    Lattice models and super telescoping formula

    Full text link
    In this paper, we introduce the super telescoping formula, a natural generalization of well-known telescoping formula. We explore various aspects of the formula including its origin and the telescoping cancellations emerging from symmetric patterns. We also show that the super telescoping formula leads to the construction of exactly solvable lattice models with interesting partition functions.Comment: 14 page

    Inversion and Symmetries of the Star Transform

    Full text link
    The star transform is a generalized Radon transform mapping a function of two variables to its integrals along "star-shaped" trajectories, which consist of a finite number of rays emanating from a common vertex. Such operators appear in mathematical models of various imaging modalities based on scattering of elementary particles. The paper presents a comprehensive study of the inversion of the star transform. We describe the necessary and sufficient conditions for invertibility of the star transform, introduce a new inversion formula and discuss its stability properties. As an unexpected bonus of our approach, we prove a conjecture from algebraic geometry about the zero sets of elementary symmetric polynomials
