It is known that at least ten equivalent definitions of the fractional Laplacian exist in an unbounded domain. Here we derive a further equivalent definition that is based on the Mellin transform and it can be used when the fractional…

We consider the inverse problem for the $2$-dimensional weighted local Radon transform $R_m[f]$, where $f$ is supported in $y\geq x^2$ and $R_m[f](\xi,\eta)=\int f(x, \xi x + \eta) m(\xi, \eta, x)\,\text{d} x$ is defined near…
Let $G\subset \C P^n$ be a linearly convex compact with smooth boundary, $D={\C}P^n\setminus G$, and let $D^* \subset (\C P^n)^*$ be the dual domain. Then for an algebraic, not necessarily reduced, complete intersection subvariety $V$ of…

Let M be a von Neumann algebra of type II_1 which is also a complemented subspace of B(H). We establish an algebraic criterion, which ensures that M is an injective von Neumann algebra. As a corollary we show that if M is a complemented…
The classical (m,k)-Landen transform F_{m,k} is a self-map of the field of rational functions C(z) obtained by forming a weighted average of a rational function over twists by m'th roots of unity. Identifying the set of rational maps of…
We present a novel analysis of a Radon transform, $R$, which maps an $L^2$ function of compact support to its integrals over smooth surfaces of revolution with centers on an embedded hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Using microlocal…
The Fourier coefficients F(t) of a function f on a compact symmetric space U/K are given by integration of f against matrix coefficients of irreducible representations of U. The coefficients depend on a spectral parameter t, which…
For a Schwartz function $f$ on the plane and a non-zero $v\in\ZR^2$ define the Hilbert transform of $f$ in the direction $v$ to be $$ H_vf(x)=\text{p.v.}\int_\ZR f(x-vy) \frac{dy}y $$ Let $\zeta$ be a Schwartz function with frequency…
