We consider multiple sums and multi-integrals as tau functions of the BKP hierarchy using neutral fermions as the simplest tool for deriving these. The sums are over projective Schur functions $Q_\alpha$ for strict partitions $\alpha$. We…
In this article we raise some new questions about positive definite functions on free groups, and explain how these are related to more well-known questions. The article is intended as a survey of known results that also offers some new…
The classical Gaussian concentration inequality for Lipschitz functions is adapted to a setting where the classical assumptions (i.e. Lipschitz and Gaussian) are not met. The theory is more direct than much of the existing theory designed…
Fractional powers and polynomial maps preserving structured totally positive matrices, one-sided Polya frequency functions, or totally positive kernels are treated from a unifying perspective. Besides the stark rigidity of the polynomial…
We study the problem of constructing positive representations of complex measures. In this paper we consider complex densities on a direct product of $U(1)$ groups and look for representations by probability distributions on the…
We prove a unified and general criterion for the uniqueness of critical points of a functional in the presence of constraints such as positivity, boundedness, or fixed mass. Our method relies on convexity properties along suitable paths and…
We propose a de Rham - Witt version of the derived Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations, and of their hypergeometric realizations. We also propose de Rham - Witt versions of some classical theorems related to arbitrary hyperplane arrangements.
Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we rediscover and sharpen some of the best known results regarding the distribution of low-lying zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. This builds upon earlier work of Omar, which relies on the…
In this paper we introduce and study a new sequence of positive linear operators acting on function spaces defined on a convex compact subset. Their construction depends on a given Markov operator, a positive real number and a sequence of…
Recently, Gautschi introduced so-called generalized Gauss-Radau and Gauss-Lobatto formulae which are quadrature formulae of Gaussian type involving not only the values but also the derivatives of the function at the endpoints. In the…
This paper is part of a series of articles in which we reproduce the statements regarding the abstract six-functor formalism developed by Liu-Zheng. In this paper, we prove a theorem, which is an $\infty$-categorical version for defining…
The positivity of the sum from the title is the first condition in the well-known criterium for the validity of the Riemann Hypothesis suggested by X.-J. Li. In the paper this value is represented as an infinite sum with positive summands.
Zeros and poles of $k$-tuple zeta functions, that are defined here implicitly, enable localization onto prime-power $k$-tuples in pair-wise coprime $k$-lattices $\mathfrak{N}_k$. As such, the set of all $\mathfrak{N}_k$ along with their…
We establish an eigenfunctional theorem for positive operators, evocative of the Krein--Rutman theorem. A more general version gives a joint eigenfunctional for commuting operators.
Zhiwei Yun and Wei Zhang introduced the notion of "super-positivity of self dual L-functions" which specifies that all derivatives of the completed L-function (including Gamma factors and power of the conductor) at the central value $s =…
We establish a connection between the coefficients of Artin-Mazur zeta-functions and Kummer congruences. This allows to settle positively the question of the existence of a map T such that the number of fixed points of the n-th iterate of T…
This note aims at obtaining a variational characterization of complex structures by means of a calculus of variations for real vector bundle valued differential forms, and outlines a perspective to study existence questions via functionals…
We present highlights of computations of the Riemann zeta function around large values and high zeros. The main new ingredient in these computations is an implementation of the second author's fast algorithm for numerically evaluating…
Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…
A generalization of the classical Lipschitz summation formula is proposed. It involves new polylogarithmic rational functions constructed via the Fourier expansion of certain sequences of Bernoulli--type polynomials. Related families of…
