This primer is an introduction to Conformal Field Theory in $D\geq3$. It is designed to introduce the reader to many of the important foundational concepts and methods in CFT. In it, pig picture ideas are prioritized over technical details,…

In their recent book on combinatorial identities, Quaintance and Gould devoted one chapter to Melzak's identity. We give new proofs for this identity and its generalization.

We introduce and study completely-extendable conformal intertwining algebras. Based on results obtained in other papers, various examples are given. Duals of these algebras are constructed and nondegenerate such algebras are defined. We…

We examine some of the standard features of primary fields in the framework of a $q$-deformed conformal field theory. By introducing a $q$-OPE between the energy momentum tensor and a primary field, we derive the $q$-analog of the conformal…

We provide a short proof of an algebraic identity. For integers $n\ge 2$ and variables $x,y,z$, it represents $(x^n+y^n-z^n)$ as a value of the quadratic form $\mathcal A^2+\mathcal B^2-\mathcal C^2$ after multiplication by an explicit…

We search an identity basis for the adjoint Lie algebra of the algebra $M_{1,1}(K)$ over a field, where $K$ is either the infinite generated Grassmann algebra $E$ or $E^1$, the variant of the algebra with $1$. In particular, we prove that…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field, and fix a $q\in\mathbb{F}$. The $q$-deformed Heisenberg algebra $\mathcal{H}(q)$ is the unital associative algebra over $\mathbb{F}$ with generators $A$, $B$ and a relation which asserts that $AB - qBA$ is the…

Let $q$ be a quadratic form over a field $F$ and let $L$ be a field extension of $F$ of odd degree. It is a classical result that if $q_L$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic) then $q$ is isotropic (resp. hyperbolic). In turn, given two…

I revisit an automated proof of Andrews' pentagonal number theorem found by Riese. I uncover a simple polynomial identity hidden behind his proof. I explain how to use this identity to prove Andrews' result along with a variety of new…

We prove an interesting identity for the sum of determinants, which is a generalization of the sum of a geometric progression. The proof is quite long and a number of other identities are proved along the way. Some of the more elementary…

We propose a new $q$-series formula for a character of parafermion conformal field theories associated to arbitrary non-twisted affine Lie algebra $\widehat{g}$. We show its natural origin from a thermodynamic Bethe ansatz analysis…

In this article we shows some results about algebra with the group of units having special polynomial identity.

In a recent paper by L. Fel two new identities for the degree of syzygies are given. We present an algebraic proof of them, using only basic homological algebra tools. We also extend these results.

$q$-Analogues of the coefficients of $x^a$ in the expansion of $\prod_{j=1}^N (1+x+...+x^j)^{L_j}$ are proposed. Useful properties, such as recursion relations, symmetries and limiting theorems of the ``$q$-supernomial coefficients'' are…

We develop the basic formalism of complex $q$-analysis to study the solutions of second order $q$-difference equations which reduce, in the $q\rightarrow 1$ limit, to the ordinary Laplace equation in Euclidean and Minkowski space. After…

Hopf algebra structures on the extended q-superplane and its differential algebra are defined. An algebra of forms which are obtained from the generators of the extended q-superplane is introduced and its Hopf algebra structure is given

In this paper we derive new identities satisfied by Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind and big q-Jacobi polynomials. An immediate benefit of the derived identities is the achievement of closed-form expressions for the Laurent…

In this paper we derive some interesting identities arising from the orhtogonality of gegenbauer polynomials.

We use $q$-binomial theorem to prove three new polynomial identities involving $q$-trinomial coefficients. We then use summation formulas for the $q$-trinomial coefficients to convert our identities into another set of three polynomial…

We propose and prove a new polynomial identity that implies Schur's partition theorem. We give combinatorial interpretations of some of our expressions in the spirit of Kur\c{s}ung\"oz. We also present some related polynomial and $q$-series…
