Geometric scattering theory and special functions

by Yiyang Wang
We explain how Gauss' hypergeometric functions and the Heun functions arise in the consideration of the fractional Q-curvature, a type of geometric scattering problem. Our geometric perspective leads to new insights into solutions of the Heun equation.
