We use the Dwork-Frobenius operator to prove an integrality result for $A$-hypergeometric series whose coefficients are factorial ratios. As a special case, we generalize one direction of a classical result of Landau on the integrality of…

We give a complete classification of a certain family of step functions related to the Nyman--Beurling approach to the Riemann hypothesis and previously studied by V. I. Vasyunin. Equivalently, we completely describe when certain sequences…

The hypergeometric zeta function is defined in terms of the zeros of the Kummer function M(a, a + b; z). It is established that this function is an entire function of order 1. The classical factorization theorem of Hadamard gives an…

A new class of bivariate poly-analytic Hermite polynomials is considered. We show that they are realizable as the Fourier-Wigner transform of the univariate complex Hermite functions and form a nontrivial orthogonal basis of the classical…

We use the properties of Hermite and Kamp\'e de F\'eriet polynomials to get closed forms for the repeated derivatives of functions whose argument is a quadratic or higher-order polynomial. The results we obtain are extended to product of…

This paper is partly a survey of known results on quadratic forms that are hard to find in the literature. Our main focus is a twisted form of a construction due to Bezout. This skew Bezoutian is a symplectic (resp. quadratic) space…

The present note considers a certain family of sums indexed by the set of fixed length compositions of a given number. The sums in question cannot be realized as weighted compositions. However they can be be related to the hypergeometric…

We consider a certain definite integral involving the product of two classical hypergeometric functions having complicated arguments. We show in this paper the surprising fact that this integral does not depend on the parameters of the…

The object of this paper is to investigate the certain results involving Bateman's matrix polynomials for integral index. We obtain some properties, integral representation and recurrence relations for hypergeometric matrix function. We…

We consider a quaternionic analogue of the univariate complex Hermite polynomials and study some of their analytic properties in some detail. We obtain their integral representation as well as the operational formulas of exponential and…

This paper deals with some special integral transforms of Bargmann-Fock type in the setting of quaternionic valued slice hyperholomorphic and Cauchy-Fueter regular functions. The construction is based on the well-known Fueter mapping…

We develop an underlying relationship between the theory of rational approximations and that of isomonodromic deformations. We show that a certain duality in Hermite's two approximation problems for functions leads to the Schlesinger…

For a generic value of the central charge, we prove the holomorphic factorization of partition functions for free superconformal fields which are defined on a compact Riemann surface without boundary. The partition functions are viewed as…

Using an integral of a hypergeometric function, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for irrationality of Euler's constant $\gamma$. The proof is by reduction to known irrationality criteria for $\gamma$ involving a Beukers-type…

Finite hypergeometric functions are complex valued functions on finite fields which are the analogue of the classical analytic hypergeometric functions. From the work of N.M.Katz it follows that their values are traces of Frobenius on…

We use generating functions to express orthogonality relations in the form of $q$-beta integrals. The integrand of such a $q$-beta integral is then used as a weight function for a new set of orthogonal or biorthogonal

In this paper we study those polynomials orthogonal with respect to a particular weight over the union of disjoint intervals first introduced by N.I. Akhiezer, via a reformulation as a matrix factorization or Riemann-Hilbert problem. This…

We present a new expansion of the zeta-function of Riemann. The current formalism -- which combines both the idea of interpolation with constraints and the concept of hypergeometric functions -- can, in a natural way, be generalised within…

The generalization of the factorization method performed by Mielnik [J. Math. Phys. {\bf 25}, 3387 (1984)] opened new ways to generate exactly solvable potentials in quantum mechanics. We present an application of Mielnik's method to…

A unifying scheme of classical special functions of hypergeometric type obeying orthogonality or biorthogonality relations is described. It expands the Askey scheme of classical orthogonal polynomials and its $q$-analogue based on the…
