We point out that the recently developed strong-coupling theory enables us to calculate the three main critical exponents nu, eta, omega, from the knowledge of only the two renormalization constants Z_phi of wave function and Z_m of mass.…
The sum formula is a basic identity of multiple zeta values that expresses a Riemann zeta value as a homogeneous sum of multiple zeta values of a given dimension. This formula was already known to Euler in the dimension two case,…
We postulate the existence of a self-adjoint operator associated to a system with countably infinite number of degrees of freedom whose spectrum is the sequence of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We assume that it…
The Mellin transform and several Dirichlet series related with the Riemann zeta function are used to deduce some identities similar to the classical M\"untz formula [4]. These formulas are derived in the critical strip and in the half-plane…
We prove several claims made by Kontsevich about the orbifold Euler characteristic of the three types of graph homology introduced by him. For this purpose, first we develop a simplified version of the Feynman diagram method, which requires…
This paper is concerned with the generalized Euler polynomial matrix $\E^{(\alpha)}(x)$ and the Euler matrix $\E$. Taking into account some properties of Euler polynomials and numbers, we deduce product formulae for $\E^{(\alpha)}(x)$ and…
Dating back to Euler, in classical analysis and number theory, the Hurwitz zeta function $$ \zeta(z,q)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+q)^{z}}, $$ the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$, the generalized Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(q)$, the…
The Riemann Hypothesis, originally proposed by the eminent mathematician Bernard Riemann in 1859, remains one of the most profound challenges in number theory. It posits that all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function {\zeta}(s) are…
A product of two hypergeometric series is generally not hypergeometric. However, there are a few cases when such product does reduce to a single hypergeometric series. The oldest result of this type, beyond the obvious…
The Riemann Hypothesis has been of central interest to mathematicians for a long time and many unsuccessful attempts have been made to either prove or disprove it. Since the Riemann zeta function is defined as a sum of the infinite number…
In this paper we explore special values of Gaussian hypergeometric functions in terms of products of Euler $\Gamma$-functions and exponential functions of linear functions of the hypergeometric parameters. They include some classical…
Maxwell's mature presentation of his equations emphasized the unity of electromagnetism and mechanics, subsuming both as "dynamical systems". That intuition of unity has proved both fruitful, as a source of pregnant concepts, and broadly…
The renormalization group method developed by Ken Wilson more than four decades ago has revolutionized the way we think about problems involving a broad range of energy scales such as phase transitions, turbulence, continuum limits and…
In previous work, I described several examples combining reduction and emergence: where reduction is understood a la Ernest Nagel, and emergence is understood as behaviour or properties that are novel (by some salient standard). Here, my…
The Riemann zeta function at integer arguments can be written as an infinite sum of certain hypergeometric functions and more generally the same can be done with polylogarithms, for which several zeta functions are a special case. An…
In this paper, by introducing a new operation in the vector space of Laurent series, the author derived explicit series for the values of $\zeta$-funtion at positive integers, where $\zeta$ denotes the Riemann zeta function. The values of…
Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's…
New estimates of the critical exponents have been obtained from the field-theoretical renormalization group using a new method for summing divergent series. The results almost coincide with the central values obtained by Le Guillou and…
This is a translation of Euler's Latin paper "De fractionibus continuis observationes" into English. In this paper Euler describes his theory of continued fractions. He teaches, how to transform series into continued fractions, solves the…
This report (written in French) is devoted to studying special functions the most used in physics. Special functions are a very broad branch of mathematics, theoretical physics, and mathematical physics. They appeared in the nineteenth…
