Integral involving square of associated Laguerre polynomial and sperical bessel function
In a quantum mechanical problem I encountered the integral
$$I_k=\int_0^\infty x^{2(l+1)-k}j_k(\sigma x)e^{-x}[L_{n-l-1}^{2l+1}(x)]^2 dx,$$
where $j_k(x)$ is a spherical Bessel function, and $\sigma$ ...

Positivity of the Coulomb energy in two dimensions
In dimensions $d\geq 3$ the Coulomb energy is always non-negative (since the Fourier transform of $\frac{1}{\|\cdot\|^{d-2}}$ is non-negative). What can one say about positivity properties of the ...
