We study families of analytic and meromorphic functions with bounded generalized Schwarzian derivative $S_k(f)$. We show that these families are quasi-normal. Further, we investigate associated families, such as those formed by derivatives…

We exhibit a basis for the space of spherical characters of a distinguished supercuspidal representation $\pi$ of a connected reductive $p$-adic group, subject to the assumption that $\pi$ is obtained via induction from a representation of…

We consider a possibility to unify the methods of regularization, such as the renormalization group method, stochastic quantization etc., by the extension of the standard field theory of the square-integrable functions $\phi(b)\in…

Let X=H\G be a homogeneous spherical variety for a split reductive group G over the integers o of a p-adic field k, and K=G(o) a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup of G=G(k). We compute eigenfunctions ("spherical functions") on X=X(k)…

This paper presents an algorithmic method for generating random orthogonal matrices \(A\) that satisfy the property \(A^t S A = S\), where \(S\) is a fixed real invertible symmetric or skew-symmetric matrix. This method is significant as it…

In this pedagogically structured article, we describe a generalized harmonic formulation of the Einstein equations in spherical symmetry which is regular at the origin. The generalized harmonic approach has attracted significant attention…

We give closed product formulas for the irreducible characters of the symmetric groups related to rectangular `almost square' Young diagrams $p \times(p+\delta)$ for a fixed value of an integer $\delta$ and an arbitrary integer $p$.

First we recall a method of computing scalar products of eigenfunctions of a Sturm-Liouville operator. This method is then applied to Macdonald and Gegenbauer functions, which are eigenfunctions of the Bessel, resp. Gegenbauer operators.…

In this paper we study the determinant of irreducible representations of the generalized symmetric groups $\mathbb{Z}_r \wr S_n$. We give an explicit formula to compute the determinant of an irreducible representation of $\mathbb{Z}_r \wr…

We consider the variation of spherical characters in families. We formulate conjectures for the rationality and meromorphic property of spherical characters. As an example, we establish these conjectures in the unitary Gan-Gross-Prasad…

A classical result of Littlewood gives a factorisation for the Schur function at a set of variables "twisted" by a primitive $t$-th root of unity, characterised by the core and quotient of the indexing partition. While somewhat neglected,…

The theory of symmetric functions has been extended to the case where each variable is paired with an anticommuting one. The resulting expressions, dubbed superpolynomials, provide the natural N=1 supersymmetric version of the classical…

We give an explicit description of character sheaves for the symmetric pairs associated to inner involutions of the special linear groups. We make use of the general strategy given in [VX1] and central character consideration. We also…

The crossed channels of generalized reaction \gamma N - \gamma N have been considered. The transformation coefficients from the independent helicity amplitudes to the invariant functions are calculated. The explicit expressions for…

Let $F(n)$ be a connected and simply connected free 2-step nilpotent lie group and $K$ be a compact subgroup of Aut($F(n)$). We say that $(K,F(n))$ is a Gelfand pair when the set of integrable $K$-invariant functions on $F(n)$ forms an…

In 2010, V. Futorny and S. Ovsienko gave a realization of $U(\mathfrak{gl}_n)$ as a subalgebra of the ring of invariants of a certain noncommutative ring with respect to the action of $S_1\times S_2\times\cdots\times S_n$, where $S_j$ is…

The orthosymplectic supergroup OSp(m|2n) is introduced as the supergroup of isometries of flat Riemannian superspace R^{m|2n} which stabilize the origin. It also corresponds to the supergroup of isometries of the supersphere S^{m-1|2n}. The…

For a symmetric space (G,H), one is interested in understanding the vector space of H-invariant linear forms on a representation \pi of G. In particular an important question is whether or not the dimension of this space is bounded by one.…

In the first part of the paper we generalize a descent technique due to Harish-Chandra to the case of a reductive group acting on a smooth affine variety both defined over an arbitrary local field F of characteristic zero. Our main tool is…

In Guo and Peng's article [Spherically convex sets and spherically convex functions, J. Convex Anal. 28 (2021), 103--122], one defines the notions of spherical convex sets and functions on "general curved surfaces" in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$…
