A numerical semigroup $S$ is a subset of the non-negative integers containing $0$ that is closed under addition. The Hilbert series of $S$ (a formal power series equal to the sum of terms $t^n$ over all $n \in S$) can be expressed as a…

For any real number $s$, let $\sigma_s$ be the generalized divisor function, i.e., the arithmetic function defined by $\sigma_s(n) := \sum_{d \, \mid \, n} d^s$, for all positive integers $n$. We prove that for any $r > 1$ the topological…

In the present paper, for a given (possibly, infinite) strongly connected digraph $\cal{D},$ we consider the class $\cal{S}_{<}({\cal D})$ of all truthly substochastic weightings of ${\cal D}$ (here, the word "truthly" means that there…

For each odd prime power q, we construct an infinite sequence of rational functions f(X) in F_q(X), each of which is exceptional, which means that for infinitely many n the map c-->f(c) induces a bijection of P^1(F_{q^n}). Moreover, each of…

Given any non-polynomial $G$-function $F(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty A\_k z^k$ of radius of convergence $R$, we consider the $G$-functions $F\_n^{[s]}(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty \frac{A\_k}{(k+n)^s}z^k$ for any integers $s\geq 0$ and $n\geq 1$. For…

We prove an analog of the Tits alternative for rational functions. In particular, we show that if $S$ is a finitely generated semigroup of rational functions over the complex numbers, then either $S$ has polynomially bounded growth or $S$…

The paper is about methods of discrete Fourier analysis in the context of Weyl group symmetry. Three families of class functions are defined on the maximal torus of each compact simply connected semisimple Lie group $G$. Such functions can…

We examine the rationality conjecture which states that (a) the formal power series $\sum_{r\ge 1} \tc_{r+1}(X)\cdot x^r$ represents a rational function of $x$ with a single pole of order 2 at $x=1$ and (b) the leading coefficient of the…

We consider a certain linear combination $S(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{y};I;\Delta)$ of zeta-functions of root systems, where $\Delta$ is a root system of rank $r$ and $I\subset\{1,2,\ldots,r\}$. Showing two different expressions of…

In a finite distributive lattice $\L$ we define two functions $s(\alpha)=|\{\delta \in \mathcal{L} | \delta \leq \alpha \}|$ and $l(\alpha)=|\{\delta \in \mathcal{L} | \delta \geq \alpha \}|$. In this present article we prove that the sum…

Given a semigroup $S$ equipped with an involutive automorphism $\sigma$, we determine the complex-valued solutions $f,g,h$ of the functional equation \begin{equation*}f(x\sigma(y))=f(x)g(y)+g(x)f(y)+h(x)h(y),\,\,x,y\in S,\end{equation*} in…

We consider the group $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ of isometries of a semi-homogeneous tree $T=T_{q_+,q_-}$ with valencies $q_+ +1$ and $q_- +1$ and its two orbits $V_+$, $V_-$ respectively. We make use of the action of $\mathrm{Aut} (T)$ to equip the…

The polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem implies that, for any $\delta \in (0,1)$, any family $\{P_1,\ldots, P_m\} \subset \mathbb{Z}[y]$ of nonconstant polynomials with constant term zero, and any sufficiently large $N$, every subset of…

Let A be a commutative Banach algebra such that uA = {0} for u $\in$ A \ {0} which possesses dense principal ideals. The purpose of the paper is to give a general framework to define F (--$\lambda$1$\Delta$T 1 ,. .. , --$\lambda$ k…

We study the problem of representing multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients, which are nonnegative and strictly positive on finite semialgebraic sets, using rational sums of squares. We focus on the case of finite semialgebraic…

For any $q\in\mathbb{R}$, let $A:=\left(\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 1\\0 & 1\end{smallmatrix}\right), B_q:=\left(\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 0\\q & 1\end{smallmatrix}\right)$ and let $G_q:=\langle…

Let $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$ be the tensor algebra of a $W^{*}$-correspondence $E$ over a $W^{*}$-algebra $M$. In earlier work, we showed that the completely contractive representations of $\mathcal{T}_{+}(E)$, whose restrictions to $M$ are…

Let R be the ring of S-integers of an algebraic function field (in one variable) over a perfect field, where S is finite and not empty. It is shown that for every positive integer N there exist elements of R that can not be written as a sum…

A numbering of a countable family $S$ is a surjective map from the set of natural numbers $\omega$ onto $S$. The paper studies Rogers semilattices, i.e. upper semilattices induced by the reducibility between numberings, for families…

Let $S$ be a unital ring, $S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ a skew polynomial ring where $\sigma$ is an injective endomorphism and $\delta$ a left $\sigma$-derivation, and suppose $f\in S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ has degree $m$ and an invertible leading…
