The existence of a light S=+1 baryon resonance follows from Quantum Field Theory applied to baryons. This is illustrated in the Skyrme model (where Theta+ exists but is too strong) and in a new mean field approach where Theta+ arises as a…
Results of extensive computations of moments of the Riemann zeta function on the critical line are presented. Calculated values are compared with predictions motivated by random matrix theory. The results can help in deciding between those…
We consider a Dirichlet series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n^{-s}$, where $a_n$ satisfies a linear recurrence of arbitrary degree with integer coefficients. Under suitable hypotheses, we prove that it has a meromorphic continuation to the complex…
This article discusses the classical problem of how to calculate $r_n(m)$, the number of ways to represent an integer $m$ by a sum of $n$ squares from a computational efficiency viewpoint. Although this problem has been studied in great…
Feynman gave a famous elementary introduction to quantum theory by discussing the thin-film reflection of light. We make his discussion mathematically rigorous, keeping it elementary, using his other idea. The resulting model leads to…
This paper shows the equivalence of the Riemann hypothesis to an sequence of elementary inequalities involving the harmonic numbers H_n, the sum of the reciprocals of the integers from 1 to n. It is a modification of a criterion due to Guy…
We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…
In this paper, we study a family of single variable integral representations for some products of $\zeta(2n+1)$, where $\zeta(z)$ is Riemann zeta function and $n$ is positive integer. Such representation involves the integral…
If $0 < \gamma_1 \le \gamma_2 \le \gamma_3 \le \ldots$ denote ordinates of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$, then several results involving the maximal order of $\gamma_{n+1}-\gamma_n$ and the sum $$ \sum_{0<\gamma_n\le…
If neutrino masses and mixings are suitable to explain the atmospheric and solar neutrino fluxes, this amounts to contributions to FCNC processes, in particular mu --> e, gamma. If the theory is supersymmetric and the origin of the masses…
Using elementary methods we find surprising connections between the values of the Riemann Zeta Function over integers and the fractional parts of rational powers, and a connection between the Riemann Zeta Function and the Prime Zeta…
Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function $\eta(s)$, and hence Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$, is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function $E_{s}(i\kappa)$ of…
Riemann's hypothesis, formulated in 1859, concerns the location of the zeros of Riemann's Zeta function. The history of the Riemann hypothesis is well known. In 1859, the German mathematician B. Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin…
By using ideas and strong results borrowed from the classical moment problem, we show how -under very general conditions- a discrete number of values of the spectral zeta function (associated generically with a non-decreasing sequence of…
We identify a partition-theoretic generalization of Riemann zeta function and the equally positive integer-indexed harmonic sums at infinity, to obtain the generating function and the integral representations of the latter. The special…
This encyclopedia article addresses questions like the following. How does the Sun shine? Does the neutrino have a mass? Are there weak interactions beyond those described by the standard model of particle physics?
It is classically known that the proportion of lattice points visible from the origin via functions of the form $f(x)=nx$ with $n\in \mathbb{Q}$ is $\frac{1}{\zeta(2)}$ where $\zeta(s)$ is the classical Reimann zeta function. Goins, Harris,…
For an arbitrary complex number $a\neq 0$ we consider the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta$ at the $a$-points of the function $\Delta$ which appears in the functional equation $\zeta(s)=\Delta(s)\zeta(1-s)$. These…
For $k\leq n$, let $E(mn,k)$ be the sum of all multiple zeta values of depth $k$ and weight $mn$ with arguments are multiples of $m\geq 2$. More precisely, $E(mn,k)=\sum_{|\boldsymbol{\alpha}|=n}\zeta(m\alpha_1,m\alpha_2,\ldots,…
By considering the prime zeta function, the author intended to demonstrate in that the Riemann zeta function zeta(s) does not vanish for Re(s)>1/2, which would have proven the Riemann hypothesis. However, he later realised that the proof of…
