Since 2006 the theory of slice hyperholomorphic functions and the related spectral theory on the S-spectrum have had a very fast development. This new spectral theory based on the S-spectrum has applications, for example, in the formulation…

We say that a formal power series $\sum a_n z^n$ with rational coefficients is a 2-function if the numerator of the fraction $a_{n/p}-p^2 a_n$ is divisible by $p^2$ for every prime number $p$. One can prove that 2-functions with rational…

We determine the graded decompositions of fusion products of finite-dimensional irreducible representations for simple Lie algebras of rank two. Moreover, we give generators and relations for these representations and obtain as a…

Second order partial differential equations which describe spherical surfaces (ss) or pseudospherical surfaces (pss) are considered. These equations are equivalent to the structure equations of a metric with Gaussian curvature $K = 1$ or $K…

We study the Schubert calculus of the affine Grassmannian Gr of the symplectic group. The integral homology and cohomology rings of Gr are identified with dual Hopf algebras of symmetric functions, defined in terms of Schur's P and…

We calculate the partition function of the $SU(N)$ ( and $U(N)$) generalized $YM_2$ theory defined on an arbitrary Riemann surface. The result which is expressed as a sum over irreducible representations generalizes the Rusakov formula for…

We demonstrate how formulas that express Hecke-type double-sums in terms of theta functions and Appell--Lerch functions -- the building blocks of Ramanujan's mock theta functions -- can be used to give general string function formulas for…

We prove a result on the representation of squares by second degree polynomials in the field of $p$-adic meromorphic functions in order to solve positively B\"uchi's $n$ squares problem in this field (that is, the problem of the existence…

We obtain a presentation of quantum Schur algebras (over the field Q(v)) by generators and relations. This presentation is compatible with the usual presentation of the quantized universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra gl(2). We…

We define a number of related combinatorial objects, each of which possesses a surprising symmetry. We include several applications such as a combinatorial explanation for certain fixed points of the involution $\omega$ on the ring of…

A four-term recurrence relation for squared spherical Bessel functions is shown to yield closed-form expressions for several types of finite weighted sums of these functions. The resulting sum rules, which may contain an arbitrarily large…

We define exact functors from categories of Harish-Chandra modules for certain real classical groups to finite-dimensional modules over an associated graded affine Hecke algebra with parameters. We then study some of the basic properties of…

We prove a spectral summation formula for the product of four Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight cusp forms in Kohnen's subspace. The other side of the formula involves certain generalized class numbers of pairs of quadratic forms…

There exist a number of well known multiplicative generating functions for series of Schur functions. Amongst these are some related to the dual Cauchy identity whose expansion coefficients are rather simple, and in some cases periodic in…

We construct a lift of Schur's Q-functions to the peak algebra of the symmetric group, called the noncommutative Schur Q-functions, and extract from them a new natural basis with several nice properties such as the positive right-Pieri…

The universal enveloping algebra ${\mathcal U}({\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n})$ of ${\widehat{\frak{gl}}_n}$ was realized in \cite[Ch. 6]{DDF} using affine Schur algebras. In particular some explicit multiplication formulas in affine Schur…

We apply a theorem of Geronimus to derive some new formulas connecting Schur functions with orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. The applications include the description of the associated measures and a short proof of Boyd's result…

We discuss computations of the Thom polynomials of singularity classes of maps in the basis of Schur functions. We survey the known results about the bound on the length and a rectangle containment for partitions appearing in such Schur…

By studying certain kind of centralizer algebras of the affine Schur algebra $\widetilde{S}(n,r)$ we show that $\widetilde{S}(n,r)$ is Noetherian and we determine its center. Assuming $n\geq r$, we show that $\widetilde{S}(n+1,r)$ is Morita…

We study zeta functions enumerating finite-dimensional irreducible complex linear representations of compact p-adic analytic and of arithmetic groups. Using methods from p-adic integration, we show that the zeta functions associated to…
