In this paper we introduce probability-preserving convolution algebras on cones of positive semidefinite matrices over one of the division algebras $\b F = \b R, \b C$ or $\b H$ which interpolate the convolution algebras of radial bounded…

We use the Poisson kernel of the continuous $q$-Hermite polynomials to introduces families of integral operators, which are semigroups of linear operators. We describe the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of one family of operators. The…

We present new proofs and generalizations of unimodality of the q-binomial coefficients \binom{n}{k}_q as polynomials in q. We use an algebraic approach by interpreting the differences between numbers of certain partitions as Kronecker…

Let $n,p,k$ be three positive integers. We prove that the rational fractions of $q$: $${n \brack k}_{q} {}_3\phi_{2} [ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}| q;q^{k+1}]\quad\textrm{and}\quad q^{(n-p)p}\qbi{n}{k}{q} {}_3\phi_2[…

The q-binomial coefficients are the polynomial cousins of the traditional binomial coefficients, and a number of identities for binomial coefficients can be translated into this polynomial setting. For instance, the familiar vanishing of…

We use the method of tiling to give elementary combinatorial proofs of some celebrated $q$-series identities, such as Jacobi triple product identity, Rogers-Ramanujan identities, and some identities of Rogers. We give a tiling proof of the…

By applying an integral representation for $q^{k^{2}}$ we systematically derive a large number of new Fourier and Mellin transform pairs and establish new integral representations for a variety of $q$-functions and polynomials that…

For a root system R, a field K and a "choice of coefficients in K" we define a category of graded spaces with operators and study some of its properties. Then we assume that the coefficients are given by quantum binomials. We use basic…

Using multiple q-integrals and a determinant evaluation, we establish a multivariable extension of Bailey's nonterminating 10-phi-9 transformation. From this result, we deduce new multivariable terminating 10-phi-9 transformations, 8-phi-7…

We obtain connection coefficients between $q$-binomial and $q$-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform $q$-binomial identities into a $q$-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we…

We establish a noncommutative generalisation of the Borel-Weil theorem for the Heckenberger-Kolb calculi of the quantum Grassmannians. The result is formulated in the framework of quantum principal bundles and noncommutative complex…

We use generating functions to express orthogonality relations in the form of $q$-beta integrals. The integrand of such a $q$-beta integral is then used as a weight function for a new set of orthogonal or biorthogonal

The paper investigates the properties of certain biorthogonal polynomials appearing in a specific simultaneous Hermite-Pade' approximation scheme. Associated to any totally positive kernel and a pair of positive measures on the positive…

We prove polynomial boson-fermion identities for the generating function of the number of partitions of $n$ of the form $n=\sum_{j=1}^{L-1} j f_j$, with $f_1\leq i-1$, $f_{L-1} \leq i'-1$ and $f_j+f_{j+1}\leq k$. The bosonic side of the…

We generalize the positivity conjecture on (Kauffman bracket) skein algebras to Roger--Yang skein algebras. To generalize it, we use explicit polynomials like Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind to give candidates of positive bases.…

The aim of the present study is to establish some properties for q-Bessel matrix polynomials such as several q-differential matrix equation, q-differential matrix relations and q-recurrence matrix relations, and integral representation,…

We first prove that if $a$ has a prime factor not dividing $b$ then there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\binom {an+bn} {an}$ is not divisible by $bn+1$. This confirms a recent conjecture of Z.-W. Sun. Moreover, we…

One object of interest in random matrix theory is a family of point ensembles (random point configurations) related to various systems of classical orthogonal polynomials. The paper deals with a one--parametric deformation of these…

In this paper, we study the binomial sum $S_{n}(q):=% \overset{n}{\underset{k=0}{\sum }}a_{k}\binom{n}{k}\left( 1-q\right) ^{k}q^{n-k}$ for a given sequence $\left( a_{n}\right) $ of real or complex numbers. We express $S_{n}(q)$ in…
