The goal of this paper is to lay the foundations for a combinatorial study, via orthogonal functions and intertwining operators, of category O for the rational Cherednik algebra of type G(r, p, n). As a first application, we give a self-contained and elementary proof of the analog for the groups G(r, p, n), with r > 1, of Gordon’s theorem (previously Haiman’s conjecture) on the diagonal coinvar...

In this article, we have investigated quarkonium spectrum using the generalized Klein-Gordon equation. This has been done using suitable potentials and applying them in the Klein-Gordon equation mass term analytically and numerically. The simplicity of this model and the high accuracy of the achieved results, compared to other methods, for a relativistic computation of the quarkonium spectrum (...

Sklyanin’s method of separation of variables is employed in a calculation of finite temperature expectation values. An essential element of the approach is Baxter’s Q-function. We propose its explicit form corresponding to the ground state of the sinh-Gordon theory. With the method of separation of variables we calculate the finite temperature expectation values of the exponential fields to one...

The most widely used personality questionnaires are based on the trait paradigm, which implies relatively stable behavioural and emotional patterns. This assumption, however, has often been criticized and empirically called into question. For example, recent research has shown that trait questionnaires and aggregated momentary assessments of personality are highly related, but do not show conve...

In this article we give a very brief outline of one way of carrying out the spectral analysis of a boundary value problem with specified singularities and investigating the corresponding inverse problem. We find out the solutions of equation satisfying the boundary condition 0 ) 0 ( ) 0 ( = − ′ y a y λ where q is a real valued function, λ is a spectral parameter and a is a natural number. As th...

The algebra of conserved observables of the SO(4, 1) gauge-invariant theory of the Dirac fermions in the external field of the KaluzaKlein monopole is investigated. It is shown that the Dirac conserved operators have physical parts associated with Pauli operators that are also conserved in the sense of the Klein-Gordon theory. In this way one gets simpler methods of analyzing the properties of ...

In the real world, one usually cannot gather enough evidence to completely determine the activity of a system. Typically, different pieces of evidence tell you about different aspects of the system with different certainties. Correlating these at a given point of time is a much studied problem. The problem becomes even less tractable when the evidence is acquired at different points in time. Th...

This paper estimates the implied cost of equity for Canadian and U.S. firms using a methodology based on the dividend discount model and utilizing firms’ current stock price and analysts’ forecasted earnings. We find that firm size and firm stock liquidity are negatively related to cost of equity, while greater firm financial leverage and greater dispersion in analysts’ earnings forecasts are a...

A succinct presentation of the algebraic structure of the quantized Klein-Gordon field can be given in terms of a Lorentz invariant inner product. A presentation of a classical Klein-Gordon random field at non-zero temperature can be given in the same noncommutative algebraic style, allowing a detailed comparison of the quantized Klein-Gordon field with a classical Klein-Gordon random field.
