We review generalized zeta functions built over the Riemann zeros (in short: "superzeta" functions). They are symmetric functions of the zeros that display a wealth of explicit properties, fully matching the much more elementary Hurwitz…
In this work, it is introduced a new function based on the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann-zeta function. Such function shows an interesting behavior: when the argument of the function grows, it changes from a pseudo-random behavior to a…
The new exact formulas for the attractive Casimir force acting on each of the two perfectly conducting plates moving freely inside an infinite perfectly conducting cylinder with the same cross section are derived at zero and finite…
Motivated by a probabilistic analysis of a simple game (itself inspired by a problem in computational learning theory) we introduce the \emph{moment zeta function} of a probability distribution, and study in depth some asymptotic properties…
A summary of relevant contributions, ordered in time, to the subject of operator zeta functions and their application to physical issues is provided. The description ends with the seminal contributions of Stephen Hawking and Stuart Dowker…
In this paper we are interested in moments of Minkowski question mark function ?(x). It appears that, to certain extent, the results are analogous to the results obtained for objects associated with Maass wave forms: period functions,…
Let $a\in (0,1)$ and let $F_s(a)$ be the periodized zeta function that is defined as $F_s(a) = \sum n^{-s} \exp (2\pi i na)$ for $\Re s >1$, and extended to the complex plane via analytic continuation. Let $s_n = \sigma_n + it_n, \, t_n >0…
We define the zeta function of a finite category. And we propose a conjecture which states the relationship between the Euler characteristic of finite categories and the zeta function of finite categories. This conjecture is verified when…
Standard zeta function regularisation enforces a scale-independent prescription for spectral aggregation, effectively fixing the relative weight of spectral contributions. We relax this constraint by replacing the derivative at $s=0$ with a…
On fractals, spectral functions such as heat kernels and zeta functions exhibit novel features, very different from their behaviour on regular smooth manifolds, and these can have important physical consequences for both classical and…
Recursion formulae of the N-particle partition function, the occupation numbers and its fluctuations are given using the single-particle partition function. Exact results are presented for fermions and bosons in a common one-dimensional…
In this paper, by introducing a new operation in the vector space of analytic functions, the author presents a method for derivating the well-known formulas: $\zeta(1-k)=-\frac{B_k}{k}$ and $\zeta(1-n,a)=-\frac{B_n(a)}{n}$ , where $\zeta$,…
Casimir force encodes the structure of the field modes as vacuum fluctuations and so it is sensitive to the extra dimensions of brane worlds. Now, in flat spacetimes of arbitrary dimension the two standard approaches to the Casimir force,…
One of the many problems to which J.S. Dowker devoted his attention is the effect of a conical singularity in the base manifold on the behavior of the quantum fields. In particular, he studied the small-$t$ asymptotic expansion of the…
This is an expository paper on the meromorphic continuation of zeta functions with Euler products (for example zeta functions of groups and height zeta functions) or without (for example the Goldbach zeta function). As an application we…
We introduce multifractal zeta-functions providing precise information of a very general class of multifractal spectra, including, for example, the multifractal spectra of self-conformal measures and the multifractal spectra of ergodic…
We present a remarkably simple and surprisingly natural interpretation of the values of zeta functions at negative integers and zero. Namely we are able to relate these values to areas related to partial sums of powers. We apply these…
We express the zeta function associated to the Laplacian operator on $S^1_r\times M$ in terms of the zeta function associated to the Laplacian on $M$, where $M$ is a compact connected Riemannian manifold. This gives formulas for the…
The vacuum fluctuations give rise to a number of phenomena; however, the the Casimir Effect is arguably the most salient manifestation of the quantum vacuum. In its most basic form it is realized through the interaction of a pair of neutral…
We introduce a framework to study the random entire function $\zeta_\beta$ whose zeros are given by the Sine$_\beta$ process, the bulk limit of beta ensembles. We present several equivalent characterizations, including an explicit power…
