Spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics are useful in a variety of physical situations, including light scattering, nuclear modeling, signal processing, electromagnetic wave propagation, black hole perturbation theory in four and higher…
It is proved that harmonic functions are characterized by harmonicity of their spherical means, for which purpose the iterated spherical means are used. The similar characterization of solutions to the modified Helmholtz equation…
We compute euclidean coordinate space correlation functions in a holographic model of QCD. We concentrate, in particular, on channels that are related to the U(1)_A problem, the flavor-singlet axialvector, pseudoscalar meson, and…
Some basic geometric properties related to connectedness and topological dimension 0 are discussed, especially in connection with the ultrametric version of the triangle inequality.
The paper develops the fundamentals of quaternionic holomorphic curve theory. The holomorphic functions in this theory are conformal maps from a Riemann surface into the 4-sphere, i.e., the quaternionic projective line. Basic results such…
Given a monogenic function on the quaternionic algebra $\mathbb{H}$, the Clifford algebra $\mathbb{R}_n$ or the octonionic algebra $\mathbb{O}$ we prove that $|\nabla^m f|^\alpha$ is subharmonic for some $\alpha>0$ where $\nabla^m f$ is the…
In this note we devise and analyse well-posed variational formulations and operator theoretical methods for boundary value problems associated to the biharmonic operator. Of particular interest are Neumann type and over- and underdetermined…
We characterize homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex space forms which arise as critical points of a higher order energy functional. As a consequence, we obtain existence and non-existence results for $\mathbb{CP}^n$ and $\mathbb{CH}^n$,…
We study boundary values of harmonic functions in spaces of quasianalytic functionals and spaces of ultradistributions of non-quasianalytic type. As an application, we provide a new approach to H\"ormander's support theorem for…
We classify biharmonic submanifolds with certain geometric properties in Euclidean spheres. For codimension 1, we determine the biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most two distinct principal curvatures and the conformally flat biharmonic…
We present a detailed analysis of the symmetry properties of a four-quark wave function and its solution by means of a variational approach for simple Hamiltonians. We discuss several examples in the light and heavy-light meson sector.
We present two geometric interpretations for complex multivectors and determinants: a little known one in terms of square roots of volumes, and a new one which uses fractions of volumes and allows graphical representations. The fraction…
In these notes we give an interdisciplinary result which links the geometric concept of minimal surfaces with generalized harmonic functions.
First, we give the definition for quasi-nearly subharmonic functions, now for general, not necessarily nonnegative functions, unlike previously. We point out that our function class incudes, among others, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly…
The general purpose of this paper is to investigate the notion of "pluriharmonics" for the general potential theory associated to a convex cone $F\subset {\rm Sym}^2({\bf R}^n)$. For such $F$ there exists a maximal linear subspace $E\subset…
We characterize $p-$harmonic functions in the Heisenberg group in terms of an asymptotic mean value property, where $1<p<\infty$, following the scheme described in Manfredi et al. (2009) for the Euclidean case. The new tool that allows us…
The Clifford action on superspaces is analyzed with a view on generalized Dirac fields taking values in some Clifford supermodule. the stress is here on two principles: complexification and polarisation. For applications in field theory,…
In differential topology two smooth submanifolds $S_1$ and $S_2$ of euclidean space are said to be transverse if the tangent spaces at each common point together form a spanning set. The purpose of this article is to explore a much more…
We show that, in dimension three and higher, the space of harmonic functions vanishing on the cone defined by a generically chosen harmonic quadratic polynomial is two-dimensional. This phenomenon is surprisingly robust, generalizing to…
We consider a classical shape optimization problem for the eigenvalues of elliptic operators with homogeneous boundary conditions on domains in the $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. We survey recent results concerning the analytic dependence…
