The zero locus of a bivariate polynomial $P(x,y)=0$ defines a compact Riemann surface $\Sigma$. The fundamental second kind differential is a symmetric $1\otimes 1$ form on $\Sigma\times \Sigma$ that has a double pole at coinciding points…
In the first part of the paper kernels are constructed which meromorphically extend the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials in their degrees. In the second part of the paper the kernels associated with rank one root systems are used to define…
Motivated by the construction of Bach flat neutral signature Riemannian extensions, we study the space of parallel trace free tensors of type $(1,1)$ on an affine surface. It is shown that the existence of such a parallel tensor field is…
Using a Morse function and a Witten deformation argument, we obtain an upper bound for the dimension of the space of divergence-free symmetric Killing $p$-tensors on a closed Riemannian manifold, and calculate it explicitly for $p=2$.
Determinants of the second-rank tensors stand useful in forming generally invariant terms as in the case of the volume element of the gravitational actions. Here, we extend the action of the matter fields by an arbitrary function $f(D)$ of…
A classical result due to Bochner characterizes the classical orthogonal polynomial systems as solutions of a second-order eigenvalue equation. We extend Bochner's result by dropping the assumption that the first element of the orthogonal…

Tensors with unit Frobenius norm are fundamental objects in many fields, including scientific computing and quantum physics, which are able to represent normalized eigenvectors and pure quantum states. While the tensor train decomposition…
As a difference with the positive-definite Riemannian case, in the Lorentzian case there exists proper second-order symmetric spacetimes, i.e., those with vanishing second covariant derivative of the Riemannian tensor…
We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition in order that a semi-plane of the form $\Re(s)>r$, $r\in \mathbb{R}$, is free of zeros of a given Dirichlet polynomial. The result may be considered a natural generalization of a well-known…
In this paper, we study tensor completions $G \otimes_{\mathcal{N}_{2,R}} R$ of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups $G$ of class $2$ in the quasivariety $\mathcal{N}_{2,R}$ of $R$-exponential 2-nilpotent groups over a binomial…
We investigate and derive second solutions to linear homogeneous second-order difference equations using a variety of methods, in each case going beyond the purely formal solution and giving explicit expressions for the second solution. We…
This paper is devoted to a complete parametric study of Liouvillian solutions of the general trace-free second order differential equation with a Laurent polynomial coefficient. This family of equations, for fixed orders at $0$ and $\infty$…
Higher-order tensors appear in various areas of mechanics as well as physics, medicine or earth sciences. As these tensors are highly complex, most are not well understood. Thus, the analysis and the visualization process form a highly…
We introduce an exact category of torsion-free constructible tori and an abelian category of constructible tori over a Dedekind scheme with perfect residue fields. The first one has an explicit description as $2$-term complexes of smooth…
We present the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of a theory for spin 2 fields. The construction is developed in flat space-time. The construction in curved space-time is conceptually straightforward, although it is not unique. The…
We study Rainich-like conditions for symmetric and trace-free tensors T. For arbitrary even rank we find a necessary and sufficient differential condition for a tensor to satisfy the source free field equation. For rank 4, in a generic…
Two essential properties of energy-momentum tensors T_{\mu\nu} are their positivity and conservation. This is mathematically formalized by, respectively, an energy condition, as the dominant energy condition, and the vanishing of their…
A tensor defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ has low analytic rank if the distribution of its values differs significantly from the uniform distribution. An order $d$ tensor has partition rank 1 if it can be written as a product of two…
Motivated by the connection to the pair correlation of the Riemann zeros, we investigate the second derivative of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta function, in particular the zeros of this function. Theorem 1 gives a zero-free region.…
