A fertile field of research in theoretical computer science investigates the representation of general recursive functions in intensional type theories. Among the most successful approaches are: the use of wellfounded relations,…

We present a simple and accessible method which uses contour integration methods to derive formulae for functional determinants. To make the presentation as clear as possible we illustrate the general ideas using the Laplacian with…

Recently, functional It\=o calculus has been introduced and developed in finite dimension for functionals of continuous semimartingales. With different techniques, we develop a functional It\=o calculus for functionals of Hilbert…

The purpose of this article is to develop a theory behind the occurrence of "path-integral" kernels in the study of extended determinantal point processes and non-intersecting line ensembles. Our first result shows how determinants…

We use the path integral approach to a two-dimensional noncommutative harmonic oscillator to derive the partition function of the system at finite temperature. It is shown that the result based on the Lagrangian formulation of the problem,…

This is a tutorial introduction to the functional analysis mathematics needed in many physical problems, such as in waves in continuous media. Functional analysis takes us beyond finite matrices, allowing us to work with infinite sets of…

Since they were introduced in the 1990s, Lie group integrators have become a method of choice in many application areas. These include multibody dynamics, shape analysis, data science, image registration and biophysical simulations. Two…

Convolution admits a natural formulation as a functional operation on matrices. Motivated by the functional and entrywise calculi, this leads to a framework in which convolution defines a matrix transform that preserves positivity. Within…

Noncommutative rational functions, i.e., elements of the universal skew field of fractions of a free algebra, can be defined through evaluations of noncommutative rational expressions on tuples of matrices. This interpretation extends their…

In the path integral formulation of the evolution of an open quantum system coupled to a Gaussian, non-interacting environment, the dynamical contribution of the latter is encoded in an object called the influence functional. Here, we…

In this expository paper we describe the pathwise behaviour of the integral functional $\int_0^t f(Y_u)\,\dd u$ for any $t\in[0,\zeta]$, where $\zeta$ is (a possibly infinite) exit time of a one-dimensional diffusion process $Y$ from its…

Fractional integral operators connected with real-valued scalar functions of matrix argument are applied in problems of mathematics, statistics and natural sciences. In this article we start considering the case of a Gauss hypergeometric…

The generating functional for scalar theories admits a representation which is dual with respect to the one introduced by Schwinger, interchanging the role of the free and interacting terms. It maps $\int V(\delta_J)$ and $J\Delta J$ to…

We define and study multivariate exponential functions, symmetric with respect to the alternating group A_n, which is a subgroup of the permutation (symmetric) group S_n. These functions are connected with multivariate exponential…

We use results about Fourier coefficients appearing in [T] (and some more obtained here), to obtain information for certain among the integrals of the form $$I=\int_{GL_n(\kkk)Z_n(\A)\s GL_n(\A)}\varphi(g)\phi(g)\F(E)(\tj(g))dg$$ where:…

We study the Langevin equation with both a white noise and a colored noise. We construct the Lagrangian as well as the Hamiltonian for the generalized Langevin equation which leads naturally to a path integral description from first…

This study introduces a procedure to obtain general expressions, $y = f(x)$, subject to linear constraints on the function and its derivatives defined at specified values. These constrained expressions can be used describe functions with…

In this paper it is shown how the generating functional for Green's functions in relativistic quantum field theory and in thermal field theory can be evaluated in terms of a standard quantum mechanical path integral. With this calculational…

We construct a pathwise integration theory, associated with a change of variable formula, for smooth functionals of continuous paths with arbitrary regularity defined in terms of the notion of $p$-th variation along a sequence of time…

In this paper we treat certain elliptic and hyper-elliptic integrals in a unified way. We introduce a new basis of these integrals coming from certain basis ${\phi}_n(x)$ of polynomials and show that the transition matrix between this basis…
