Spectral functions, such as the zeta functions, are widely used in Quantum Field Theory to calculate physical quantities. In this work, we compute the electrostatic potential and field due to an infinite discrete distribution of point…

The zeta-function regularization method is used to evaluate the renormalized effective action for massless conformally coupling scalar field propagating in a closed Friedman spacetime perturbed by a small rotation. To the second order of…

We study lower bounds for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ along vertical arithmetic progressions in the right-half of the critical strip. We show that the lower bounds obtained in the discrete case coincide, up to the constants in the…

We study the values taken by the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta$ on discrete sets. We show that infinite vertical arithmetic progressions are uniquely determined by the values of $\zeta$ taken on this set. Moreover, we prove a joint discrete…

We postulate the existence of a self-adjoint operator associated to a system with countably infinite number of degrees of freedom whose spectrum is the sequence of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We assume that it…

We prove a novel zeta regularized product formula concerning regularization of trigonometric products over non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Furthermore, we calculate the discrepancies of such regularized products. In special…

A possible connection between quantum computing and Zeta functions of finite field equations is described. Inspired by the 'spectral approach' to the Riemann conjecture, the assumption is that the zeroes of such Zeta functions correspond to…

The arguments were given in a number of our papers that the discrete quantum gravity based on the Regge calculus possesses nonzero vacuum expectation values of the triangulation lengths of the order of Plank scale $10^{-33}cm$. These…

Some recent (1997-1998) theoretical results concerning the $\zeta$-function regularization procedure used to renormalize, at one-loop, the effective Lagrangian, the field fluctuations and the stress-tensor in curved spacetime are reviewed.

We study regularization scheme dependence of $\beta$-function for sigma models with two-dimensional target space. Working within four-loop approximation, we conjecture the scheme in which the $\beta$-function retains only two tensor…

In this paper we extend the Zeta function regularization technique, which gives a meaningful solution to divergent power series, in order to assign finite values to divergent integral of certain transcendental functions $f(x)$. The…

This paper proposes an approach to interpreting quantum expectation values that may help address the quantum measurement problem. Quantum expectation values are usually calculated via Hilbert space inner products and, thereby, differently…

The machinery of computing vacuum expectation values of a time-ordered sequence of position operators of the simple harmonic oscillator is already well established. It rests on a Wick theorem, which enables one to decompose such a quantity…

We propose a regularization technique and apply it to the Euler product of zeta functions, mainly of the Riemann zeta function, to make unknown some clear. In this paper that is the first part of the trilogy, we try to demonstrate the…

Applying the general framework for local zeta regularization proposed in Part I of this series of papers, we renormalize the vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor (and of the total energy) for a scalar field in presence of an…

We generalise the $\eta$ regularisation scheme in order to develop a framework for systematically studying regularisation of loops in quantum field theory. This allows us to "solve" a set of gauge consistency conditions for families of…

We generalize the number theoretic spin chain, a one-dimensional statistical model based on the Farey fractions, by introducing a new parameter x>=0. This allows us to write recursion relations in the length of the chain. These relations…

We investigate $\beta$-functions of quantum gravity using dimensional regularisation. In contrast to minimal subtraction, a non-minimal renormalisation scheme is employed which is sensitive to power-law divergences from mass terms or…
