We consider polynomials of the form $\operatorname{h}_m(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]})$, where $\operatorname{h}_m$ is the complete homogeneous polynomial of degree $m$ and $y_j^{[\varkappa_j]}$ denotes $y_j$ repeated $\varkappa_j$ times. Using the decomposition of the generating function into partial fractions we represent such polynomials in the form \[ \operatorname{h}_m(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]}) =\sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{r=1}^{\varkappa_j} \binom{r+m-1}{r-1} A_{y,\varkappa,j,r} y_j^m, \] where $A_{y,\varkappa,j,r}$ are some coefficients that do not depend on $m$. We also provide an alternative proof using the inverse of the confluent Vandermonde matrix., Comment: 28 pages

We consider polynomials of the form $\operatorname{s}_\lambda(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]})$, where $\lambda$ is an integer partition, $\operatorname{s}_\lambda$ is the Schur polynomial associated to $\lambda$, and $y_j^{[\varkappa_j]}$ denotes $y_j$ repeated $\varkappa_j$ times. We represent $\operatorname{s}_\lambda(y_1^{[\varkappa_1]},\ldots,y_n^{[\varkappa_n]})$ as a quotient whose the denominator is the determinant of the confluent Vandermonde matrix, and the numerator is the determinant of some generalized confluent Vandermonde matrix. We give three algebraic proofs of this formula., Comment: 26 pages

Let $n,m\ge 1$ and $\alpha>0$. We denote by $\mathcal{F}_{\alpha,m}$ the $m$-analytic Bargmann--Segal--Fock space, i.e., the Hilbert space of all $m$-analytic functions defined on $\mathbb{C}^n$ and square integrables with respect to the Gaussian weight $\exp(-\alpha |z|^2)$. We study the von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of bounded linear operators acting in $\mathcal{F}_{\alpha,m}$ and commuting with all ``horizontal'' Weyl translations, i.e., Weyl unitary operators associated to the elements of $\mathbb{R}^n$. The reproducing kernel of $\mathcal{F}_{1,m}$ was computed by Youssfi [Polyanalytic reproducing kernels in $\mathbb{C}^n$, Complex Anal. Synerg., 2021, 7, 28]. Multiplying the elements of $\mathcal{F}_{\alpha,m}$ by an appropriate weight, we transform this space into another reproducing kernel Hilbert space whose kernel $K$ is invariant under horizontal translations. Using the well-known Fourier connection between Laguerre and Hermite functions, we compute the Fourier transform of $K$ in the ``horizontal direction'' and decompose it into the sum of $d$ products of Hermite functions, with $d=\binom{n+m-1}{n}$. Finally, applying the scheme proposed by Herrera-Ya\~{n}ez, Maximenko, Ramos-Vazquez [Translation-invariant operators in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, Integr. Equ. Oper. Theory, 2022, 94, 31], we show that $\mathcal{F}_{\alpha,m}$ is isometrically isomorphic to the space of vector-functions $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)^d$, and $\mathcal{A}$ is isometrically isomorphic to the algebra of matrix-functions $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)^{d\times d}$., Comment: 29 pages

We study the individual behavior of the eigenvalues of the laplacian matrices of the cyclic graph of order $n$, where one edge has weight $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}$, with $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)<0$, and all the others have weights $1$. This paper is a sequel of a previous one where we considered $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha) \in[0,1]$ (Eigenvalues of laplacian matrices of the cycles with one weighted edge, Linear Algebra Appl. 653, 2022, 86--115). We prove that for $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)<0$ and $n>\operatorname{Re}(\alpha-1)/\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$, one eigenvalue is negative while the others belong to $[0,4]$ and are distributed as the function $x\mapsto 4\sin^2(x/2)$. Additionally, we prove that as $n$ tends to $\infty$, the outlier eigenvalue converges exponentially to $4\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)^2/(2\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)-1)$. We give exact formulas for the half of the inner eigenvalues, while for the others we justify the convergence of Newton's method and fixed-point iteration method. We find asymptotic expansions, as $n$ tends to $\infty$, both for the eigenvalues belonging to $[0,4]$ and the outlier. We also compute the eigenvectors and their norms., Comment: 28 pages, 8 figures

