The Conjecture of Lehmer is proved to be true. The proof mainly relies upon: (i) the properties of the Parry Upper functions $f_{\house{\alpha}}(z)$ associated with the dynamical zeta functions $\zeta_{\house{\alpha}}(z)$ of the…

We prove that every matrix-valued rational function $F$, which is regular on the closure of a bounded domain $\mathcal{D}_\mathbf{P}$ in $\mathbb{C}^d$ and which has the associated Agler norm strictly less than 1, admits a…

Let $W(z)$ be a $n\times n$ matrix polynomial with rational coefficients. Denote $C$ the spectral curve $\det \left( w\cdot{\bf 1}-W(z)\right) =0$. Under some natural assumptions about the structure of $W(z)$ we prove that certain…

We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…

The well-known Zalcman conjecture, which implies the Bieberbach conjecture, states that the coefficients of univalent functions $f(z) = z + \sum\limits_2^{\infty} a_n z^n$ on the unit disk satisfy $|a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}| \le (n-1)^2$ for all $n…

We formulate a parametrized uniformly absolutely globally convergent series of $\zeta$(s) denoted by Z(s, x). When expressed in closed form, it is given by Z(s, x) = (s -- 1)$\zeta$(s) + 1 x Li s z z -- 1 dz, where Li s (x) is the…

We prove the existence of transcendental entire functions $f$ having a property studied by Mahler, namely that $f(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ and $f^{-1}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})\subseteq \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and…

In this paper, we show that for a broad class of pseudoconvex formal-analytic arithmetic surfaces over $\text{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$, those which admit a nonconstant monic such regular function, that a conjecture of Bost-Charles that the ring…

We recall that diagonals of rational functions naturally occur in lattice statistical mechanics and enumerative combinatorics. We find that a seven-parameter rational function of three variables with a numerator equal to one (reciprocal of…

In this article, we derive a Euler prime product formula for the magnitude of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ valid for $\Re(s)>1$, as well as similar formulas for $\zeta(s)$ valid for an even and odd $k$th positive integer argument.…

We investigate the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov linear differential system. The coefficients of this system are rational functions. We prove that the solution of the KZ system is rational when $k$ is equal to two and $n$ is equal to three. While…

In this paper, we study the following complex Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a $q$-difference term: \begin{align}\tag{{\dag}}\label{dagger} f'(z) = a(z)f(qz) + R(z, f(z)), \quad R(z, f(z)) = \frac{P(z, f(z))}{Q(z, f(z))}, \end{align} where…

This article provides some solutions to Chinburg's conjectures by studying a sequence of multivariate polynomials. These conjectures assert that for every odd quadratic Dirichlet Character of conductor $f$,…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the (logarithmic) Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. Dubickas and Smyth, and later Fili and the author, examined metric versions of $M$. The author generalized these constructions in order to associate,…

Suppose that $k$ and $N$ are positive integers. Let $f$ be a newform on $\Gamma_0(N)$ of weight $k$ with $L$-function $L_f(s)$. Previous works have studied the zeros of the period polynomial $r_f(z)$, which is a generating function for the…

Assume that $f$ lies in the class of starlike functions of order $\alpha \in [0,1)$, that is, which are regular and univalent for $|z|<1$ and such that $${\rm Re} \left (\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} \right ) > \alpha ~\mbox{ for } |z|<1. $$ In this…

If $A(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nz^n$ and $B(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty b_nz^n$ are two formal power series, with $a_n,b_n\in \mathbb{R}$, the polynomials $(p_n)_n$ defined by the generating function $$ A(z)B(xz)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty p_n(x)z^n $$ are…

We show that the local Burkholder functional $\mathcal B_K$ is quasiconvex. In the limit of $p$ going to 2 we find a class of non-polyconvex functionals which are quasiconvex on the set of matrices with positive determinant. In order to…

We examine the rationality conjecture which states that (a) the formal power series $\sum_{r\ge 1} \tc_{r+1}(X)\cdot x^r$ represents a rational function of $x$ with a single pole of order 2 at $x=1$ and (b) the leading coefficient of the…

A conjecture of Bombieri states that the coefficients of a normalized univalent function $f$ should satisfy $$ \liminf_{f\to K} \frac{n-{\rm Re\,}a_n}{m-{\rm Re\,}a_m} = \min_{t\in{\mathbb R}} \, \frac{n\sin t -\sin(nt)}{m\sin t -\sin(mt)},…
