Symmetries of the hypergeometric function mF_m-1

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the generalized hypergeometric function mF_m-1 has a one parameter group of local symmetries, which is a conjugation of a flow of a rational Calogero-Mozer system. We use the symmetry to construct fermionic fields on a complex torus, which have linear-algebraic properties similar to those of the local solutions of the generalized hypergeometric equation. The fields admit a non-trivial action of the quaternions based on the above symmetry. We use the similarity between the linear-algebraic structures to introduce the quaternionic action on the direct sum of the space of solutions of the generalized hypergeometric equation and its dual. As a side product, we construct a ``good'' basis for the monodromy operators of the generalized hypergeometric equation inspired by the study of multiple flag varieties with finitely many orbits of the diagonal action of the general linear group by Magyar, Weyman, and Zelevinsky. As an example of computational effectiveness of the basis, we give a proof of the existence of the monodromy invariant hermitian form on the space of solutions of the generalized hypergeometric equation (in the case of real local exponents) different from the proofs of Beukers and Heckman and of Haraoka. As another side product, we prove an elliptic generalization of Cauchy identity.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
