We compute Fourier transforms of functions expressed as a ratio of one of the Jacobi elliptic functions divided by $\sinh(\pi x)$ or $\cosh(\pi x)$. In many cases, the resulting Fourier transform remains within the same class of functions.…

We evaluate the classic sum $\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} e^{-\pi n^2}$. The novelty of our approach is that it does not require any prior knowledge about modular forms, elliptic functions or analytic continuations. Even the $\Gamma$ function, in…

Consider a non-increasing function $\Psi$ from the positive reals to the positive reals with decay $o(1/x)$ as $x$ tends to infinity. Jarnik proved in 1930 that there exist real numbers $\zeta_{1},...,\zeta_{k}$ together with $1$ linearly…

Various properties of the Mellin transform function $$ {\cal M}_k(s) := \int_1^\infty Z^k(x)x^{-s}dx $$ are investigated, where $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\bigl(\chi(1/2+it)\bigr)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s) $$ is Hardy's…

We define reduced zeta functions of Lie algebras, which can be derived from motivic zeta functions using the Euler characteristic. We show that reduced zeta functions of Lie algebras possessing a suitably well-behaved basis are easy to…

We prove closed-form identities for the sequence of moments $\int t^{2n}|\Gamma(s)\zeta(s)|^2dt$ on the whole critical line $s=1/2+it$. They are finite sums involving binomial coefficients, Bernoulli numbers, Stirling numbers and $\pi$,…

For an irrational number $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ we consider its irrationality measure function $$ \psi_\alpha(x) = \min_{1\le q\le x,\, q\in\mathbb{Z}} \| q\alpha \|. $$ It is known for all irrational numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfying…

The Riemann Xi-function Xi(t) belongs to a family of entire functions which can be expanded in a uniformly convergent series of symmetrized Pochhammer polynomials depending on a real scaling parameter beta. It can be shown that the…

In this note we associate a sequence of non-negative integers to any convergent series of positive real numbers and study this sequence for the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{-k}$ where $k$ is an integer $\geq 2$.

The partition function of the random energy model at inverse temperature $\beta$ is a sum of random exponentials $Z_N(\beta)=\sum_{k=1}^N \exp(\beta \sqrt{n} X_k)$, where $X_1,X_2,...$ are independent real standard normal random variables…

In 1999, Arakawa and Kaneko introduced a zeta function whose special values at negative integers yield the poly-Bernoulli numbers and investigated its relation to multiple zeta values. Since the poly-Bernoulli numbers appear in this…

Given a periodic function $f$, we study the convergence almost everywhere and in norm of the series $\sum_{k} c_k f(kx)$. Let $f(x)= \sum_{m=1}^\infty a_m \sin {2\pi m x}$ where $\sum_{m=1}^\infty a_{m }^2d(m) <\infty$ and $d(m)=\sum_{d|m}…

We consider zeta functions: $Z(f ;P ;s)=\sum_{\m \in \N^{n}} f(m_1,..., m_n) P(m_1,..., m_n)^{-s/d}$ where $P \in \R [X_1,..., X_n]$ has degree $d$ and $f$ is a function arithmetic in origin, e.g. a multiplicative function. In this paper, I…

In a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+\alpha)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,\alpha \in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this…

We describe how certain properties of the extrema of the digits of Luroth expansions lead to a probabilistic proof of a limiting relation involving the Riemann zeta function and the Bernoulli triangles. We also discuss trimmed sums of…

We consider the random continued fraction S(t) := 1/(s_1 + t/(s_2 + t/(s_3 + >...))) where the s_n are independent random variables with the same gamma distribution. For every realisation of the sequence, S(t) defines a Stieltjes function.…

We compute the number of irreducible linear representations of self-similar branch groups, by expressing these numbers as the co\"efficients a_n of a Dirichlet series sum a_n n^{-s}. We show that this Dirichlet series has a positive…

Let $\pi S(t)$ denote the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $s=\tfrac12+it$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we give a new and simple proof of the sharpest known bound for $S(t)$. We discuss a generalization of this bound…

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 introduce a q-deformation of Dirichlet series : for each s, an operator acting on formal power series in q without constant term. We relate Bernoulli-Carlitz numbers to the q-Riemann Zeta operators for negative integers, evaluated on…
