We provide walks through dimensions for isotropic positive definite functions defined over complex spheres. We show that the analogues of Mont\'ee and Descente operators as proposed by Beatson and zu Castell [J. Approx. Theory 221 (2017),…

An analogue of Krein's extension theorem is proved for operator-valued positive definite functions on free groups. The proof gives also the parametrization of all extensions by means of a generalized type of Szego parameters. One singles…

With view to applications, we establish a correspondence between two problems: (i) the problem of finding continuous positive definite extensions of functions $F$ which are defined on open bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}$, on the…

Determining if a symmetric function is Schur-positive is a prevalent and, in general, a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper we study the Schur-positivity of a family of symmetric functions. Given a partition \lambda, we denote by…

In this paper, we give one possible definition for functions of several variables applied to endomorphisms of finite dimensional C-vector spaces. This definition is consistent with the usual notion of a function of a square matrix. Some…

Kohnert proposed the first monomial positive formula for Schubert polynomials as the generating polynomial for certain unit cell diagrams obtained from the Rothe diagram of a permutation. Billey, Jockusch and Stanley gave the first proven…

A well-known theorem of Quillen says that if $r(z,\bar{z})$ is a bihomogeneous polynomial on ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ positive on the sphere, then there exists $d$ such that $r(z,\bar{z}){\lVert z \rVert}^{2d}$ is a squared norm. We obtain…

We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if…

Not every positive functional defined on bi-variate polynomials of a prescribed degree bound is represented by the integration against a positive measure. We isolate a couple of conditions filling this gap, either by restricting the class…

An expression for the functional determinant on a sphere for a massive (scalar) field derived by Denef, Hartnoll and Sachdev using quasinormal modes is shown to exist already in the literature together with the multiplicative anomaly…

Using the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmuller spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces and some of their other complex geometric features, we prove a general theorem on maximization of homogeneous polynomial (in fact, more general…

We study the space, $R_m$, of $m$-symmetric functions consisting of polynomials that are symmetric in the variables $x_{m+1},x_{m+2},x_{m+3},\dots$ but have no special symmetry in the variables $x_1,\dots,x_m$. We obtain $m$-symmetric…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of normalized analytic functions $f$ in the open unit disk defined as $ \mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\} $ with $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$. A function $f\in\mathcal{A}$ is said to be starlike if…

In this research article, we formulate and prove multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem and integrated form of multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem for functions with values in sequentially complete locally convex spaces. Established…

It is known, that every function on the unit sphere in $\bbr^n$, which is invariant under rotations about some coordinate axis, is completely determined by a function of one variable. Similar results, when invariance of a function reduces…

The class of operator-valued functions which are homogeneous of degree one, holomorphic in the open right polyhalfplane, have positive semidefinite real parts there and take selfadjoint operator values at real points, and its subclass…

A weighted sums of squares decomposition of positive Borel measurable functions on a bounded Borel subset of the Euclidean space is obtained via duality from the spectral theorem for tuples of commuting self-adjoint operators. The analogous…

This paper introduces and develops the algebraic framework of moment polynomials, which are polynomial expressions in commuting variables and their formal mixed moments. Their positivity and optimization over probability measures supported…
