An odd meromorphic function f(s) is constructed from the Riemann zeta-function evaluated at one-half plus s. We determine the two-sided Laplace transform representation of f(s) on open vertical strips, V'(4w), disjoint from the (translated)…
General Relativity gives that finitely many point masses between an observer and a light source create many images of the light source. Positions of these images are solutions of $r(z)=\bar{z},$ where $r(z)$ is a rational function. We study…
Let $0<\gamma_1\leq \gamma_2\leq \ldots$ denote the positive ordinates of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. A result first announced by Selberg states that there exist absolute constants $\Theta, \vartheta>0$ such that for…
Let $\zeta(s,z)=\sum_{(m,n)\in\mathbb{Z}^2\backslash\{0\}}\frac{(\Im(z))^s}{|mz+n|^{2s}}$ be the Eisenstein series/Epstein Zeta function. Motivated by widely used Lennard-Jones potential \begin{equation}\aligned\nonumber…
We generalize the usual exponential Boltzmann factor to any reasonable and potentially observable distribution function, $B(E)$. By defining generalized logarithms $\Lambda$ as inverses of these distribution functions, we are led to a…
Because of its relation to the distribution of prime numbers, the Riemann zeta function {\zeta} (s) is one of the most important functions in mathematics. The zeta function is defined by the following formula for any complex number s with…
We establish novel uniqueness results for the Gabor phase retrieval problem: if $\mathcal{G} : L^2(\mathbb{R}) \to L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ denotes the Gabor transform then every $f \in L^4[-\tfrac{c}{2},\tfrac{c}{2}]$ is determined up to a…
We consider iterated integrals of $\log\zeta(s)$ on certain vertical and horizontal lines. Here, the function $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. It is a well known open problem whether or not the values of the Riemann zeta-function on…
IIn a finite lattice, a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another by a sequence of congruence-perspectivities through \emph{intervals of arbitrary size}, by a 1955 result of J. Jakub\'ik. In this note, I introduce the concept of…
A real number is called simply normal to base $b$ if its base-$b$ expansion has each digit appearing with average frequency tending to $1/b$. In this article, we discover a relation between the frequency that the digit $1$ appears in the…
We generalize Ehrhart's idea of counting lattice points in dilated rational polytopes: Given a rational simplex, that is, an n-dimensional polytope with n+1 rational vertices, we use its description as the intersection of n+1 halfspaces,…
Let $0<a<b<\infty$ be fixed scalars. Assign independently to each edge in the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$ the value $a$ with probability $p$ or the value $b$ with probability $1-p$. For all $u,v\in\mathbb{Z}^2$, let $T(u,v)$ denote the first…
The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(a)$ appear in the regular part of the Laurent expansion for the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$. We present summatory results for these constants $\gamma_k(a)$ in terms of fundamental mathematical…
Linnik type problems concern the distribution of projections of integral points on the unit sphere as their norm increases, and different generalizations of this phenomenon. Our work addresses a question of this type: we prove the uniform…
Riemann's hypothesis, formulated in 1859, concerns the location of the zeros of Riemann's Zeta function. The history of the Riemann hypothesis is well known. In 1859, the German mathematician B. Riemann presented a paper to the Berlin…
In 1975 Voronin proved the universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ which roughly says that any admissible function $f(s)$ is approximated by $\zeta(s)$. A few years later Reich proved a discrete analogue of this…
Previous observations of the environments of the lensing galaxies in gravitational lens systems suggest that many of the lensing galaxies are associated with small groups of galaxies. As a result, we have begun a coordinated program to…
Two lattice points are visible to one another if there exist no other lattice points on the line segment connecting them. In this paper we study convex lattice polygons that contain a lattice point such that all other lattice points in the…
The total magnification due to a point lens has been of particular interest as the theorem that gravitational lensing results in light amplification for all observers appears to contradict the conservation of photon number. This has been…
We derive a formula for the number of lattice points in type B generalized permutohedra, providing a concise alternative to the formula obtained recently by Eur, Fink, Larson, and Spink as a result from a study of delta-matroids. Our…
