We investigate fundamental properties of adjoint functors to the precomposition functor in the category of strict polynomial functors.
We present a simple proof of the well-known fact concerning the number of solutions of diagonal equations over finite fields. In a similar manner, we give an alternative proof of the recent result on generalizations of Carlitz equations. In…
We consider transcendental entire functions having doubly parabolic Baker domains, such that the Denjoy-Wolff point of the associated inner function is not a singularity. We describe in a very precise way the dynamics on the boundary from a…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. For $q$ odd, we investigate the planarity over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the family $$ f_{E,A,B,C,D}(X) := EX^2+ AX^{q+1}+ BX^{q^2+1}+CX^{2q} +DX^{2q^2}\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[X]. $$ Using…
We consider non-linear changes of variables and Fubini's theorem for certain integrals over a two-dimensional local field. An interesting example is presented in which imperfectness of a finite characteristic local field causes Fubini's…
We present a deformed algebra related to the q-exponential and the q-logarithm functions that emerge from nonextensive statistical mechanics. We also develop a q-derivative (and consistently a q-integral) for which the q-exponential is an…
We investigate exponential sums over singular binary quartic forms, proving an explicit formula for the finite field Fourier transform of this set. Our formula shares much in common with analogous formulas proved previously for other vector…
In this paper we construct a Dwork theory for general exponential sums over affinoids in Witt towers. Using this, we compute the degree of the $L$-function, its Hodge polygon and examine when the Hodge and Newton polygons coincide.
The function $y=\Phi_\alpha(x)$, the solution of $y^\alpha e^y=x$ for $x$ and $y$ large enough, has a series expansion in terms of $\ln x$ and $\ln\ln x$, with coefficients given in terms of Stirling cycle numbers. It is shown that this…
We establish the existence of extremizers for a Fourier restriction inequality on planar convex arcs without points with colinear tangents whose curvature satisfies a natural assumption. More generally, we prove that any extremizing…
There is a simple, multi-sheet Riemann surface associated with e_q(z)'s inverse function ln_q(w) for 0< q < 1. A principal sheet for ln_q(w) can be defined. However, the topology of the Riemann surface for ln_q(w) changes each time "q"…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. We prove an estimate for fractional parts of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ satisfying a certain divisibility condition…
In 1975, Don Zagier obtained a new version of the Kronecker limit formula for a real quadratic field which involved an interesting function $F(x)$ which is now known as the \emph{Herglotz function}. As demonstrated by Zagier, and very…
A complete classification of continuous, dually epi-translation invariant, and rotation equivariant valuations on convex functions is established. This characterizes the recently introduced functional Minkowski vectors, which naturally…
Finite dimensional subspaces spanned by exponential functions in the space of square integrable functions on a finite interval of the real line are considered. Their limiting positions are studied and described in terms of expo-polynomials.
Convergence and analytic extension are of fundamental importance in the mathematical construction and study of conformal field theory. We review some main convergence results, conjectures and problems in the construction and study of…
Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…
The concern of this paper is a famous combinatorial formula known under the name "exponential formula". It occurs quite naturally in many contexts (physics, mathematics, computer science). Roughly speaking, it expresses that the exponential…
The problem of representation of elements of weighted space of infinitely differentiable functions on real line by exponential series is considered.
The connection between q-analogs of special functions and representations of quantum algebras has been developed recently. It has led to advances in the theory of q-special functions that we here review.
