Non-commutative Hilbert modular symbols

The main goal of this paper is to construct non-commutative Hilbert modular symbols. However, we also construct commutative Hilbert modular symbols. Both the commutative and the non-commutative Hilbert modular symbols are generalizations of Manin's classical and non-commutative modular symbols. We prove that many cases of (non-)commutative Hilbert modular symbols are periods in the sense on Kontsevich-Zagier. Hecke operators act naturally on them. Manin defines the non-commutative modilar symbol in terms of iterated path integrals. In order to define non-commutative Hilbert modular symbols, we use a generalization of iterated path integrals to higher dimensions, which we call iterated integrals on membranes. Manin examines similarities between non-commutative modular symbol and multiple zeta values both in terms of infinite series and in terms of iterated path integrals. Here we examine similarities in the formulas for non-commutative Hilbert modular symbol and multiple Dedekind zeta values, recently defined by the author, both in terms of infinite series and in terms of iterated integrals on membranes.Comment: 50 pages, 5 figures, substantial improvement of the article arXiv:math/0611955 [math.NT], the portions compared to the previous version are: Hecke operators, periods and some categorical construction

Strictly nilpotent elements and bispectral operators in the Weyl algebra

In this paper we give another characterization of the strictly nilpotent elements in the Weyl algebra, which (apart from the polynomials) turn out to be all bispectral operators with polynomial coefficients. This also allows to reformulate in terms of bispectral operators the famous conjecture, that all the endomorphisms of the Weyl algebra are automorphisms (Dixmier, Kirillov, etc).Comment: 11 pages, to appear in Bull.

Bispectral operators of prime order

The aim of this paper is to solve the bispectral problem for bispectral operators whose order is a prime number. More precisely we give a complete list of such bispectral operators. We use systematically the operator approach and in particular - Dixmier ideas on the first Weyl algebra. When the order is 2 the main theorem is exactly the result of Duistermaat-Gr\"unbaum . On the other hand our proofs seem to be simpler.Comment: 25 pages, to appear in CM

Automorphisms of algebras and Bochner`s property for discrete vector orthogonal polynomials

We construct new families of discrete vector orthogonal polynomials that have the property to be eigenfunctions of some difference operator. They are extensions of Charlier, Meixner and Kravchuk polynomial systems. The ideas behind our approach lie in the studies of bispectral operators. We exploit automorphisms of associative algebras which transform elementary (vector) orthogonal polynomial systems which are eigenfunctions of a difference operator into other systems of this type. While the extension of Charlier polynomilas is well known it is obtained by different methods. The extension of Meixner polynomial system is new.Comment: 14 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1512.0389

Non-abelian reciprocity laws on a Riemann surface

On a Riemann surface there are relations among the periods of holomorphic differential forms, called Riemann's relations. If one looks carefully in Riemann's proof, one notices that he uses iterated integrals. What I have done in this paper is to generalize these relations to relations among generating series of iterated integrals. Since the main result is formulated in terms of generating series, it gives infinitely many relations - one for each coefficient of the generating series. The lower order terms give the well known classical relations. The new result is reciprocity for the higher degree terms, which give non-trivial relations among iterated integrals on a Riemann surface. As an application we refine the definition of Manin's noncommutative modular symbol in order to include Eisenstein series. Finally, we have to point out that this paper contains some constructions needed for multidimensional reciprocity laws like a refinement of one of the Kato-Parshin reciprocity laws.Comment: 21 pages; Submitted to International Mathematics Research Notices
