Abstract

Let φ\varphi be the H\"ormander--Bernhardsson extremal function, and let (±τn)n1(\pm\tau_n)_{n\ge1} be its real zeros. Using the recent analytic description of the zero set τn{\tau_n}, we prove that the squared zeros λn=τn2\lambda_n=\tau_n^{2} form an admissible sequence in the sense of Quine--Heydari--Song: the heat trace Θ(t)=n1eλnt\Theta(t)=\sum_{n\ge1}e^{-\lambda_n t} has a full t0+t\to0^{+} expansion in pure powers of t1/2t^{1/2}. The proof is based on an analytic normal form λn=(n+12)2+q!((n+12)2), \lambda_n=\Bigl(n+\tfrac12\Bigr)^2+q!\Bigl(\Bigl(n+\tfrac12\Bigr)^{-2}\Bigr), a uniform Taylor expansion in tt, and a Mellin--Hurwitz zeta analysis of the resulting weighted Gaussian sums. As applications we obtain meromorphic continuation and special-value information for the associated spectral zeta function and zeta-regularized product, sharp large-parameter asymptotics for the canonical product n(1+z/λn)\prod_{n}(1+z/\lambda_n). In particular, we deduce the conjecture by Bondarenko--Ortega-Cerd\`a--Radchenko--Seip for the special values of the Dirichlet-type series attached to φ\varphi. We also establish a parity dichotomy: sequences (τnm)(\tau_n^m) are QHS--admissible for even mm, while for odd mm a nonzero tlogtt\log t term obstructs admissibility.
