We consider a tuple $\Phi = (\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_m)$ of commuting maps on a finitary matroid $X$. We show that if $\Phi$ satisfies certain conditions, then for any finite set $A\subseteq X$, the rank of $\{\phi_1^{r_1}\cdots\phi_m^{r_m}(a):a…
We obtain weight functions associated with $q$-linear and $q$-quadratic lattices that yield discrete orthogonality with respect to a quasi-definite moment functional for the Askey-Wilson polynomials and all the polynomial sequences in the…
A $\mathbb{D}$-semi-classical weight is one which satisfies a particular linear, first order homogeneous equation in a divided-difference operator $\mathbb{D}$. It is known that the system of polynomials, orthogonal with respect to this…
An explicit structure relation for Askey-Wilson polynomials is given. This involves a divided q-difference operator which is skew symmetric with respect to the Askey-Wilson inner product and which sends polynomials of degree n to…
We study mapping properties of operators with kernels defined via a combination of continuous and discrete orthogonal polynomials, which provide an abstract formulation of quantum (q-) Fourier type systems. We prove Ismail conjecture…
This paper uses inspiration from Integral Geometry to connect Tame Geometry with Nonstandard Analysis. We omit binomial coefficients from the Steiner polynomial to define the \textit{intrinsic volume polynomial} $\Phi$, a valuation defined…
Let $F$ be a totally real number field and $E/F$ a totally imaginary quadratic extension of $F$. Let $\Pi$ be a cohomological, conjugate self-dual cuspidal automorphic representation of $GL_n(\mathbb A_E)$. Under a certain non-vanishing…
By systematically applying ten inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(1) to the published database of all such sums, 66 new sums are obtained. Many results extracted from the literature are shown to be special cases…
By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many…
In this paper we present an addition to Askey's scheme of q-hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials involving classes of q-special functions which do not consist of polynomials only. The special functions are q-analogues of the Jacobi and…
We study biorthogonal functions related to basic hypergeometric integrals with coupled continuous and discrete components. Such integrals appear as superconformal indices for three-dimensional quantum field theories and also in the context…
We study a difference Riccati equation $\Phi(x) + \rho(x)/\Phi(x-\omega) = v(x)$ with $1-$periodic continuos coefficients. Using continued fraction theory we investigate a problem of existence of continuos solutions for this equation. It is…
In this survey, we explore how superorthogonality amongst functions in a sequence $f_1,f_2,f_3,\ldots$ results in direct or converse inequalities for an associated square function. We distinguish between three main types of…
We study matrix three term relations for orthogonal polynomials in two variables constructed from orthogonal polynomials in one variable. Using the three term recurrence relation for the involved univariate orthogonal polynomials, the…
Conformal multiplets of $\phi$ and $\phi^3$ recombine at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point, as a consequence of the equations of motion. Using this fact and other constraints from conformal symmetry, we reproduce the lowest nontrivial order…
Recently established rationality of correlation functions in a globally conformal invariant quantum field theory satisfying Wightman axioms is used to construct a family of soluble models in 4-dimensional Minkowski space-time. We consider…
This study presents miscellaneous properties of pseudo-factorials, which are numbers whose recurrence relation is a twisted form of that of usual factorials. These numbers are associated with special elliptic functions, most notably, a…
In previous papers, we discussed the recurrence relations of the multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials of the Laguerre, Jacobi, Wilson and Askey-Wilson types. In this paper we explore those of the Racah and $q$-Racah types. For the…
We study explicit continued fraction expansions for certain series. Some of these expansions have symmetry that generalizes some remarkable examples discovered independently by Kmosek and Shallit. Furthermore, we prove the following…
Motivated by recent developments in the metrical theory of continued fractions for real numbers concerning the growth of consecutive partial quotients, we consider its analogue over the field of formal Laurent series. Let $A_n(x)$ be the…
