In this paper, we consider Muttalib-Borodin ensemble of Laguerre type, a determinantal point process over $[0,\infty)$ which depends on the varying weights $x^{\alpha}e^{-nV(x)}$, $\alpha>-1$, and a parameter $\theta$. For $\theta$ being a…
Let W be an affine PI algebra over a field of characteristic zero graded by a finite group G. We show that there exist $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2}\in\mathbb{R}, \beta\in\frac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}$, and $l\in\mathbb{N}$ such that…
