Differential Equations Compatible with KZ Equations

We define a system of dynamical differential equations compatible with the KZ differential equations. The KZ differential equations are associated to a complex simple Lie algebra g. These are equations on a function of n complex variables z _i taking values in the tensor product of n finite dimensional g-modules. The KZ equations depend on the dual variable in the Cartan subalgebra of g. The dynamical differential equations are differential equations with respect to the dual variable. We prove that the standard hypergeometric solutions of the KZ equations also satisfy the dynamical equations. As an application we give a new determinant formula for the coordinates of a basis of hypergeometric solutions.     

Projectively Equivariant Quantization and Symbol Calculus: Noncommutative Hypergeometric Functions

We extend projectively equivariant quantization and symbol calculus to symbols of pseudo-differential operators. An explicit expression in terms of hypergeometric functions with noncommutative arguments is given. Some examples are worked out, one of them yielding a quantum length element on S ³.     

Stochastische Theorie der magnetischen Relaxation

Let a single magnetic dipole be in a constant magnetic field ?₀ and a fluctuating field ?′(t). For this problem the equation of motion is solved exactly. Averaging the magnetic moment over a convenient ensemble relations of relaxation of a macroscopic system of many spins are obtained. In this way a relaxation tensorΦ for magnetisation is derived from the stochastic properties of the fluctuating field which is a generalization ofKubo's oscillator model. For small timesΦ approaches a Gaußian for large times an exponential function. There are two relaxation times which may be expressed by two correlation times of the fluctuating field. The results give a classification of the absorption line shape in Gaußian and Lorentzian type.     

The Parameter Planes of λz<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis></Superscript> exp(z) for <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis> ≥ 2*

We consider the families of entire transcendental maps given by F _λ,m (z) = λz ^m exp(z), where m ≥ 2. All functions F _λ,m have a superattracting fixed point at z = 0, and a critical point at z = −m. In the parameter planes we focus on the capture zones, i.e., λ values for which the critical point belongs to the basin of attraction of z = 0, denoted by A(0). In particular, we study the main capture zone (parameter values for which the critical point lies in the immediate basin, A ^*(0)) and prove that is bounded, connected and simply connected. All other capture zones are unbounded and simply connected. For each parameter λ in the main capture zone, A(0) consists of a single connected component with non-locally connected boundary. For all remaining values of λ, A ^*(0) is a quasidisk. On a different approach, we introduce some families of holomorphic maps of which serve as a model for F _λ,m , in the sense that they are related by means of quasiconformal surgery to F _λ,m .

Total Positivity Properties of Generalized Hypergeometric Functions of Matrix Argument

In multivariate statistical analysis, several authors have studied the total positivity properties of the generalized (₀ F ₁) hypergeometric function of two real symmetric matrix arguments. In this paper, we make use of zonal polynomial expansions to obtain a new proof of a result that these ₀ F ₁functions fail to satisfy certain pairwise total positivity properties; this proof extends both to arbitrary generalized ( _r F _s ) functions of two matrix arguments and to the generalized hypergeometric functions of Hermitian matrix arguments. In the case of the generalized hypergeometric functions of two Hermitian matrix arguments, we prove that these functions satisfy certain modified pairwise TP₂properties; the proofs of these results are based on Sylvester's formula for compound determinants and the condensation formula of C. L. Dodgson [Lewis Carroll] (1866).     

Fock space representations of affine lie algebras and integral representations in the Wess-Zumino-Witten models

Fock space representations of affine Lie algebras are studied. Explicit forms of correction terms adding to the currentsF _i (z) are determined. It is proved that the Sugawara energy-momentum tensor on the Fock spaces is quadratic in free bosons. Furthermore, screening operators are constructed. This implies the existence of generalized hypergeometric integrals satisfying the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation.

Modular Hypergeometric Residue Sums of Elliptic Selberg Integrals

It is shown that the residue expansion of an elliptic Selberg integral gives rise to an integral representation for a multiple modular hypergeometric series. A conjectural evaluation formula for the integral then implies a closed summation formula for the series, generalizing both the multiple basic hypergeometric ₈₇ sum of Milne-Gustafson type and the (one-dimensional) modular hypergeometric ₈₇ sum of Frenkel and Turaev. Independently, the modular invariance ensures the asymptotic correctness of our multiple modular hypergeometric summation formula for low orders in a modular parameter.     

Fredholm Determinants and Pole-free Solutions to the Noncommutative Painlevé II Equation

We extend the formalism of integrable operators à la Its-Izergin-Korepin-Slavnov to matrix-valued convolution operators on a semi–infinite interval and to matrix integral operators with a kernel of the form \fracE₁^T(l) E₂(m)l+m{\frac{E_1^T(\lambda) E_2(\mu)}{\lambda+\mu}}, thus proving that their resolvent operators can be expressed in terms of solutions of some specific Riemann-Hilbert problems. We also describe some applications, mainly to a noncommutative version of Painlevé II (recently introduced by Retakh and Rubtsov) and a related noncommutative equation of Painlevé type. We construct a particular family of solutions of the noncommutative Painlevé II that are pole-free (for real values of the variables) and hence analogous to the Hastings-McLeod solution of (commutative) Painlevé II. Such a solution plays the same role as its commutative counterpart relative to the Tracy–Widom theorem, but for the computation of the Fredholm determinant of a matrix version of the Airy kernel.     

