We consider the Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\eta W} = -\Delta + \eta W$, self-adjoint in $L^2({\mathbb R}^d)$, $d \geq 1$. Here $\eta$ is a non constant almost periodic function, while $W$ decays slowly and regularly at infinity. We study…

New deformed affine algebras A_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat{g}) are defined for any simply-laced classical Lie algebra g, which are generalizations of the algebra A_{\hbar,\eta}(\hat{sl_2}) recently proposed by Khoroshkin, Lebedev and Pakuliak (KLP).…

We give an explicit characterization of the most general quasi-Hermitian operator H, the associated metric operators \eta_+, and \eta_+-pseudo-Hermitian operators acting in two-dimensional complex Euclidean space C^2. These operators…

By applying the inverse Mellin transform to some simple closed form identities, a number of relationships are established that connect integrals containing Riemann's and Hurwitz' zeta functions ($\zeta(s)$ and $\zeta(s,a)$) and their…

A strong from of invariance under a group G is manifested in a family over the classifying space BG. We advocate a differential-geometric avatar of BG when G is a Lie group. Applied to G-equivariant connections on smooth principal or vector…

A dispersion integral is derived that connects data on $\eta\to \pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ to the $\eta\to \gamma\gamma^*$ transition form factor. A detailed analysis of the uncertainties is provided. We find for the slope of the $\eta$ transition…

A families index theorem in K-theory is given for the setting of Atiyah, Patodi and Singer of a family of Dirac operators with spectral boundary condition. This result is deduced from such a K-theory index theorem for the calculus of cusp,…

A product system E over a semigroup P is a family of Hilbert spaces {E_s:s\in P} together with multiplications E_s \times E_t\to E_{st}. We view E as a unitary- valued cocycle on P, and consider twisted crossed products A \times_{\beta,E} P…

We give an independent eta-product derivation of the level-8 Apery limit lim B_n^{(8)}/s_n = (7/32) zeta(3), where s_n = sum_{k=0}^n C(n,k)^2 C(2k,n)^2 and B_n^{(8)} is the rational companion sequence satisfying the same cubic recurrence…

A cuspidal end is a type of metric singularity, described as a product $S^1 \times \left] a, +\infty \right[$ with the Poincar\'e metric. The underlying set can also be seen as $\mathbb{R} \times \left] a, +\infty \right[$ subject to the…

The contraction semigroup $S(t)={\rm e}^{t\mathbb{A}}$ generated by the abstract linear dissipative evolution equation $$ \ddot u + A u + f(A) \dot u=0 $$ is analyzed, where $A$ is a strictly positive selfadjoint operator and $f$ is an…

The pseudo-determinant Det(A) of a square matrix A is defined as the product of the nonzero eigenvalues of A. It is a basis-independent number which is up to a sign the first nonzero entry of the characteristic polynomial of A. We prove…

This paper is essentially a short version of hep-th/9404046. We compute multiplicative anomaly det(AB)/(detA detB) =F(A,B) for elliptic pseudo-differential operators (PDOs) A, B on a closed manifold M in terms of their symbols. We prove…

We study two special cases of the equivariant index defined in part I of this series. We apply this index to deformations of Spin$^c$-Dirac operators, invariant under actions by possibly noncompact groups, with possibly noncompact orbit…

In 2013, Lemke Oliver classified all eta-quotients which are theta functions. In this paper, we unify the eta-theta functions by constructing mock modular forms from the eta-theta functions with even characters, such that the shadows of…

Congruence families, i.e., $\ell$-adic convergence for well-defined arithmetic subsequences, is a commonplace phenomenon for the coefficients of modular forms. Such families superficially resemble one another, but they often vary…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$, let $\mathsf{C}$ be a finite split category, let $\alpha$ be a 2-cocycle of $\mathsf{C}$ with values in the multiplicative group of $k$, and consider the resulting twisted category algebra…

We study the dependence of the eta invariant $\eta_D$ on the spin structure, where $D$ is a twisted Dirac operator on a (4k+3)-dimensional spin manifold. The difference between the eta invariants for two spin structures related by a…

We consider the spin-c Dirac operator on the unit circle bundle of a positive line bundle over a Fano manifold of even complex dimension. We compute the corresponding eta invariant in terms of Zhang's value of its adiabatic limit. This…

We represent the Euler alternating series (sometimes called the "Dirichlet eta function"), and generally $(b^s-b)\zeta(s)/b^s$ for $b>1$ an integer, in the half-plane $\Re s>0$, via series dominated by geometric series, with arbitrarily…
