Abstract

We present an explicit formula for the resolvent of the discrete Laplacian on the square lattice, and compute its asymptotic expansions around thresholds in low dimensions. As a by-product we obtain a closed formula for the fundamental solution to the discrete Laplacian. For the proofs we express the resolvent in a general dimension in terms of the Appell--Lauricella hypergeometric function of type CC outside a disk encircling the spectrum. In low dimensions it reduces to a generalized hypergeometric function, for which certain transformation formulas are available for the desired expansions.
