Intertwining Relations for the Spherical Parts of Generalized Calogero Operators

We construct the shift operators and the intertwining operators for the spherical parts of generalized Calogero operators related to classical Coxeter systems.     

Rate of convergence for certain families of summation-integral type operators

In this paper, we study the rate of convergence for the iterative combinations of a certain family of linear positive operators in terms of higher-order integral modulus of smoothness. We have used the technique of linear approximating method, namely Steklov mean, to prove the main result. In the end, we propose some other sequences of linear positive operators and obtain the recurrence formulae for the central moments, Voronovskaja type asymptotic formulae and error estimations.     

Higher eta-invariants

We define the higher eta-invariant of a Dirac-type operator on a nonsimply-connected closed manifold. We discuss its variational properties and how it would fit into a higher index theorem for compact manifolds with boundary. We give applications to questions of positive scalar curvature for manifolds with boundary, and to a Novikov conjecture for manifolds with boundary.Partially supported by the Humboldt Foundation and NSF grant DMS-9101920.     

REDUCIBILITY IN SOME CATEGORIES OF PARTIAL RECURSIVE OPERATORS

We consider two categories with one object, namely the set of all partial functions of one variable from the set of natural numbers into itself; the morphisms are the partial recursive operators in one case, and certain continuous partial mappings in the other case. We show that these categories are recursion categories and we characterize the domains and the complete domains. Some observations are made on a notion of reducibility obtained by using the total morphisms of these categories, and, subsequently, the general recursive operators.     

Heckman-Opdam's Jacobi polynomials for the BCn root system and generalized spherical functions

We prove that the radial part of the Laplacian on the space of generalized spherical functions on the symmetric space GL(m+n)/GL(m)×GL(n) is the Sutherland differential operator for the root system BC_n and the radial parts of the differential operators corresponding to the higher Casimirs yield the integrals of the quantum Calogero-Moser system. It allows us to give a representation theoretical construction for the three parameter family of Heckman-Opdam's Jacobi polynomials for the BC_n root system.     

Canonical conjugate momentum of discrete label operators in quantum mechanics I: formalism

We discuss the inadequacy of the standard definition of canonical conjugation for a quantum operator having adiscrete spectrum. A different definition is proposed, based on the analogy betweencontinuous anddiscrete translations (or rotations). This definition can be applied to special operators which we calllabel operators. The general form of the conjugate momentum of a label operator is found and the resulting canonical commutation rules are discussed. It is shown that the canonical commutator acts like ac number in itsdomain _I , but the domain does not coincide with the whole Hilbert space. The properties of the subspace _I are also discussed.     

The spectrum of a one-dimensional hierarchical model

The spectrum of a discrete Schrödinger operator with a hierarchically distributed potential is studied both by a renormalization group technique and by numerical analysis. A suitable choice of the potential makes it possible to reduce the original problem to a two-dimensional map. Scaling laws for the band-edge energyE _be and for the integrated density of states are predicted together with the global properties of the spectrum. Different scaling regimes are obtained depending on a hierarchy positive parameterR: for R<1/2 the usual scaling laws for the periodic case are obtained, while forR>1/2 the scaling behavior depends explicitly onR.     

Ladder operators for Szego polynomials and related biorthogonal rational functions

We find the raising and lowering operators for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle introduced by Szego and for their four parameter generalization to biorthogonal rational functions on the unit circle.
