The relation between representations and positive definite functions is a key concept in harmonic analysis on topological groups. Recently this relation has been studied on topological groupoids. This is the first in a series of papers in…
We give a characterization of positive definite integrable functions on a product of two Gelfand pairs as an integral of positive definite functions on one of the Gelfand pairs with respect to the Plancherel measure on the dual of the other…
Over any partially ordered abelian group whose positive cone is closed in an appropriate sense and has finitely many faces, modules that satisfy a weak finiteness condition admit finite primary decompositions. This conclusion rests on the…
Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…
A class of negative definite kernels is defined in terms of measure spaces. Using this concept, property (T) for a countable group $\G$ is characterized in terms of measure preserving actions of $\G$, as follows. If a set $S$ is translated…
We consider a class of non-locally compact groups on which one may define a left-invariant, finitely additive measure taking values in some finitely generated extension of the field $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers. In particular, we recover…
Work on generalizations of the Cohen-Lenstra and Cohen-Martinet heuristics has drawn attention to probability measures on the space of isomorphism classes of profinite groups. As is common in probability theory, it would be desirable to…
We present a method for constructing global holomorphic peak functions from local holomorphic support functions for broad classes of unbounded domains. As an application, we establish a method for showing the positivity and completeness of…
We study non-linear functionals, including quasi-linear functionals, p-conic quasi-linear functionals, d-functionals, r-functionals, and their relationships to deficient topological measures and topological measures on locally compact…
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian topological group. For locally bounded measurable functions $\varphi: G\to\Bbb {C}$ we discuss notions of spectra for $\varphi$ relative to subalgebras of $L^{1}(G)$. In particular we study polynomials…
For a locally compact group $G$, the first-named author considered the closed subspace $a_0(G)$ which is generated by the pure positive definite functions. In many cases $a_0(G)$ is itself an algebra. We illustrate using Heisenburg groups…
Functionals (i.e. functions of functions) are widely used in quantum field theory and solid-state physics. In this paper, functionals are given a rigorous mathematical framework and their main properties are described. The choice of the…
In this paper, we introduce a geometrically stylized arithmetic cohomology for number fields. Based on such a cohomology, we define and study new yet genuine non-abelian zeta functions for number fields, using an intersection stability.
Let $X$ be an $F$-finite smooth scheme of essentially finite type over a perfect field. This article proves the existence of $b$-functions for locally finitely generated unit $F$-modules when equipped with their induced…
In this paper we investigate the following questions. Let $\mu, \nu$ be two regular Borel measures of finite total variation. When do we have a constant $C$ satisfying $$\int f d\nu \le C \int f d\mu$$ whenever $f$ is a continuous…
As a branch of algebraic and differential topology of manifolds, the theory of Morse functions and their higher dimensional versions or fold maps and its application to algebraic and differential topology of manifolds is fundamental,…
Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…
The classical criterion for compactness in Banach spaces of functions can be reformulated into a simple tightness condition in the time-frequency domain. This description preserves more explicitly the symmetry between time and frequency…
A version of group cohomology for locally compact groups and Polish modules has previously been developed using a bar resolution restricted to measurable cochains. That theory was shown to enjoy analogs of most of the standard algebraic…
This is an introduction to the geometry of compact Riemann surfaces, largely following the books Farkas-Kra, Fay, Mumford Tata lectures. 1) Defining Riemann surfaces with atlases of charts, and as locus of solutions of algebraic equations.…
