Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Mathematics, entitled New Perspectives in Harmonic Analysis, aims to present recent advances in harmonic analysis and to explore new trends and directions in related areas. We therefore welcome papers that address a range of topics including, but not limited to,  signal and image processing, compressed sensing, coding theory, control theory computational neuroscience, deep learning, information theory, and theoretical, applied, and computational harmonic analysis.

Some large language models (LLMs) are open source and are therefore fully open for scientific study. However, many LLMs are proprietary, and their internals are hidden, which hinders the ability of the research community to study their behavior under controlled conditions. For instance, the token input embedding specifies an internal vector representation of each token used by the model. If the token input embedding is hidden, latent semantic information about the set of tokens is unavailable to researchers. This article presents a general and flexible method for prompting an LLM to reveal its token input embedding, even if this information is not published with the model. Moreover, this article provides strong theoretical justification—a mathematical proof for generic LLMs—for why this method should be expected to work. If the LLM can be prompted systematically and certain benign conditions about the quantity of data collected from the responses are met, the topology of the token embedding is recovered. With this method in hand, we demonstrate its effectiveness by recovering the token subspace of the Llemma-7BLLM. We demonstrate the flexibility of this method by performing the recovery at three different times, each using the same algorithm applied to different information collected from the responses. While the prompting can be a performance bottleneck depending on the size and complexity of the LLM, the recovery runs within a few hours on a typical workstation. The results of this paper apply not only to LLMs but also to general nonlinear autoregressive processes. Full article

This paper develops novel results in the harmonic analysis of Bessel operators, extending their theory to higher-dimensional and non-Euclidean spaces. We present a refined framework for Hardy spaces associated with Bessel operators, emphasizing atomic decompositions, dual spaces, and connections to Sobolev and Besov spaces. The spectral theory of families of boundary-interpolating operators is also expanded, offering precise eigenvalue estimates and functional calculus applications. Furthermore, we explore Bessel operators under non-standard measures, such as fractal and weighted geometries, uncovering new analytical phenomena. Key implications include advanced insights into singular integrals, heat kernel behavior, and the boundedness of Riesz transforms, with potential applications in fractal geometry, constrained wave propagation, and mathematical physics.
