Abstract: It is shown that the integrals of the Jacobi polynomials �egin{equation*}%label{eq:Fn^J} int_0^t (t- heta)^delta P_n^{(alpha-frac12,�eta-frac12)}(cos heta) left(sin frac{ heta}2 ight)^{2 alpha} left(cos frac{ heta}2 ight)^{2 �eta} d heta > 0 end{equation*} for all $tin(0,pi]$ and $ninmathbbN$ if $deltagealpha+1$ for $$ and $$. This proves a conjecture on the integral of the Gegenbauer polynomials in cite{BCX} that implies the strictly positive definiteness of the function $hetamapsto(t-heta{)}_{+}^{d}elta$ on the unit sphere $mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ for $deltagelceilfracd2ceil$ and the Poly`a criterion for positive definite functions on the sphere for all dimensions. Moreover, the positive definiteness of the function $hetamapsto(t-heta{)}_{+}^{d}elta$ is also established on the compact two-point homogeneous spaces.