In a previous paper (Radial operators on polyanalytic weighted Bergman spaces, Bol. Soc. Mat. Mex. 27, 43), using disk polynomials as an orthonormal basis in the $n$-analytic weighted Bergman space, we showed that for every bounded radial generating symbol $a$, the associated Toeplitz operator, acting in this space, can be identified with a matrix sequence $\gamma(a)$, where the entries of the matrices are certain integrals involving $a$ and Jacobi polynomials. In this paper, we suppose that the generating symbols $a$ have finite limits on the boundary and prove that the C*-algebra generated by the corresponding matrix sequences $\gamma(a)$ is the C*-algebra of all matrix sequences having scalar limits at infinity. We use Kaplansky's noncommutative analog of the Stone--Weierstrass theorem and some ideas from several papers by Loaiza, Lozano, Ram\'{i}rez-Ortega, Ram\'{i}rez-Mora, and S\'{a}nchez-Nungaray. We also prove that for $n\ge 2$, the closure of the set of matrix sequences $\gamma(a)$ is not equal to the generated C*-algebra., Comment: 32 pages

In this paper we study the eigenvalues of the laplacian matrices of the cyclic graphs with one edge of weight $\alpha$ and the others of weight $1$. We denote by $n$ the order of the graph and suppose that $n$ tends to infinity. We notice that the characteristic polynomial and the eigenvalues depend only on $\operatorname{Re}(\alpha)$. After that, through the rest of the paper we suppose that $0<\alpha<1$. It is easy to see that the eigenvalues belong to $[0,4]$ and are asymptotically distributed as the function $g(x)=4\sin^2(x/2)$ on $[0,\pi]$. We obtain a series of results about the individual behavior of the eigenvalues. First, we describe more precisely their localization in subintervals of $[0,4]$. Second, we transform the characteristic equation to a form convenient to solve by numerical methods. In particular, we prove that Newton's method converges for every $n\ge3$. Third, we derive asymptotic formulas for all eigenvalues, where the errors are uniformly bounded with respect to the number of the eigenvalue., Comment: 29 pages, 5 figures

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with a Haar measure, and $Y$ be a measure space. Suppose that $H$ is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of functions on $G\times Y$, such that $H$ is naturally embedded into $L^2(G\times Y)$ and is invariant under the translations associated with the elements of $G$. Under some additional technical assumptions, we study the W*-algebra $\mathcal{V}$ of translation-invariant bounded linear operators acting on $H$. First, we decompose $\mathcal{V}$ into the direct integral of the W*-algebras of bounded operators acting on the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces $\widehat{H}_\xi$, $\xi\in\widehat{G}$, generated by the Fourier transform of the reproducing kernel. Second, we give a constructive criterion for the commutativity of $\mathcal{V}$. Third, in the commutative case, we construct a unitary operator that simultaneously diagonalizes all operators belonging to $\mathcal{V}$, i.e., converts them into some multiplication operators. Our scheme generalizes many examples previously studied by Nikolai Vasilevski and other authors., Comment: 36 pages, 1 figure, minor changes and corrections in the second version

We introduce a concept of approximately invertible elements in non-unital normed algebras which is, on one side, a natural generalization of invertibility when having approximate identities at hand, and, on the other side, it is a direct extension of topological invertibility to non-unital algebras. Basic observations relate approximate invertibility with concepts of topological divisors of zero and density of (modular) ideals. We exemplify approximate invertibility in the group algebra, Wiener algebras, and operator ideals. For Wiener algebras with approximate identities (in particular, for the Fourier image of the convolution algebra), the approximate invertibility of an algebra element is equivalent to the property that it does not vanish. We also study approximate invertibility and its deeper connection with the Gelfand and representation theory in non-unital abelian Banach algebras as well as abelian and non-abelian C*-algebras.

We prove that the homogeneously polyanalytic functions of total order $m$, defined by the system of equations $\overline{D}^{(k_1,\ldots,k_n)} f=0$ with $k_1+\cdots+k_n=m$, can be written as polynomials of total degree $

Graphite creep has high importance for applications using high pressures (100 MPa) and temperatures close to 2000 {\textdegree}C. In particular, the new flash spark plasma sintering process (FSPS) is highly sensitive to graphite creep when applied to ultra-high temperature materials such as silicon carbide. In this flash process taking only a few seconds, the graphite tooling reaches temperatures higher than 2000 {\textdegree}C resulting in its irreversible deformation. The graphite tooling creep prevents the flash spark plasma sintering process from progressing further. In this study, a finite element model is used to determine FSPS tooling temperatures. In this context, we explore the graphite creep onset for temperatures above 2000 {\textdegree}C and for high pressures. Knowing the graphite high temperature limit, we modify the FSPS process so that the sintering occurs outside the graphite creep range of temperatures/pressures. 95 % dense silicon carbide compacts are obtained in about 30 s using the optimized FSPS.

