Pontrjagin numbers and pseudo-riemannian geometry

Summary An integral formula for the Pontrjagin numbers of a compact orientable real 4k dimensional differentiable manifold which has a pseudo-Riemannian metric is derived. This formula allows the Pontrjagin numbers to be expressed in terms of the index, or signature, of the differentiable manifold. The application of these formulae to the four dimensional Lorentzian manifolds of the general theory of relativity is discussed. A corresponding formula for the Chern numbers of a complex differentiable manifold with a Hermitian metric is also given.     

Tenth order mock theta functions in Ramanujan's lost notebook (IV)

Ramanujan's lost notebook contains many results on mock theta functions. In particular, the lost notebook contains eight identities for tenth order mock theta functions. Previously the author proved the first six of Ramanujan's tenth order mock theta function identities. It is the purpose of this paper to prove the seventh and eighth identities of Ramanujan's tenth order mock theta function identities which are expressed by mock theta functions and a definite integral. L. J. Mordell's transformation formula for the definite integral plays a key role in the proofs of these identities. Also, the properties of modular forms are used for the proofs of theta function identities.

     

A NEW INTEGRAL TRANSFORM AND ITS APPLICATIONS

In the present paper,the authors introduce a new integral transform which yields a number of potentially useful(known or new) integral transfoms as its special cases.Many fundamental results about this new integral transform,which are established in this paper,include(for example) existence theorem,Parseval-type relationship and inversion formula.The relationship between the new integral transform with the H-function and the H-transform are characterized by means of some integral identities.The introduced transform is also used to find solution to a certain differential equation.Some illustrative examples are also given.

A note on the discrete Cauchy‐Kovalevskaya extension

In this paper, we exploit the umbral calculus framework to reformulate the so‐called discrete Cauchy‐Kovalevskaya extension in the scope of hypercomplex variables. The key idea is to consider not only formal power series representation for the underlying solution, but also integral representations for the Chebyshev polynomials of first and second kind by means of its Cauchy principal values. It turns out that the resulting integral representation associated to our toy problem is a space‐time Fourier type inversion formula. Moreover, with the aid of some Laplace transform identities involving the generalized Mittag‐Leffler function, we are able to establish a link with a Cauchy problem of differential‐difference type.     

A q-summation formula,the continuous q-Hahn polynomials and the big q-Jacobi polynomials

Using a general q-summation formula, we derive a generating function for the q-Hahn polynomials, which is used to give a complete proof of the orthogonality relation for the continuous q-Hahn polynomials. A new proof of the orthogonality relation for the big q-Jacobi polynomials is also given. A simple evaluation of the Nassrallah–Rahman integral is derived by using this summation formula. A new q-beta integral formula is established, which includes the Nassrallah–Rahman integral as a special case. The q-summation formula also allows us to recover several strange q-series identities.     

BCn-symmetric polynomials

We consider two important families of BC_n-symmetric polynomials, namely Okounkov's interpolation polynomials and Koornwinder's orthogonal polynomials. We give a family of difference equations satisfied by the former as well as generalizations of the branching rule and Pieri identity, leading to a number of multivariate q-analogues of classical hypergeometric transformations. For the latter, we give new proofs of Macdonald's conjectures, as well as new identities, including an inverse binomial formula and several branching rule and connection coefficient identities. We also derive families of ordinary symmetric functions that reduce to the interpolation and Koornwinder polynomials upon appropriate specialization. As an application, we consider a number of new integral conjectures associated to classical symmetric spaces.     

Spin^{\rm c} -manifolds with Pin(2)-action

We study -manifolds with Pin(2)-action. The main tool is a vanishing theorem for certain indices of twisted -Dirac operators. This theorem is used to show that the Witten genus vanishes on such manifolds provided the first Chern class and the first Pontrjagin class are torsion. We apply the vanishing theorem to cohomology complex projective spaces and give partial evidence for a conjecture of Petrie. For example we prove that the total Pontrjagin class of a cohomology with -action has standard form if the first Pontrjagin class has standard form. We also determine the intersection form of certain 4-manifolds with Pin(2)-action. Received: 26 June 1998     

Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals via two kinds of convexity

In this article, two fundamental integral identities including the second-order derivatives of a given function via Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals are established. With the help of these two fractional-type integral identities, all kinds of Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities involving left-sided and right-sided Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals for m-convex and (s,?m)-convex functions, respectively. Our methods considered here may be a stimulant for further investigations concerning Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities involving Hadamard fractional integrals.     

New convolutions and their applicability to integral equations of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel type

We propose four new convolutions exhibiting convenient factorization properties associated with two finite interval integral transformations of Fourier-type together with their norm inequalities. Moreover, we study the solvability of a class of integral equations of Wiener-Hopf plus Hankel type (on finite intervals) with the help of the factorization identities of such convolutions. Fourier-type series are used to produce the solution formula of such equations, and a Shannon-type sampling formula is also obtained.

Orthogonality relations and Cherednik identities for multivariable Baker–Akhiezer functions

We establish orthogonality relations for the Baker–Akhiezer (BA) eigenfunctions of the Macdonald difference operators. We also obtain a version of Cherednik–Macdonald–Mehta integral for these functions. As a corollary, we give a simple derivation of the norm identity and Cherednik–Macdonald–Mehta integral for Macdonald polynomials. In the appendix written by the first author, we prove a summation formula for BA functions. We also consider more general identities of Cherednik type, which we use to introduce and construct more general, twisted BA functions. This leads to a construction of new quantum integrable models of Macdonald–Ruijsenaars type.     

Indefinite integrals involving the incomplete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds

A substantial number of indefinite integrals are presented for the incomplete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds. The number of new results presented is about three times the total number to be found in the current literature. These integrals were obtained with a Lagrangian method based on the differential equations which these functions obey. All results have been checked numerically with Mathematica. Similar results for the incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind will be presented separately.     

Semigroup identities in the monoid of triangular tropical matrices

We show that the submonoid of all n×n triangular tropical matrices satisfies a nontrivial semigroup identity and provide a generic construction for classes of such identities. The utilization of the Fibonacci number formula gives us an upper bound on the length of these 2-variable semigroup identities.     

On identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type

An elementary approach to a number of identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type is given. It is shown that analytic formulas like, e.g., the Rogers-Ramanujan, the Rogers-Selberg and the Göllnitz-Gordon identities can be obtained essentially as consequences of the q-binomial theorem and the q-Vandermonde formula.

Tiling Proofs of Recent Sum Identities Involving Pell Numbers

In a recent note, Santana and Diaz-Barrero proved a number of sum identities involving the well-known Pell numbers. Their proofs relied heavily on the Binet formula for the Pell numbers. Our goal in this note is to reconsider these identities from a purely combinatorial viewpoint. We provide bijective proofs for each of the results by interpreting the Pell numbers as enumerators of certain types of tilings. In turn, our proofs provide helpful insight for straightforward generalizations of a number of the identities. Received July 20, 2006
