This is an expository paper which gives a simple arithmetic introduction to the conjectures of Weil and Dwork concerning zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields. A number of further open questions are raised.

In the paper, the author expresses the difference $2^m\bigl[\zeta\bigl(-m,\frac{1+x}{2}\bigr)-\zeta\bigl(-m,\frac{2+x}{2}\bigr)\bigr]$ in terms of a linear combination of the function $\Gamma(m+1){\,}_2F_1(-m,-x;1;2)$ for $m\in\mathbb{N}_0$…

We calculate a certain mean-value of meromorphic functions by using specific ergodic transformations, which we call affine Boolean transformations. We use Birkhoff's ergodic theorem to transform the mean-value into a computable integral…

We define an enrichment of the logarithmic derivative of the zeta function of a variety over a finite field to a power series with coefficients in the Grothendieck--Witt group. We show that this enrichment is related to the topology of the…

In this paper we determine a class of entire functions using conditions on their odd and even parts. Further it is shown that the zeros of members of this class are localized in a very special way. This result allows us to treat a…

We study the convolution function $$ C[f(x)] := \int_1^x f(y)f({x\over y}) {{\rm d} y\over y} $$ when $f(x)$ is a suitable number-theoretic error term. Asymptotics and upper bounds for $C[f(x)]$ are derived from mean square bounds for…

For each $a \in \mathbb{R}$, we define a Borel function $f_a : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ which encodes $a$ in a certain sense. We show that for each Borel $g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, $f_a \cap g = \emptyset$ implies $a \in…

In this note, we characterize all functions $f : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ such that $f(x_1^2+ \cdots + x_k^2)=f(x_1)^2+ \cdots + f(x_k)^2$, where $k \geq 3$ and $x_1, \cdots, x_k$ are positive integers.

Let $K$ be a quadratic field, and let $\zeta_K$ its Dedekind zeta function. In this paper we introduce a factorization of $\zeta_K$ into two functions, $L_1$ and $L_2$, defined as partial Euler products of $\zeta_K$, which lead to a…

Recent advances in image and signal processing have drawn on geometric function theory, particularly coefficient estimate problems. Motivated by their significance, we introduce a class of starlike functions related to a balloon-shaped…

We exploit some properties of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (n,x)$ in order to study sums of the form $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}1/(jk+l)^{n}$ and $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}(-1)^{j}/(jk+l)^{n}$ for $%…

In this paper, we construct the alternating multiple q-zeta function(= Multiple Euler q-zeta function) and investigate their properties. Finally, we give some interesting functional eauations related to q-Euler polynomials.

In this paper we introduce a new infinite set of transcendental integrals. Each of them is expressed by corresponding value of the function $|\zf|^{-2}$. Such a property is another argument about universality of the Riemann zeta-function…

In the paper we study a class $F$ of multiparameter functions defined in terms of a polybasic $s$-adic $Q^{*}_{s}$-representation of numbers by \begin{equation*} f_a\bigl(x=\Delta^{Q^{*}_s}_{\alpha_1\alpha_2\ldots\alpha_n\ldots}\bigr) =…

We adapt (over $\mathbb{F}_2$) the general notions of multiplicative function, Dirichlet convolution and Inverse. We get some interesting results, namely necessary conditions for an odd binary polynomial to be perfect. Note that we are…

Properties of the four families of recently introduced special functions of two real variables, denoted here by $E^\pm$, and $\cos^\pm$, are studied. The superscripts $^+$ and $^-$ refer to the symmetric and antisymmetric functions…

We introduce the unified double zeta function of Mordell--Tornheim type and compute its values at non-positive integer points. We then discuss a possible generalization of the Kaneko--Zagier conjecture for all integer points.

The Collatz conjecture can be stated in terms of the reduced Collatz function R(x) = (3x+1)/2^m (where 2^m is the larger power of 2 that divides 3x+1). The conjecture is: Starting from any odd positive integer and repeating R(x) we…

We define a new ${\mathbb Z}_2$-graded quantum (2+1)-space and show that the extended ${\mathbb Z}_2$-graded algebra of polynomials on this ${\mathbb Z}_2$-graded quantum space, denoted by ${\cal F}({\mathbb C}_q^{2\vert1})$, is a ${\mathbb…

Given primes $\ell\ne p$, we record here a $p$-adic valued Fourier theory on a local field over $\mathbf{Q}_\ell$, which is developed under the perspective of group schemes. As an application, by substituting rigid analysis for complex…