Monolayer 1T'-WTe2 is a quantum spin Hall insulator with a gapped bulk and gapless helical edge states persisting to temperatures around 100 K. Recent studies have revealed a topological-to-trivial phase transition as well the emergence of an unconventional, potentially topological superconducting state upon tuning the carrier concentration with gating. However, despite extensive studies, the effects of gating on the band structure and the helical edge states have not yet been established. In this work we present a combined low-temperature STM and first principles study of back-gated monolayer 1T'-WTe2 films grown on graphene. Consistent with a quantum spin Hall system, the films show well-defined bulk gaps and clear edge states that span the gap. By directly measuring the density of states with STM spectroscopy, we show that the bulk band gap magnitude shows substantial changes with applied gate voltage, which is contrary to the na\"ive expectation that a gate would rigidly shift the bands relative to the Fermi level. To explain our data, we carry out density functional theory and model Hamiltonian calculations which show that a gate electric field causes doping and inversion symmetry breaking which polarizes and spin-splits the bulk bands. Interestingly, the calculated spin splitting from the effective Rashba-like spin-orbit coupling can be in the tens of meV for the electric fields in the experiment, which may be useful for spintronics applications. Our work reveals the strong effect of electric fields on the bulk band structure of monolayer 1T'-WTe2, which will play a critical role in our understanding of gate-induced phenomena in this system., Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures

A central problem in modern condensed matter physics is the understanding of materials with strong electron correlations. Despite extensive work, the essential physics of many of these systems is not understood and there is very little ability to make predictions in this class of materials. In this manuscript we share our personal views on the major open problems in the field of correlated electron systems. We discuss some possible routes to make progress in this rich and fascinating field. This manuscript is the result of the vigorous discussions and deliberations that took place at Johns Hopkins University during a three-day workshop January 27, 28, and 29, 2020 that brought together six senior scientists and 46 more junior scientists. Our hope, is that the topics we have presented will provide inspiration for others working in this field and motivation for the idea that significant progress can be made on very hard problems if we focus our collective energies., Comment: 55 pages, 19 figures

Let $\mu_\alpha$ be the Lebesgue plane measure on the unit disk with the radial weight $\frac{\alpha+1}{\pi}(1-|z|^2)^\alpha$. Denote by $\mathcal{A}^{2}_{n}$ the space of the $n$-analytic functions on the unit disk, square-integrable with respect to $\mu_\alpha$. Extending the results of Ramazanov (1999, 2002), we explain that disk polynomials (studied by Koornwinder in 1975 and W\"{u}nsche in 2005) form an orthonormal basis of $\mathcal{A}^{2}_{n}$. Using this basis, we provide the Fourier decomposition of $\mathcal{A}^{2}_{n}$ into the orthogonal sum of the subspaces associated with different frequencies. This leads to the decomposition of the von Neumann algebra of radial operators, acting in $\mathcal{A}^{2}_n$, into the direct sum of some matrix algebras. In other words, all radial operators are represented as matrix sequences. In particular, we represent in this form the Toeplitz operators with bounded radial symbols, acting in $\mathcal{A}^{2}_n$. Moreover, using ideas by Engli\v{s} (1996), we show that the set of all Toeplitz operators with bounded generating symbols is not weakly dense in $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{A}^{2}_n)$., Comment: 28 pages, minor corrections

In this paper we study the eigenvalues of Hermitian Toeplitz matrices with the entries $2,-1,0,\ldots,0,-\alpha$ in the first column. Notice that the generating symbol depends on the order $n$ of the matrix. If $|\alpha|\le 1$, then the eigenvalues belong to $[0,4]$ and are asymptotically distributed as the function $g(x)=4\sin^2(x/2)$ on $[0,\pi]$. The situation changes drastically when $|\alpha|>1$ and $n$ tends to infinity. Then the two extreme eigenvalues (the minimal and the maximal one) lay out of $[0,4]$ and converge rapidly to certain limits determined by the value of $\alpha$, whilst all others belong to $[0,4]$ and are asymptotically distributed as $g$. In all cases, we transform the characteristic equation to a form convenient to solve by numerical methods, and derive asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues., Comment: 22 pages, 4 figures
