We provide a proof of effective uniformization for nearly round 2-spheres, utilizing an identity related to the third-order differential of the conformal factor. This identity is connected to the geometry of the embedded spacelike surface…
For $q$ a prime power and $\phi$ a rational function with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_q$, let $p(q,\phi)$ be the proportion of $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that is periodic with respect to $\phi$. And if $d$ is a positive integer, let $Q_d$…

Recently, Theophilou (J. Chem.Phys {\bf 149} 074104 (2018)) showed that a set of spherically symmetric densities determines uniquely the external potential in molecules and solids. Here, spherically symmetric Kohn-Sham-like equations are…
We use the weighted integral form of spherical Bessel functions, and introduce a new analytical set of complete and biorthogonal potential--density basis functions. The potential and density functions of the new set have finite central…
A spherical conical metric $g$ on a surface $\Sigma$ is a metric of constant curvature $1$ with finitely many isolated conical singularities. The uniformization problem for such metrics remains largely open when at least one of the cone…
A phase of massive gravity free from pathologies can be obtained by coupling the metric to an additional spin-two field. We study the gravitational field produced by a static spherically symmetric body, by finding the exact solution that…
We describe several classes of holomorphic functions of positive real part on the unit ball; each is characterized by an operator-valued Herglotz formula. Motivated by results of J.E. McCarthy and M. Putinar, we define a family of weighted…
We give a general expression of spherical functions on $p$-adic homogeneous spaces of $G$, based on data of $G$ and functional equations of spherical functions. Then, we show a unified method to obtain functional equations of spherical…
We prove a local version of a recently established theorem by Myroshnychenko, Ryabogin and the second named author. More specifically, we show that if $n\geq 3$, $g:\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\to\mathbb{R}$ is an even bounded measurable function, $U$…
