We introduce a novel method for proving ergodicity for skew products of interval exchange transformations (IETs) with piecewise smooth cocycles having singularities at the ends of exchanged intervals. This approach is inspired by…
We review and comment on some works of Euler and his followers on spherical geometry. We start by presenting some memoirs of Euler on spherical trigonometry. We comment on Euler's use of the methods of the calculus of variations in…
We consider the sums $S(k)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{nk}}{(2n+1)^k}$ and $\zeta(2k)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^{2k}}$ with $k$ being a positive integer. We evaluate these sums with multiple integration, a modern technique. First, we…
We define a new class of generating function transformations related to polylogarithm functions, Dirichlet series, and Euler sums. These transformations are given by an infinite sum over the $j^{th}$ derivatives of a sequence generating…
Geometrically, $\int_{a}^{b}\frac{1}{x}dx$ means the area under the curve $\frac{1}{x}$ from $a$ to $b$, where $0<a<b$, and this area gives a positive number. Using this area argument, in this expository note, we present some visual…
We study the ergodic properties (recurrence, discrepancy, diffusion coefficients and ergodicity itself) of a class of $\mathbb Z$-extensions over infinite interval exchange transformations called rotated odometers. The choice of a…
We study some infinite products of absolute zeta functions. Especially, we consider the convergence and the rationality of them.
We study the growth at the golden rotation number of Sudler's sine product. This sequence has been variously studied elsewhere as a skew product of sines, Birkhoff sum, q-Pochhammer symbol (on the unit circle), and restricted Euler…
In the study of Dirichlet series with arithmetic significance there has appeared (through the study of known examples) certain expectations, namely (i) if a functional equation and Euler product exists, then it is likely that a type of…
The uncertainty product of a function is a quantity that measures the trade-off between the space and the frequency localization of the function. Its boundedness from below is the content of various uncertainty principles. In the present…
Recently, Ono and the third author discovered that the reciprocals of the theta series $(q;q)_\infty^3$ and $(q^2;q^2)_\infty(q;q^2)_\infty^2$ have infinitely many closed formulas in terms of MacMahon's quasimodular forms $A_k(q)$ and…
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…
Let $N_{1,B}(n)$ denote the number of ones in the $B$-ary expansion of an integer $n$. Woods introduced the infinite product $P :=\prod_{n \geq 0} (\frac{2n+1}{2n+2})^{(-1)^{N_{1,2}(n)}}$ and Robbins proved that $P = 1/\sqrt{2}$. Related…
In $1735$ Euler \cite{1} proved that for each positive integer $k$, the series $\zeta(2k) = \sum_{\ell=1}^{\infty} \ell^{-2k}$ converges to a rational multiple of $\pi^{2k}$. Many demonstrations of this fact are now known, and Euler's…
Let $D$ be an open disk of radius $\le 1$ in $\mathbb C$, and let $(\epsilon_n)$ be a sequence of $\pm 1$. We prove that for every analytic function $f: D \to \mathbb C$ without zeros in $D$, there exists a unique sequence $(\alpha_n)$ of…
In the present work we show that the Dirichlet series with the Euler product having analytical continuation to the critical strip without singularities, in some natural conditions, can be approximated by partial products of Euler type in…
Geometric sequences are found documented as early as 300BC in the text, Book IX of Elements written by Euclid of Alexandria. In this paper a new principle for identities involving the product of any k-number of terms of a geometric sequence…
In 1769, Euler proved the following result $$ \int_0^{\frac\pi2}\log(\sin \theta) d\theta=-\frac\pi2 \log2. $$ In this paper, as a generalization, we evaluate the definite integrals $$ \int_0^x…
Differential equations are derived which show how generalized Euler vector representations of the Euler rotation axis and angle for a rigid body evolve in time; the Euler vector is also known as a rotation vector or axis-angle vector. The…
Using the log-convexity of the Gamma function and Euler's reflection formula, we give a new proof of a classical weighted sine product inequality. Two different parameter choices yield two competing upper bounds for the same product. We…
