Subdifferential formulas for a class of non-convex infimal convolutions

In this paper, we provide a number of subdifferential formulas for a class of non-convex infimal convolutions in normed spaces. The formulas obtained unify several results on subdifferentials of the distance function and the minimal time function. In particular, we generalize the results obtained recently by Zhang et al.     

Two chain rules for divided differences and Faà di Bruno's formula

In this paper we derive two formulas for divided differences of a function of a function. Both formulas lead to other divided difference formulas, such as reciprocal and quotient rules. The two formulas can also be used to derive Faà di Bruno's formula and other formulas for higher derivatives of composite functions. We also derive a divided difference version of Faà di Bruno's determinant formula.

     

Determinant Forms for Extended Heat Functions and Expansions of Solutions of Associated Cauchy Problems

We briefly review series solutions of differential equations problems of the second order that lead to coefficients expressed in terms of determinants. Derivative type formulas involving a generating function with several parameters are developed for these determinant coefficients in first order problems. These permit constructing determinant forms for the heat polynomials and their Appell transforms. Hadamard's theorem for bounding determinants and conical regions are used to deduce simplified versions of expansion theorems involving these polynomials and associated Appell transforms. Extended versions of the heat equation are also considered.

Average values of L-functions in characteristic two

Gauss made two conjectures about average values of class numbers of orders in quadratic number fields, later on proven by Lipschitz and Siegel. A version for function fields of odd characteristic was established by Hoffstein and Rosen. In this paper, we extend their results to the case of even characteristic. More precisely, we obtain formulas of average values of L-functions associated to orders in quadratic function fields over a constant field of characteristic two, and then derive formulas of average class numbers of these orders.     

Hasse's class number product formula for generalized Dirichlet fields and other types of number fields

In the 1950's Hasse gave a formula that relates the class number of a biquadratic dicyclic number field to the class numbers of its, three quadratic subfields. Similar formulas are derived here for biquadratic dicyclic extensions of more general base fields, in cases where the base fields retain several properties of ℚ. This article was processed by the author using the Springer-Verlag T_EX mamath macro package 1990

Action of the group of classes on representations of numbers by a ternary quadratic form: The formulas of Siegel and Kneser-Hsia-Peters

We specify in explicit form the action of the group of classes of binary quadratic forms of determinant dm on the set of primitive representations of the number m by a ternary quadratic form. As a consequence, we obtain an elementary proof of Siegel's formulas for the weighted number of representations by a genus and formulas for the weighted number of representations by a spinor genus of ternary forms.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Maillet determinants for real abelian number fields and its applications

Asymptotics of Wave Functions of the Stationary Schrödinger Equation in the Weyl Chamber

We study stationary solutions of the Schrödinger equation with a monotonic potential U in a polyhedral angle (Weyl chamber) with the Dirichlet boundary condition. The potential has the form \(U\left( x \right) = \sum _{j = 1}^nV\left( {{x_j}} \right),x = \left( {{x_1}, \ldots ,{x_n}} \right) \in {\mathbb{R}^n}\), with a monotonically increasing function V (y). We construct semiclassical asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in the form of the Slater determinant composed of Airy functions with arguments depending nonlinearly on x_j. We propose a method for implementing the Maslov canonical operator in the form of the Airy function based on canonical transformations.     

Macdonald processes

Macdonald processes are probability measures on sequences of partitions defined in terms of nonnegative specializations of the Macdonald symmetric functions and two Macdonald parameters $q,t \in [0,1)$ . We prove several results about these processes, which include the following. (1) We explicitly evaluate expectations of a rich family of observables for these processes. (2) In the case $t=0$ , we find a Fredholm determinant formula for a $q$ -Laplace transform of the distribution of the last part of the Macdonald-random partition. (3) We introduce Markov dynamics that preserve the class of Macdonald processes and lead to new “integrable” 2d and 1d interacting particle systems. (4) In a large time limit transition, and as $q$ goes to 1, the particles of these systems crystallize on a lattice, and fluctuations around the lattice converge to O’Connell’s Whittaker process that describe semi-discrete Brownian directed polymers. (5) This yields a Fredholm determinant for the Laplace transform of the polymer partition function, and taking its asymptotics we prove KPZ universality for the polymer (free energy fluctuation exponent $1/3$ and Tracy-Widom GUE limit law). (6) Under intermediate disorder scaling, we recover the Laplace transform of the solution of the KPZ equation with narrow wedge initial data. (7) We provide contour integral formulas for a wide array of polymer moments. (8) This results in a new ansatz for solving quantum many body systems such as the delta Bose gas.     

Asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with asymptotic Freud-like weights

We derive uniform asymptotic expansions for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a class of weight functions that are real analytic and behave asymptotically like the Freud weight at infinity. Although the limiting zero distributions are the same as in the Freud cases, the asymptotic expansions are different due to the fact that the weight functions may have a finite or infinite number of zeros on the imaginary axis. To resolve the singularities caused by these zeros, an auxiliary function is introduced in the Riemann–Hilbert analysis. Asymptotic formulas are established in several regions covering the whole complex plane. We take the continuous dual Hahn polynomials as an example to illustrate our main results. Some numerical verifications are also given.     

Class numbers of quadratic function fields and continued fractions

A function field version of a theorem of F. Hirzebruch relating continued fractions to class numbers of quadratic number fields is established. Our approach is based on Artin's thesis and Zagier's proof of Hirzebruch's theorem. Some of our results seem to be of independent interest, e.g. explicit formulas for Zeta functions of real quadratic function fields.     

Inkeri‚s determinant for an imaginary abelian number field

We give a relative class number formula for an imaginary abelian number field by means of a determinant, which yields a generalization of Inkeri‘s determinant.     

The determinant of the scattering matrix and its relation to the number of eigenvalues

For a large class of scattering systems we study the behavior of the determinant of the scattering matrix as a function on the spectrum of the unperturbed operator. The variation of this determinant is related to the number of eigenvalues due to the perturbation. This relation generalizes results of Levinson and others. The range of physical systems to which these results apply is thus considerably extended.     

The dynamical hierarchy for Roelcke precompact Polish groups

We study several distinguished function algebras on a Polish group G, under the assumption that G is Roelcke precompact. We do this by means of the model-theoretic translation initiated by Ben Yaacov and Tsankov: we investigate the dynamics of N_o-categorical metric structures under the action of their automorphism group. We show that, in this context, every strongly uniformly continuous function (in particular, every Asplund function) is weakly almost periodic. We also point out the correspondence between tame functions and NIP formulas, deducing that the isometry group of the Urysohn sphere is Tame ∩ UC-trivial.     

The Generating Function for the Airy Point Process and a System of Coupled Painlevé II Equations

For a wide class of Hermitian random matrices, the limit distribution of the eigenvalues close to the largest one is governed by the Airy point process. In such ensembles, the limit distribution of the k th largest eigenvalue is given in terms of the Airy kernel Fredholm determinant or in terms of Tracy–Widom formulas involving solutions of the Painlevé II equation. Limit distributions for quantities involving two or more near‐extreme eigenvalues, such as the gap between the k th and the ℓth largest eigenvalue or the sum of the k largest eigenvalues, can be expressed in terms of Fredholm determinants of an Airy kernel with several discontinuities. We establish simple Tracy–Widom type expressions for these Fredholm determinants, which involve solutions to systems of coupled Painlevé II equations, and we investigate the asymptotic behavior of these solutions.
