The Wigner functions on the one dimensional lattice are studied. Contrary to the previous claim in literature, Wigner functions exist on the lattice with any number of sites, whether it is even or odd. There are infinitely many solutions…
The evaluation of the interaction between objects arranged on a lattice requires the computation of lattice sums. A scenario frequently encountered are systems governed by the Helmholtz equation in the context of electromagnetic scattering…
We introduce certain lattice sums associated with hyperplane arrangements, which are (multiple) sums running over integers, and can be regarded as generalizations of certain linear combinations of zeta-functions of root systems. We also…
Continuum limits are a powerful tool in the study of many-body systems, yet their validity is often unclear when long-range interactions are present. In this work, we rigorously address this issue and put forth an exact representation of…
We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions,…

We study the Wigner function for a quantum system with a discrete, infinite dimensional Hilbert space, such as a spinless particle moving on a one dimensional infinite lattice. We discuss the peculiarities of this scenario and of the…
In the present paper, employing properties of the complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kind, we deduce closed-form formulae for the lattice sums and other new formulae. Applications to the effective properties of regular and…
Zeros of two-dimensional sums of the Epstein zeta type over rectangular lattices of the type investigated by Hejhal and Bombieri in 1987 are considered, and in particular a sum first studied by Potter and Titchmarsh in 1935. These latter…
This paper introduces a new method for the efficient computation of oscillatory multidimensional lattice sums in geometries with boundaries. Such sums are ubiquitous in both pure and applied mathematics, and have immediate applications in…
A new finite lattice calculation of the low lying bound state energies in the massive Schwinger model is presented, using a Hamiltonian lattice formulation. The results are compared with recent analytic series calculations in the low mass…
Gardner, Gronchi and Zong posed the problem to find a discrete analogue of M. Meyer's inequality bounding the volume of a convex body from below by the geometric mean of the volumes of its slices with the coordinate hyperplanes. Motivated…
We present further results on a class of sums which involve complex powers of the distance to points in a two-dimensional square lattice and trigonometric functions of their angle, supplementing those in a previous paper (McPhedran et al,…
Elliptic Dedekind sums were introduced by R. Sczech as generalizations of classical Dedekind sums to complex lattices. We show that for any lattice with real $j$-invariant, the values of suitably normalized elliptic Dedekind sums are dense…
We derive a generalized Luttinger-Ward expression for the Free energy of a many body system involving a constrained Hilbert space. In the large $N$ limit, we are able to explicity write the entropy as a functional of the Green's functions.…
A detailed combinatorial analysis of planar convex lattice polygonal lines is presented. This makes it possible to answer an open question of Vershik regarding the existence of a limit shape when the number of vertices is constrained.
We prove a sharp bound for the remainder term of the number of lattice points inside a ball, when averaging over a compact set of (not necessarily unimodular) lattices, in dimensions two and three. We also prove that such a bound cannot…
The construction of discrete velocity models or numerical methods for the Boltzmann equation, may lead to the necessity of computing the collision operator as a sum over lattice points. The collision operator involves an integral over a…

The Gauss Circle Problem concerns finding asymptotics for the number of lattice point lying inside a circle in terms of the radius of the circle. The heuristic that the number of points is very nearly the area of the circle is surprisingly…
