The Weyl–Mellin quantization map

In this paper, we present a quantization of the functions of spacetime, i.e. a map, analog to Weyl map, which reproduces the [Formula: see text]-Minkowski commutation relations, and it has the desirable properties of mapping square integrable functions into Hilbert–Schmidt operators, as well as real functions into symmetric operators. The map is based on Mellin transform on radial and time coordinates. The map also defines a deformed ∗ product which we discuss with examples.

Celestial dual superconformal symmetry, MHV amplitudes and differential equations

Celestial and momentum space amplitudes for massless particles are related to each other by a change of basis provided by the Mellin transform. Therefore properties of celestial amplitudes have counterparts in momentum space amplitudes and vice versa. In this paper, we study the celestial avatar of dual superconformal symmetry of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 Yang-Mills theory. We also analyze various differential equations known to be satisfied by celestial n-point tree-level MHV amplitudes and identify their momentum space origins.

A Generalized Stochastic Cost–Volume–Profit Model

Cost–volume–profit (CVP) analysis is a widely used decision tool across many business disciplines. The current literature on stochastic applications of the CVP model is limited in that the model is studied under the restrictive forms of the Gaussian and Lognormal distributions. In this paper we introduce the Mellin Transform as a methodology to generalize stochastic modeling of the CVP problem. We demonstrate the versatility of using the Mellin transform to model the CVP problem, and present a generalization of the CVP model when the contribution margin and sales volume are both defined by continuous random distributions.

Dislocations in an arbitrary angle wedge. Part I: The dislocation kernel

We consider the state of stress created by the presence of an edge dislocation at an arbitrary position, in a wedge of arbitrary internal angle. A method for determining the state of stress in the wedge is demonstrarted and verified against finite element method simulations. Furthermore, a Mellin transform is employed to ensure that the free surfaces of the wedge remain traction free along their length.

Products of Toeplitz Operators on the 2-Analytic Bergman Space

Let f and g be bounded functions, and let T f and T g be Toeplitz operators on A 2 2 D . We show that if the product T f T g equals zero and one of f and g is a radial function satisfying a Mellin transform condition, then the other function must be zero.

Mellin amplitudes for 1d CFT

We define a Mellin amplitude for CFT1 four-point functions. Its analytical properties are inferred from physical requirements on the correlator. We discuss the analytic continuation that is necessary for a fully nonperturbative definition of the Mellin transform. The resulting bounded, meromorphic function of a single complex variable is used to derive an infinite set of nonperturbative sum rules for CFT data of exchanged operators, which we test on known examples. We then consider the perturbative setup produced by quartic interactions with an arbitrary number of derivatives in a bulk AdS2 field theory. With our formalism, we obtain a closed-form expression for the Mellin transform of tree-level contact interactions and for the first correction to the scaling dimension of “two-particle” operators exchanged in the generalized free field theory correlator.

MHV gluon scattering amplitudes from celestial current algebras

We show that the Mellin transform of an n-point tree level MHV gluon scattering amplitude, also known as the celestial amplitude in pure Yang-Mills theory, satisfies a system of (n−2) linear first order partial differential equations corresponding to (n−2) positive helicity gluons. Although these equations closely resemble Knizhnik-Zamoldochikov equations for SU(N) current algebra there is also an additional “correction” term coming from the subleading soft gluon current algebra. These equations can be used to compute the leading term in the gluon-gluon OPE on the celestial sphere. Similar equations can also be written down for the momentum space tree level MHV scattering amplitudes. We also propose a way to deal with the non closure of subleading current algebra generators under commutation. This is then used to compute some subleading terms in the mixed helicity gluon OPE.

Mellin Transform of Logarithm and Quotient Function with Reducible Quartic Polynomial in Terms of the Lerch Function

A class of definite integrals involving a quotient function with a reducible polynomial, logarithm and nested logarithm functions are derived with a possible connection to contact problems for a wedge. The derivations are expressed in terms of the Lerch function. Special cases are also derived in terms fundamental constants. The majority of the results in this work are new.