A Generalized Hypergeometric Function¶Satisfying Four Analytic Difference Equations¶of Askey--Wilson Type

The hypergeometric function ₂ F ₁ can be written in terms of a contour integral involving gamma functions. We generalize this (Barnes) representation by using a certain generalized gamma function as a building block. In this way we obtain a new ₂ F ₁-generalization with various symmetry features. We determine the analyticity properties of the R-function in all of its eight arguments, and show that it is a joint eigenfunction of four distinct Askey–Wilson type difference operators, two acting on v and two on . The Askey–Wilson polynomials can be obtained by a suitable discretization of v or . Received: 21 December 1998 / Accepted: 14 April 1999     

Saalschutzians and Racah coefficients

The set I and set II of three and four₄ F ₃(l)s for the Racah coefficient are shown to be related through the property of reversal of series of the generalized Saalschutzian hypergeometric function.     

Plane symmetric metrics associated with semi-plane symmetric electromagnetic fields in higher dimensions

Electromagnetic fields yielding plane symmetric metrics in higher-dimensional spacetimes are exhausted and classified. It is shown that these EM fields must fall into one of the following two cases: (i)F _it =F _iz =0,i=1,...,n; (ii)F_tz=0. We give the general solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations in higher dimensions corresponding to electromagnetic fields of case (ii) withF _it =F _iz , which covers all even-dimensional spacetimes as well as a subcase of odd-dimensional spacetimes.     

Madelung Representation for Complex Nonlinear D’Alembert Equations in n-Dimensional Minkowski Space

Abstract

The Madelung representation ψ = u exp(iv) is considered for the d’Alembert equation □ _n ψ?F (|ψ|)ψ = 0 to develop a technique for finding exact solutions. We classify the nonlinear function F for which the amplitude and phase of the d’Alembert equation are related to the solutions of the compatible d’Alembert–Hamiltonian system.

The equations are studied in n-dimensional Minkowski space.     

A study of the variable moment of inertia models

The variable moment of inertia (VMI) model proposed by Holmberg and Lipas has been shown to be a special case of the VMI model of Mariscottiet al. The solution of Mariscotti’s model is expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions, which directly give the rotational energies or their expansions in terms of the quantityF(F+1), whereF is the total angular momentum. The present way of looking at the VMI model also tells us how to write the general dependence of the vibrational energy and the moment of inertia on the energyE _J.     

Analyticity properties and a convergent expansion for the inverse correlation length of the low-temperatured-dimensional Ising model

We show that the inverse correlation lengthm(z) of the truncated spin-spin correlation function of theZ ^d Ising model with + or — boundary conditions admits the representationm(z) = –(4d–4)ln z(1–_d1) + r(z) for smallz=e ^–, i.e., large inverse temperatures is ad-dependent analytic function atz = 0, already known in closed form ford = 1 and 2; ford = 3 b_n can be computed explicitly from a finite number of the Z^d limits of z = 0 Taylor series coefficients of the finite lattice correlation function at a finite number of points ofZ ^d.     

Properties of Generalized Univariate Hypergeometric Functions

Based on Spiridonov’s analysis of elliptic generalizations of the Gauss hypergeometric function, we develop a common framework for 7-parameter families of generalized elliptic, hyperbolic and trigonometric univariate hypergeometric functions. In each case we derive the symmetries of the generalized hypergeometric function under the Weyl group of type E ₇ (elliptic, hyperbolic) and of type E ₆ (trigonometric) using the appropriate versions of the Nassrallah-Rahman beta integral, and we derive contiguous relations using fundamental addition formulas for theta and sine functions. The top level degenerations of the hyperbolic and trigonometric hypergeometric functions are identified with Ruijsenaars’ relativistic hypergeometric function and the Askey-Wilson function, respectively. We show that the degeneration process yields various new and known identities for hyperbolic and trigonometric special functions. We also describe an intimate connection between the hyperbolic and trigonometric theory, which yields an expression of the hyperbolic hypergeometric function as an explicit bilinear sum in trigonometric hypergeometric functions.     

Noncommutative Manifolds, the Instanton Algebra¶and Isospectral Deformations

We give new examples of noncommutative manifolds that are less standard than the NC-torus or Moyal deformations of ℝ ⁿ . They arise naturally from basic considerations of noncommutative differential topology and have non-trivial global features. The new examples include the instanton algebra and the NC-4-spheres S ⁴ _θ. We construct the noncommutative algebras ?=C ^∞ (S ⁴ _θ) of functions on NC-spheres as solutions to the vanishing, ch _j (e) = 0, j < 2, of the Chern character in the cyclic homology of ? of an idempotent e∈M ₄ (?), e ²=e, e=e ^*. We describe the universal noncommutative space obtained from this equation as a noncommutative Grassmannian as well as the corresponding notion of admissible morphisms. This space Gr contains the suspension of a NC-3-sphere S ³ _θ distinct from quantum group deformations SU _q (2) of SU (2). We then construct the noncommutative geometry of S _θ ⁴ as given by a spectral triple ?, ℋ, D) and check all axioms of noncommutative manifolds. In a previous paper it was shown that for any Riemannian metric g _μν on S ⁴ whose volume form is the same as the one for the round metric, the corresponding Dirac operator gives a solution to the following quartic equation,

Hypergeometric series in a series expansion of the directed-bond percolation probability on the square lattice

The asymmetric directed-bond percolation (ADBP) problem with an asymmetry parameterk is introduced and some rigorous results are given concerning a series expansion of the percolation probability on the square lattice. It is shown that the first correction term,d _n,1 (k) is expressed by Gauss' hypergeometric series with a variablek. Since the ADBP includes the ordinary directed bond percolation as a special case withk=1, our results give another proof for the Baxter-Guttmann's conjecture thatd _n,1(1) is given by the Catalan number, which was recently proved by Bousquet-Mélou. Direct calculations on finite lattices are performed and combining them with the present results determines the first 14 terms of the series expansion for percolation probability of the ADBP on the square lattice. The analysis byDlog Padé approximations suggests that the critical value depends onk, while asymmetry does not change the critical exponent of percolation probability.
