A new method to extract the density of partition function zeroes (a continuous function) from their distribution for finite lattices (a discrete data set) is presented. This allows direct determination of the order and strength of phase…

We shall give bounds on the spacing of zeros of certain functions belonging to the Laguerre-Polya class and satisfying a second order differential equation. As a corollary we establish new sharp inequalities on the extreme zeros of the…

To motivate our discussion, we consider a 1+1 dimensional scalar field interacting with a static Coulomb-type background, so that the spectrum of quantum fluctuations is given by a second-order differential operator on a single coordinate r…

We consider linear statistics of the scaled zeros of Dirichlet $L$--functions, and show that the first few moments converge to the Gaussian moments. The number of Gaussian moments depends on the particular statistic considered. The same…

We study the arithmetic (real) function f=g*1, with g "essentially bounded" and supported over the integers of [1,Q]. In particular, we obtain non-trivial bounds, through f "correlations", for the "Selberg integral" and the "symmetry…

We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…

In analogy with the Poisson summation formula, we identify when the fractional Fourier transform, applied to a Dirac comb in dimension one, gives a discretely supported measure. We describe the resulting series of complex multiples of delta…

The goal of this paper is to explain how a simple but apparently new fact of linear algebra together with the cohomological interpretation of L-functions allows one to produce many examples of L-functions over function fields vanishing to…

The weighted Selberg integral is a discrete mean-square, that is a generalization of the classical Selberg integral of primes to an arithmetic function $f$, whose values in a short interval are suitably attached to a weight function. We…

A permutation is said to be cycle-alternating if it has no cycle double rises, cycle double falls or fixed points; thus each index $i$ is either a cycle valley ($\sigma^{-1}(i)>i<\sigma(i)$) or a cycle peak ($\sigma^{-1}(i)<i>\sigma(i)$).…

We show that in a category with pullbacks, arbitrary sifted colimits may be constructed as filtered colimits of reflexive coequalizers. This implies that "lex sifted colimits", in the sense of Garner--Lack, decompose as Barr-exactness plus…

We represent Mat\'ern functions in terms of Schoenberg's integrals which ensure the positive definiteness and prove the systems of translates of Mat\'ern functions form Riesz sequences in $L^2(\R^n)$ or Sobolev spaces. Our approach is based…

We estimate the $1$-level density of low-lying zeros of $L(s,\chi)$ with $\chi$ ranging over primitive Dirichlet characters of conductor $\in [Q/2,Q]$ and for test functions whose Fourier transform is supported in $[- 2 - 50/1093, 2 +…

We evaluate certain multidimensional integrals in terms of the Lerch transcendent function $\Phi$, generalizing Guillera-Sondow's formulas. As an application, we get new representations of classical constants like Euler's constant $\gamma$…

We study the low lying zeros of $GL(2) \times GL(2)$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions. Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we compute the $1$-level density of the low-lying zeroes of $L(s, f \otimes g)$ averaged over families of…

We present a remarkable connection between the asymptotic behavior of the Riemann zeros and one-loop effective action in Euclidean scalar field theory. We show that in a two-dimensional space, the asymptotic behavior of the Fourier…

The standard twist $F(s,\alpha)$ of $L$-functions $F(s)$ in the Selberg class has several interesting properties and plays a central role in the Selberg class theory. It is therefore natural to study its finer analytic properties, for…

For each $f\!:\!\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{C}$ that is Henstock--Kurzweil integrable on the real line, or is a distribution in the completion of the space of Henstock--Kurzweil integrable functions in the Alexiewicz norm, it is shown that the…

We study some "density function" related to the value-distribution of $L$-functions. The first example of such a density function was given by Bohr and Jessen in 1930s for the Riemann zeta-function. In this paper, we construct the density…

In recent years L-functions and their analytic properties have assumed a central role in number theory and automorphic forms. In this expository article, we describe the two major methods for proving the analytic continuation and functional…
