Extensions of the Standard Model (SM) often contain new particles with masses far above the electroweak scale. Due to the presence of a mass hierarchy, effective field theory (EFT) is a suitable tool for the study of such extensions. In…

Suppose $D$ is a suitably admissible compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^k$ having a smooth boundary with possible zones of zero curvature. Let \mbox{$R(T,\theta,x)= N(T,\theta,x) - T^{k}\mathrm{vol}(D)$,} where $N(T,\theta,x)$ is the number of…

This thesis is concerned with two topics in Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory: improvement and the application of analytic techniques. On the topic of improvement, we develop a direct method for improving lattice Hamiltonians for gluons, in…

The modified Mellin transform ${\cal Z}_k(s) = \int_1^\infty |\zeta({1\over2}+ix|^{2k}x^{-s}{\rm d} x$ ($k\ge1$ is a fixed integer, $s = \sigma + it$) is used to obtain estimates for $$…

While investigating the generalization of the Chandrasekhar (1943) dynamical friction to the case of field stars with a power-law mass spectrum and equipartition Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution, a pair of 2-dimensional integrals…

We give explicit expressions (or at least an algorithm of obtaining such expressions) of the coefficients of the Laurent series expansions of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-functions at any integer points. The main tools are the…

The distance set $\Delta(E)$ of a set $E$ consists of all non-negative numbers that represent distances between pairs of points in $E$. This paper studies sparse (less than full-dimensional) Borel sets in $\mathbb R^d$, $d \geq 2$ with a…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a bounded domain that can be written as $\Omega=\bigcup_{t} \Omega_t$, where $\{\Omega_t\}_{t\in\Gamma}$ is a countable collection of domains with certain properties. In this work, we develop a technique…

This work provides a geometric characterization of the measures $\mu$ in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ with polynomial upper growth of degree $n$ such that the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform $R\mu (x) = \int \frac{x-y}{|x-y|^{n+1}}\,d\mu(y)$ belongs…

For a positive integer k and an arbitrary integer h, the Dedekind sum s(h,k) was first studied by Dedekind because of the prominent role it plays in the transformation theory of the Dedekind eta-function, which is a modular form of weight…

We let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\Gamma$ be a closed curve contained in $\Omega$. We study existence of positive solutions $u \in H^1_0\left(\Omega\right)$ to the equation $$ -\Delta u+hu=\lambda\rho^{-s_1}_\Gamma…

Let $\Delta(x)$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let the modified error term in the divisor problem be $\Delta^*(x) = -\Delta(x) + 2\Delta(2x) - \frac{1}{2}\Delta(4x)$. We show that $$…

We present a prescription for constructing the monodromy matrix, $\hat{\cal M}(\omega)$, for $O(d,d)$ invariant string effective actions and derive its transformation properties under the $T$-duality group. This allows us to construct…

This note contains a reformulation of the Hodge index theorem within the framework of Atiyah's $L^2$-index theory. More precisely, given a compact K\"ahler manifold $(M,h)$ of even complex dimension $2m$, we prove that…

In the work [Bull, Austr. Math. Soc. 85 (2012), 315-234], S.R. Moghadasi has shown how the decomposition of the $N$-fold product of Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb R^n$ implied by matrix polar decomposition can be used to derive the…

A construction of integration, function calculus, and exterior calculus is made, allowing for integration of unital magma valued functions against (compactified) unital magma valued measures over arbitrary topological spaces. The Riemann…

Several new formulas are developed that enable the evaluation of a family of definite integrals containing the product of two Whittaker W-functions. The integration is performed with respect to the second index, and the first index is…

Falconer proved that there are sets $E\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ of Hausdorff dimension $n/2$ whose distance sets $\{|x-y| : x,y\in E\}$ are null with respect to Lebesgue measure. This led to the conjecture that distance sets have positive…

We develop a new type of orthogonal polynomial, the modified discrete Laguerre (MDL) polynomials, designed to accelerate the computation of bosonic Matsubara sums in statistical physics. The MDL polynomials lead to a rapidly convergent…
