Some finite series of harmonic numbers involving certain reciprocals are evaluated. Products of such reciprocals are expanded in a sum of the individual reciprocals, leading to a computer program. A list of examples is provided.
We develop a harmonic analysis on objects of some category $C_2$ of infinite-dimensional filtered vector spaces over a finite field. It includes two-dimensional local fields and adelic spaces of algebraic surfaces defined over a finite…
I summarise what lattice methods can contribute to our understanding of the phenomenology of QCD at large Nc and describe some recent work on the physics of SU(Nc) gauge theories. These non-perturbative calculations show that there is…

We study extremal correlation functions of chiral primary operators in the large-N SU(N) ${\cal N} = 2$ superconformal QCD theory and present new results based on supersymmetric localization. We discuss extensively the basis-independent…
The richly developed theory of complex manifolds plays important roles in our understanding of holomorphic functions in several complex variables. It is natural to consider manifolds that will play similar roles in the theory of holomorphic…
I review the treatment of high-energy QCD in Minkowski space, with an emphasis on factorization theorems as extensions of the operator product expansion. I discuss how the factorization properties of high-energy cross sections and…

The feasibility of studying, numerically, properties of infinite volume QCD-like theories in the large $N$ limit using coherent state variational methods is reassessed. An entirely new implementation of this approach is described,…
We describe the structural relations between nested harmonic sums emerging in the description of physical single scale quantities up to the 3--loop level in renormalizable gauge field theories. These are weight {\sf w=6} harmonic sums. We…
We investigate variants of a Three Circles type Theorem in the context of \mathcal{Q}-valued functions. We prove some convexity inequalities related to the L^{2} growth function in the \mathcal{Q}-valued settings. Optimality of these…
We express some general type of infinite series such as $$ \sum^\infty_{n=1}\frac{F(H_n^{(m)}(z),H_n^{(2m)}(z),\ldots,H_n^{(\ell m)}(z))} {(n+z)^{s_1}(n+1+z)^{s_2}\cdots (n+k-1+z)^{s_k}}, $$ where $F(x_1,\ldots,x_\ell)\in\mathbb…
In terms of the derivative operator and three hypergeometric series identities, several interesting summation formulas involving generalized harmonic numbers are established.
We compute correlation functions of chiral primary operators in N=2 superconformal theories at large N using a construction based on supersymmetric localization recently developed by Gerchkovitz et al. We focus on N=4 SYM as well as on…
In this course of lectures we give an account of the growth theory of subharmonic functions, which is directed towards its applications to entire functions of one and several complex variables.
This talk comments the main features of a hadronic description of QCD in the limit of large number of colours. We derive a quantum field theory for mesons based on chiral symmetry and a perturbative expansion in 1/NC. Some large-NC and…
Two and three point functions of composite operators are analysed with regard to (logarithmically) divergent contact terms. Using the renormalisation group of dimensional regularisation it is established that the divergences are governed by…
We consider the size of large character sums, proving new lower bounds for the quantity $\Delta(N,q) = \sup_{\chi\neq \chi_0 mod q} |\sum_{n < N} \chi(n)|$ for almost all ranges of $N$. The results are proven using the resonance method and…
The concept of QCD sum rules is extended to bound states composed of particles with finite mass such as scalar quarks or strange quarks. It turns out that mass corrections become important in this context. The number of relevant corrections…
We study three different $q$-analogues of the harmonic numbers. As applications, we present some generating functions involving number theoretical functions and give the $q$-generalization of Gosper's exponential generating function of…
