Parabolic type equations on $p$-adic balls

In this article we solve the Cauchy problem associated to a radial symbol constant on a ball of radius pr and we show that the fundamental solution, Z_r(x, t), vanishes outside the ball of radius p-r

Tate gamma-factors attached to quadratic characters

The goal of this paper is to show the explicit calculations for the Tate gamma factors, in the case of the quadratic characters attached to the Hilbert symbol.

Parabolic-type pseudodifferential equations with elliptic symbols in dimension 3 over $p$-adics

In this paper we deal with the operator defined as 𝑓(∂,𝛼)𝜙:=−1𝜉→𝑥(|𝑓(𝜉)|𝛼𝑝𝑥→𝜉𝜙), where f(ξ) is an elliptic quadratic form of dimension 3 over ℚ p . We study the Cauchy problem associated that operator, and find the fundamental solution and some …

MegaMorph – multiwavelength measurement of galaxy structure: physically meaningful bulge–disc decomposition of galaxies near and far

Bulge–disc decomposition is a valuable tool for understanding galaxies. However, achieving robust measurements of component properties is difficult, even with high-quality imaging, and it becomes even more so with the imaging typical of large …

Galaxy And Mass Assembly: the wavelength-dependent sizes and profiles of galaxies revealed by MegaMorph

We investigate the relationship between colour and structure within galaxies using a large, volume-limited sample of bright, low-redshift galaxies with optical–near-infrared imaging from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey. We fit single-component, …

$p$-Adic elliptic quadratic forms, parabolic-type pseudodifferential equations with variable coefficients and Markov processes

In this article we study the Cauchy problem for a new class of parabolic-type pseudodifferential equations with variable coefficients for which the fundamental solutions are transition density functions of Markov processes in the four dimensional …

The problem of the first return attached to a pseudodifferential operator in dimension 3

In this article we study the problem of first return associated to an elliptic pseudodifferential operator with non-radial symbol of dimension 3 over the p-adics.

MegaMorph – multiwavelength measurement of galaxy structure: Sérsic profile fits to galaxies near and far

We demonstrate a new multiwavelength technique for two-dimensional parametric modelling of galaxy surface-brightness profiles, which we have incorporated into the widely used software GALFIT. Our new method, named GALFITM, extends GALFIT3's current …

Riesz Kernels and Pseudodifferential Operators Attached to Quadratic Forms over $p$-Adic Fields

We study pseudodifferential equations and Riesz kernels attached to certain quadratic forms over p-adic fields. We attach to an elliptic quadratic form of dimension two or four a family of distributions depending on a complex parameter, the Riesz …

MegaMorph – multiwavelength measurement of galaxy structure: complete Sérsic profile information from modern surveys

In this paper, we demonstrate a new method for fitting galaxy profiles which makes use of the full multiwavelength data provided by modern large optical–near-infrared imaging surveys. We present a new version of GALAPAGOS, which utilizes a recently …
