In the paper, we introduce $q$-deformations of the Riemann zeta function, extend them to the whole complex plane, and establish certain estimates of the number of roots. The construction is based on the recent difference generalization of…

In this paper we consider an aggregation model f: X1 x ... x Xn --> Y for arbitrary sets X1, ..., Xn and a finite distributive lattice Y, factorizable as f(x1, ..., xn) = p(u1(x1), ..., un(xn)), where p is an n-variable lattice polynomial…

For a generic value of the central charge, we prove the holomorphic factorization of partition functions for free superconformal fields which are defined on a compact Riemann surface without boundary. The partition functions are viewed as…

We construct a class of representations of the quadratic R-matrix algebra, given by the reflection equation with the spectral parameter, in terms of certain ordinary difference operators. These operators turn out to act as parameter…

Fix $\delta\in(0,1]$, $\sigma_0\in[0,1)$ and a real-valued function $\varepsilon(x)$ for which $\limsup_{x\to\infty}\varepsilon(x)\le 0$. For every set of primes ${\mathcal P}$ whose counting function $\pi_{\mathcal P}(x)$ satisfies an…

We extend our previous work on hypergeometric point count formulas by proving that we can express the number of points on families of Dwork hypersurfaces $$X_{\lambda}^d: \hspace{.1in} x_1^d+x_2^d+\ldots+x_d^d=d\lambda x_1x_2\cdots x_d$$…

This paper generalizes Bass' work on zeta functions for uniform tree lattices. Using the theory of von Neumann algebras, machinery is developed to define the zeta function of a discrete group of automorphisms of a bounded degree tree. The…

Let $q=p^n$ be an odd prime power and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements. Let $\widehat{\mathbb{F}_q^{\times}}$ be the group of all multiplicative characters of $\mathbb{F}_q$ and let $\chi$ be a generator of…

The zeta functions for the Schr\"odinger equation with a triangular potential are investigated. Values of the zeta functions are computed using both the Weierstrass factorization theorem and analytic continuation via contour integration.…

The paper reviews Dwork's p-adic analytic methods used in the Weil Conjectures. The first two chapters review a version of his proof of the rationality conjecture. The rest of the paper is devoted to Dwork's original cohomological methods,…

For a divisor representing a function and another divisor representing a differential form on a normal surface singularity, there is a notion of motivic and topological zeta function. In this paper, given a finite morphism between two…

It is well known that a polynomial $\phi(X)\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ of given degree $d$ factors into at most $d$ factors in $\mathbb{F}_p$ for any prime $p$. We prove in this paper the existence of infinitely many primes $q$ so that the given…

The aim of this paper is to show how zeta functions and excision in cyclic cohomology may be combined to obtain index theorems. In the first part, we obtain a local index formula for "abstract elliptic pseudodifferential operators"…

This is the second of two papers introducing and investigating two bivariate zeta functions associated to unipotent group schemes over rings of integers of number fields. In the first part, we proved some of their properties such as…

In the lecture notes we start off with an introduction to the $q$-hypergeometric series, or basic hypergeometric series, and we derive some elementary summation and transformation results. Then the $q$-hypergeometric difference equation is…

We consider the variation of two fundamental types of zeta functions that arise in the study of both physical and analytical problems in geometric settings involving conical singularities. These are the Barnes zeta functions and the Bessel…

We present a special-purpose algorithm for factoring semiprimes $N = pq$ in which one prime factor satisfies $p \approx c\,(a/b)^n$ for positive integers $a, b, c, n$ with $a > b$ and $\gcd(a,b) = 1$. Given the correct parameters $(a, b)$,…

We prove that if two Calabi-Yau invertible pencils have the same dual weights, then they share a common factor in their zeta functions. By using Dwork cohomology, we demonstrate that this common factor is related to a hypergeometric…
