Integrals involving products of Airy functions, their derivatives and Bessel functions

A new integral representation of the Hankel transform type is deduced for the function Fn(x,Z)=Zn−1Ai(x−Z)Ai(x+Z) with x∈R, Z>0 and n∈N. This formula involves the product of Airy functions, their derivatives and Bessel functions. The presence of the latter allows one to perform various transformations with respect to Z and obtain new integral formulae of the type of the Mellin transform, K-transform, Laplace and Fourier transform. Some integrals containing Airy functions, their derivatives and Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind are computed explicitly. A new representation is given for the function ²|Ai(z)| with z∈C.     

Abel transform on PSL(2, ℝ) and some of its applications

We shall investigate the use of Abel transform on PSL₂(ℝ) as a tool beyond K-biinvariant setup, discuss its properties and show some applications.     

Fractional derivatives of products of Airy functions

Fractional derivatives of the products of Airy functions are investigated, and Dα{Ai(x)×Bi(x)}, where Ai(x) and Bi(x) are the Airy functions of the first and second type, respectively. They turn out to be linear combinations of Dα{Ai(x)} and Dα{Gi(x)}, where Gi(x) is the Scorer function. It is also proved that the Wronskian W(x) of the system of half integrals {D−1/2Ai(x),D−1/2Gi(x)} and its Hilbert transform can be considered special functions in their own right since they are expressed in terms of and Ai(x)Bi(x), respectively. Various integral relations are established. Integral representations for Dα{Ai(x−a)Ai(x+a)} and its Hilbert transform −HDα{Ai(x−a)Ai(x+a)} are derived.     

Lower bounds for the number of limit cycles of trigonometric Abel equations

We consider the Abel equation , where A(t) and B(t) are trigonometric polynomials of degree n and m, respectively, and we give lower bounds for its number of isolated periodic orbits for some values of n and m. These lower bounds are obtained by two different methods: the study of the perturbations of some Abel equations having a continuum of periodic orbits and the Hopf-type bifurcation of periodic orbits from the solution x=0.     

Asymptotic expansions for Riesz fractional derivatives of Airy functions and applications

Riesz fractional derivatives of a function, (also called Riesz potentials), are defined as fractional powers of the Laplacian. Asymptotic expansions for large x are computed for the Riesz fractional derivatives of the Airy function of the first kind, Ai(x), and the Scorer function, Gi(x). Reduction formulas are provided that allow one to express Riesz potentials of products of Airy functions, and , via and . Here Bi(x) is the Airy function of the second type. Integral representations are presented for the function A₂(a,b;x)=Ai(x−a)Ai(x−b) with a,b∈R and its Hilbert transform. Combined with the above asymptotic expansions they can be used for computing asymptotics of the Hankel transform of . These results are used for obtaining the weak rotation approximation for the Ostrovsky equation (asymptotics of the fundamental solution of the linearized Cauchy problem as the rotation parameter tends to zero).     

Global Asymptotics of Krawtchouk Polynomials——a Riemann-Hilbert Approach

In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the Krawtchouk polynomials KnN(z;p,q) as the degree n becomes large. Asymptotic expansions are obtained when the ratio of the parameters n/N tends to a limit c∈(0,1) as n→∞. The results are globally valid in one or two regions in the complex z-plane depending on the values of c and p; in particular, they are valid in regions containing the interval on which these polynomials are orthogonal. Our method is based on the Riemann-Hilbert approach introduced by Deift and Zhou.

Spectral analysis of the semi-relativistic Pauli-Fierz hamiltonian

We consider a charged particle, spin , with relativistic kinetic energy and minimally coupled to the quantized Maxwell field. Since the total momentum is conserved, the Hamiltonian admits a fiber decomposition as H(P), P∈R³. We study the spectrum of H(P). In particular we prove that, for non-zero photon mass, the ground state is exactly two-fold degenerate and separated by a gap, uniformly in P, from the rest of the spectrum.

Stability of Quantum Electrodynamics and Quantum Chromodynamics

We consider the vacuum energy in QED viewed as in a system of charged fermions and bosons and in QCD viewed as in a system of quarks (fermions) and gluons (bosons) in a self-dual field with a constant strength. We show that the cause of instability is the instability of bosons in the self-dual vacuum field. For the global stability of a system consisting of fermions and bosons, the number of fermions should be sufficiently large. The nonzero self-dual field leading to the confinement of fermions realizes the minimum of the vacuum energy in the case where the boson has the smallest mass in the system. Confinement therefore does not arise in QED, where the fermion (electron) has the smallest mass, and does arise in QCD, where the boson (gluon) has the smallest mass.
