Findings
Established links between umbral calculus and harmonic analysis.
Developed a framework using convolution algebras of cancellative semigroups.
Provided new tools for describing objects across the three mathematical fields.
Abstract
We describe some connections between three different fields: combinatorics (umbral calculus), functional analysis (linear functionals and operators) and harmonic analysis (convolutions on group-like structures). Systematic usage of cancellative semigroup, their convolution algebras, and tokens between them provides a common language for description of objects from these three fields. Keywords: cancellative semigroups, umbral calculus, harmonic analysis, token, convolution algebra, integral transform
