The following problem originates from Physics, so I apologize if I will not use a rigorous mathematical jargon. Let us consider a toroidal helix parametrized as follows: $$ x=(R+r\cos(n\phi))\cos(\phi)...

From numerical experiments in Mathematica, I have found the following expression for the integral: $$ \int_{-1}^{1}h_{n}^{(1)}\left(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+2ab\tau}\right)P_{n}^{m}\left(\frac{a\tau+b}{\sqrt{...

I was looking at a paper by Takao Suyama on GT theory, and I couldn't figure out how he derived his formula (3.59): $$\frac{1}{\pi}\int_a^bdx\frac{1}{z-x}\frac{\sqrt{(z-a)(z-b)}}{\sqrt{|(x-a)(x-b)|}}\...
